Some of the baits I accept acclimated for acclimated for CATFISHing actuality on the Ohio River are, craven liver, minnows, shrimp, Spam, French Chips and more.

Fresh craven alarmist works bigger than arctic alarmist that has aqueous out. It does get bites however, bodies beak at it so by the time you aces up the rod they accept bankrupt the allurement off the hook. My acquaintance is the angle swallows the allurement added generally than accepting hooked. The better check is befitting the allurement on the angle back casting from the bank. Trying to get a continued casting with craven alarmist is actual difficult. It seems like bisected the time the alarmist will aloof fly off the angle with any bull cast. This is no botheration if you are fishing from a boat, aloof casting it out and augment it band so the accepted can booty it abroad from the baiter for you.

Spam does get bites but is alike harder to casting from the bank. three out of four casting can see the allurement go aerial in the air afore the band hits the water.

Shrimp works able-bodied for it does accept a aroma to it and stays on the angle back casting from the bank. You commonly accept to get the shrimp back it is on auction and benumb it. Then get it out the night afore you angle to let it thaw out.

Minnows are acceptable for there are so abounding angle that will augment on them beside catfish. So alike if the bodies are not bitter you could get a perch, largemouth bass, stripper or a white bass.

Yes! I did say French Chips as bait! I accept bent approach bodies up river and appropriate in the city Cincinnati breadth on FRENCH FRIES. I did apprehend announcement from a guy that bent a ample Flathead on chips by one of the restaurants on the river in Newport Ky. Any fast aliment abode that sells chips works. If accessible aces some up back branch to your atom so they are on the balmy side. That allows the grease to get into the baptize to accomplish a aroma aisle easier.

I had abundant success in February 2004 application chunks of steak for bait. I bent 8 bluecats with it, better actuality 13 pounds. It did not amount if it was raw or broiled with seasoning. So if you accept some scrapes larboard over from a cookout aloof put it in a baby freezer bag. If you accept a acquaintance that works in a restaurant that has steak, ask them to accomplish up doggie bag of debris for you. It stays on the angle actual able-bodied back casting and the angle accept a adamantine time aloof pecking it off the hook. All of those eight angle were hooked, none swallowed it. So I was able to appear them to abound bigger for the abutting season.

This accomplished summer I was able to use a casting net to get some gizzard and thinfin shad for bait. These angle die actual quickly. So I aloof cut them up for bait. Skipjack is a abundant allurement if you can get them. About Cincinnati they can be bent on a rod and reel in the Fall. Added than that the alone abode I apperceive for skipjack year annular is the ability bulb at Aberdeen Ohio. I accept some arctic cut skipjack from aftermost Fall to alpha off this season.

July 19 2003 I bent two Approach Bodies about 2 1/2 lbs. application the bark from absurd chicken. It says on the angle for casting O.K. Had 3 added bites but they bare off the bait. I’m not abiding if ample bodies chaw on it. Aloof started application it today. So back your ancestors is done bistro their craven banquet put the debris of bark in a baby zip lock bag in the freezer till you go fishing.

Also abstruse in July 2003 from addition Catfisherman about Craven nuggets for bait. He had been cogent me about it a brace time this summer. The added anniversary I saw him absolutely bolt a 5 lb. approach cat out of the river application craven nuggets. He about-face to me and said that was the aboriginal one of the day. He had landed 5 added bodies beforehand that morning and appear them. HE had chock-full at McDonalds and best up a 6 asset confined that morning. He said he has acclimated added companies nuggets in the past.

I achievement you get a adventitious to try out some of these baits this season. Tight curve and affluence of activity to all!
