These 100+ degree days are giving me the urge to throw out some jugs at night.........was wondering if anyone has ever catfished with shrimp for bait?,,and if so what was the results?Last year i tried hot dogs with no success and tried soap with no success.but i will say this for soap,it stayed on the hook well.:dono
for channel cats use chicken liver or cut bait . flatheads use live brem if the brem die the cats will eat them . put the line as deep as the top river ledge or just above a sand flat .
TKS- I normally use bream but it so hot right now it would be miserable trying to catch some.I was wondering how some shrimp i could buy at the grocery store might work.Quote:

I have been catching fish lately on hotdogs marinated in garlic. I use the minced kind you buy at the store.
Been catching on stink bait. but dont know about baiting jugs
Live bream or green sunfish. Shrimp or chicken livers works well to
I bought a couple packs of shrimp to use as bait.............but ended up eating them with some tatorsRofl
Curious why I didn't see Shad mentioned anywhere here. I throw a cast net early in the AM or late at night when its dark around some lights and you can get hundreds in 2 or 3 casts. We slaughter the blues on live and dead shad. sometimes whole, sometimes cut.
I do use shad late summer early fall.They seem to be more plentiful then and larger at those times of the year where i fish.And they are a great bait.
I'm a rookie when it comes to every kind of fishing except juggin, and as far as catfish go.. chicken liver wrapped in panty hose. The panty hose will keep the liver on the hook long after its started to fall to pieces. Hell I've used the same piece of liver to catch 3 or 4 fish at times.
I would give your method a try buttt there aint"NO" way im going in any store and buying some panty hose-nope.RoflQuote:
