Anyone here make their own stink bait? I have a 55gallon barrel that I put 50pounds sweet feed, 50 cattle cubes, 50 chicken scratch and a bunch of old beer into and its stinks to high heaven.... What do yall use? How do I thicken this up? Can I do anything with the concoction that I have?
Man, I'm glad you don't live upwind from me. That stuff has got to smell BAD! Have you got a backhoe?
Lol.... No I sure don't but I do live out in the country so don't have to worry about neighbors.... Wife does make me keep it away from the house though.....
Sounds like you have some super good chum for catfish! Just throw out some in likely cat spot. Buy a bucket of "sureshot" stink bait (or Danny King) and a pkg of #6 treble hooks. Wait a few hours and start catching channel cats!!! Good luck....HarleyQuote:

How did the beer get old? Us folks down here wouldn't understand.Quote:

Just add you some flour to it, that should thicken it up for ya.
It's kind of lumpy from the big grains in it what is something that would help to keep it on the hook?
I make my own stink bait by grinding any type of cheese,good or moldy and place 10#s or so along with 7#s of brains into a bucket. Grind some shad, maybe 5#, and add to the bucket. Next add the liquor off some soured wheat, maybe a cup and stir everything with a paint stirrer attached to a power drill. Put a lid on it and set downwind from the house for a couple weeks for it to ferment. Stir it every 2-3 days to knock the gas out of it. You can also buy shredded cheese at Walmart and save some time.
CdavisLPN - I think really what you have is just chum and you need to make the cheese bait that I just gave you the recipe for and use the chum as an attractor.
That sounds good to me cricket thanks so much I figured even if I couldn't make sink bait out of it that I could use it for chum.... I wonder if chum or bait and be to soured or stinky for them though??? Cody
No!! Remember the base is cheese. You will be fine.
Just don't get any on your finger.
