My buddy rieve and I headed out to a local lake this morning pushing corks in 10 ft of water with minnows five feet deep. The bite was slow. we decided to toss some kitty litter to chum up the crappie and immediately the bite started to pick up. We ended up with 28 crappie and three catfish.
Now that's a first for me! Never heard of chumming with kitty litter!
NEW one on me too.:scratchhead
FISH ON:fish
Me either but it worked. I guess the little pellets falling through the water column made them bite
I would like to know how many goobers will run to the store and buy kitty litter for there next fishing trip, what made you try this? Just have some in the boat and decide awe what heck, fish aren't bitting , lets try this kitty litter, just might work, I've never heard of it before but 'hey jack' whatever works! lol!!!
Used it to hold my rod holder in my buddies boat in a 5 gallon bucket. Just happened to toss some out and as soon as I did caught a fish so did it a few more times it was crazy
This is a pretty amazing thread. First, how in the world did you stick those fish on that board and get them to hang like that for the picture. Second, I've just checked with Walmart if they would price break a pallet of kitty litter. They said "naw". I asked if they would price break it for the humane society, and they said "yes". Now I don't know whether to lie or pay full priceDevil Icon
Just bought Wal Mart out in Waldron
I prefer cow chips. Readily available in my boat and a lot cheaper than cat litter.
I guess there are worse things to do. Somebody let me know if they have the same result before I go buy a pallet of kitty litter!:scratchhead
Go ahead and buy a pallet. If it don't work, you can always get a cat.Quote:

I use cooked rice. Don't laugh it does draw catfish and lots of bait fish which pull in some crappie. Last week I caught several Crappie off a pallet stake bed I baited for Catfish.
We need this to be a "Weirdest Tricks to Catch Crappie" contest! Nimrod, what ever made you throw rice in the water? You have some in your pocket after attending a wedding or what?
I feed Catfish every year for years and look for the cheapest stuff I can buy. I had heard of cooked rice drawing baitfish to a brush pile years ago. I had the chance to buy a ton of white rice and started cooking it by the 5 gallon bucket. Been scattering 2 five gallon buckets a day.Quote:

I read an article several years ago about plungering the bottom. The dude fastened a long handle to a commode plunger and would plunger the bottom where he was going to fish. The article said it stirred the mud and simulated a bunch of fish feeding.
I nominate this thread for the "weirdest" thread of the year! :crazy:And getting weirder by the minute!!!!
nice catch and wal-mart has sold out of cat litter:dono
I do believe this kind of thing can cause feeding by tricking the fish to thinking a insect hatch is occurring in the area. Take a brown paper bag fill with rice and put a rock inside to sink it. Tie a fishing line to it and lower into the brush pile. Give the line a quick jerk to bust the bag open, disperse the rice. The rice will swell up and rise to the service causing a simulated insect hatch and hopefully a crappie feeding.
Or carpet bomb an area with rice it will sink and rise and I have no doubt crappie, bream and catfish will feed on the rice thinking they are insects. Rice is a awesome cumming tactic. It sinks and rises giving you a two fold cumming attack and fish like it better than kitty litter. Just Taste better. HAHA!!!
