going to try the baiting thing

I'm thinking I'm going to try the baiting catfish hole method this week. I am going to try using dogfood and range cubes on a private access lake. I figure I will start slinging food and cubes on Wed. after work, and thursday, and then Friday if I can make it out. And go Saturday and start trying to pull in the cats.

If I can find the time, I have a buddy that started a brewery up in LR. I might try (later) using spent brewers grain that I can leave out in the sun for a day or 2. But that will be a couple of weeks before I can get to the brewery for those.

I wish I had the time and resources Nimrod has with his baiting methods, but I'll use what I can, when I can.

Good luck! I have a 55 gallon drum of soured grain that I am about to start dropping in a few holes on Pickthorne. I used two sacks of grain, 15 tubs of chicken liver, 5lbs of sugar, and a couple packs of brewers yeast. Fill with water and wait a few days, stirring after a couple days. Pretty potent stuff, and if the cats ain't biting, you can take a shot or two of the juice!!

We might need to meet up and fish with each other a time or 2. I'm in Scott and baiting on Old River, and Pickthorne isn't but a hop skip and jump away from the house.

Sounds good. I marked a few holes last weekend. I'll prolly start baiting this weekend if it stays dry for a few days. I'll let you know how we do.

^^^^^^^^

Sorry for the late response. I guess sometimes life gets in the way of fishing. about 2 weeks ago, Catfish, Mary, and myself were in a bit of a fender (door) bender to put it lightly. Mary was in the passenger seat. A cracked out goober on a suspended licence ran a red light and t-boned us. WE ARE ALL UN-INJURED... I repeat WE ARE ALL UN-INJURED

But the car has been sitting under the carport at the house trying to deal with cut rate insurance company. I am finally getting it appraised today after a few threats of contacting the AR AG and AR insurance association. So with the car sitting idle, I have been without a boat mover, thus the boat has been under the shed.

It looks like the kitty cats will get another week to fatten up after spawning before I can go after them, but hopefully after a little salt air in my lungs, I will feel better, and Momma will have a new car.

Most times they don't all spawn at once but they should be hungry. Sorry about your misfortune . Hope to see Catfish with a cooler shot full soon .

Sure glad every one is ok. More time to pull in all those catfish.

Glad everyone is safe and sound. Looks like Mary was lucky on this one!!! GOD is Good, All the Time.

Glad to hear everyone is OK...that's the important thing.... the rest will work itself out.
