Here’s a tried and true recipe for some excellent homemade catfish bait.

The ingredients you will need are, chicken breast or hotdogs! Any of your favorite bait would work.

Chicken beast
Minced onions

I add as much or as little of ingredients to meet your preference. Stir and mix items together until thoroughly saturated.

Thank you for sharing, I'm going fishing for Blue & Channel Catfish this weekend. I'm going to use chicken chunks and hotdogs cut in 1/3, with chicken liver and garlic salt, plus Jello...Jello has Amilo Acid like animal product. (SALMONELLA) Make sure you wash your hands after handling raw chicken. Also, I might try to target for some Red Drum Fish on shrimp at the lakes here in San Antonio, TX! 🐟🎣

Good recipe man! I use a similar recipe but use chicken gizzards, flour, salt, garlic powder, a tablespoon of A1 and let it sit in the fridge overnight in a gallon size bag.

Hey I can't wait to make some more of this and catch some more

[Ghostkirby_]

One more thing after making the homemade bait if I’m saving it for later would I refrigerate this or leave it out

[Ghostkirby_]

If you can answer I know I’m late to the video but can you use a different flavor of Jell-O or Kool-Aid and still catch fish

[chichorello]

Try squid caught 21 off em some were small some were decent but for a good 4 hrs it was hell of a time

[RebelHawk]

Question: the bait, do you let it sit over night in the fridge or what? I have a decent sized public lake near by an I don't live that far from the Tennessee River. I used to use chicken liver called Bayou Baits but the local stores don't carry it anymore.

Hey I wanted to ask for tips because I made my own bait and will use it tomorrow but I don’t know how it will work it contains;
Cut up Hot dog
Adobo (food my mom cooks)
2 table spoons Kool aid powder
2 table spoons Onion Powder

Is the jello/koolaid/punch for color or does it add flavor?

[johnthomas]

and as long as not handled to much/ set in hot sun, you can cook it and have a meal if the fish are not biteing....

[michaelmichellevillareal]

Of course you going to catch them your fishing a stock pond

[BogueChittoSightings]

I tried it and this stuff works, had one jump in the boat and unfortunately latched on to my bro n laws beans .
I’m thinking this stuff is too good, just be careful out there . Life is too short for that to happen

[DavidReyes-qpnq]

I've seen some ppl use olive oil. I didn't see you used it, im goin to try yrs bait you showed

[mamabethgonzalez]

Gizzards work great they
Have to work hard to get the bait end up getting the hook

[randolphbehm]

I watched a video of a guy that did a comparison between plain chicken and chicken laced with koolaid and garlic. He found no advantage with the laced chicken catching equal numbers with both versions.

[jetgoatpigs]

I mixed the most vile bait I could make and I don’t know how it will go but it’s smells horrible

[tonyodom]

Sorry, man, but with a small pond like that, They will.
Eat anything.

[michaelstamper]

[jondoe]
