jasonking+FollowGrandpa's weird catfish bait actually worked! 🧼Found my grandpa's old tackle box and couldn't stop laughing at what was inside - chunks of blue Zest soap wrapped in foil! Thought the old man had lost it until my buddy explained that soap used to be a legit catfish bait. Turns out channel cats don't care if it's "natural" - they just follow strong scent trails. Grandpa also doused his chicken livers with WD-40, which sounds crazy but makes perfect sense now. These days I stick to hot dogs when my shad runs out. Channel cats are the least picky of all the catfish species, so why overthink it? What's the weirdest "old school" bait your family swears by? #fishing #catfishing #BaitTips #FishingLife 6048Share
fisherchad+FollowTried these baits on carp and caught more than expectedBeen doing more carp fishing lately, and figured I’d share what’s been working best for me. I’ve rotated through a bunch of options, but these 3 baits always seem to get bites: 1️⃣ Sweet corn – easy to find, smells sweet, and that bright yellow really pops. 2️⃣ Homemade dough – mix flour with jam, garlic powder, or shrimp oil. Cheap and customizable. 3️⃣ White bread – works like magic in park ponds where fish are used to people feeding ducks. Worms? I still bring some, but honestly, corn and dough outperform most days. What’s your go-to carp bait? #fishing #carpfishing #baittips #fishingtips50Share
