What do you generally use for pan fish and catfish?
kitty
panfish use straight earthworm
catfish use the earthworm but spit a little copenhagen on him first
Where do you find a little Copenhagen? I know, I know....in Denmark.

I fly fish. However, you can use canned corn or bread balls in addition to earthworms.
ol'roy dog food attracts catfish like mad. I make dog food and cornmeal balls gets a great response
Night crawlers or bologna. Works for me.
Cut Blue back Herring is my choice for catfish and I use Nightcrawlers for panfish. I break off smalls peices of the crawlers.
Thanks, everyone, just wondering what folks from around the country uses. Welder I also make a lot of my own dough baits, have much better luck with them than any store bought stuff, only I use flour instead of corn meal. I will try that with ol roy.
I also catch every kind of bug/hopper/crawdad (if they dont pinch me first, then I throw them down, holler and scream for a while and go back to looking for grasshoppers)
I dont know the names of these bugs but they come in the late spring and fall to outside lights at night. Not here during the really hot summer months. I saw some on tv and they called them June Bugs. (Our June Bugs are big green grasshopper looking critters and they will bite.)
Anyway, the pan fish here like them as much as they like crickets. I catch all I can and put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer, in fact I freeze very bug I get and use it for bait also.
Before I had to move in with my daughter I fished every single day. Now that I will be moving out this coming week I will fish every chance I get, depends on the weather. Our forecast for the next 2 weeks is rain/t.storms daily.
Ok, I appreciate your answers, welder if you decide you want some of my dough recipes let me know. They dont stink but they sure work and for pan fish as well as cats.

I've also used sandworms for freshwater bass, pickerel, and salmon. They do the job just fine.
catfish-dough balls, anise flavored. chicken guts, wad of worms and fish on the bottom. Anything you can stand to put on a hook works.
pan fish- use a portion of worm, cheese, bologna any part of your lunch, smaller hook and no sinker. Get into a school of bluegill and anything works, matter of fact if they are feeding fish will hit most anything.
Thanks. Does anybody do much bank fishing in here? I am addicted to fishing and can eat them every day. I intend in the very near future to start fishing again several times a week. In the meanwhile I have watched others fish at the lake the closest to me and they arent doing to good, dunno if the lake is about fished out or if the dratted turtles have eaten most of them. The WildLife Management wont do anything about it and its against the law to kill a soft shell. The striped ones are the pain!! We have 4 lakes here, all turtle infested to the point fishing isnt that pleasant anymore.Quote:

You have to go at sunrise, otherwise the fish have been grazing all day long and are not real hungry.
I have a brother who used to catch catfish with dead Night Crawlers left in the sun. Stink baits work pretty good I hear. Pan Fish are the best, IMO. Talk to the other fishermen in your area about the "bank-fishing" problem, they might have some info.:cool2:

I've heard some people call them "blood worms." Up my way, most folks (and every bait shop I've been to) call them sandworms.Quote:
