Scrapple as catfish bait
Has anyone tried scrapple? Seems like an already prepared bait, if you ask me.
All right. Everyone is asking about baits, from steak to squid...I'm surprised some of you don't use caviar, escargot, or pate for bait! When are you guys going to realize that catfish are just like us--they ain't high-ca-flootin'!:lol:
I'm still interested in knowing if there are any fishermen experienced with scrapple.
Does anyone eat scrapple? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? :embarassed:
Ma drinks Snapple...:confused2: plays Scrabble...:smile2:

No problem is insoluble in all conceivable circumstances.
All right, Jeb! :lol:
My wife's family always butchered a hog every fall. After the meat was cut, the sausage was made. Following the sausage, comes the makings of the scrapple and pudding (puddin', as we call it). The chiterlings (chittlin's) were always claimed by a fella' up the road (he lived a long time off them things!).
Scrapple is basically made from pork drippings and leftovers from the sausage making process, all mixed with corn meal. It is as much a staple of the breakfast plate as grits are down south.
In fact, I have seen scrapple featured on restaurant menus in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. In the stores, you will find it usually sold under the Rapa brand.
Anyway, it sounds like a perfect catfish bait. I guess that I'll have to give it a try and then provide a fishing report!
yummmm.... scrapple n eggs. what about corned beef hash?
Ha! Catfish might like corned beef hash, too. But I think that scrapple might stay on the hook better.Originally Posted by benneeb0y
After all, think about it. Some recipes for home-made bait is fairly close to this ready-made source!
It just might work!!!!
How interesting! It just might work,if a piece of bacon can catch em why not this stuff?I have to admit I have never heard of it,but I would be extremely interested in finding out exactly word for word what it is,I might go to my local butcher shop here in town and see if I could get some. Here's reps to ya man,I stand amazed at all the info I get off this site. It truly is fantastic!--pk powell:smile2:

If I ever find any more Scrapple,I am going to eat it.That catfish is going to have to find his own.Peewee-williams
They sell it in the grocery stores here in NC, in the meat case
