I spent the better part of the last week camped out on the point of a nice cove and fishing every morning and every evening. I've tried to keep atleast 1 cat pole in the water (sometimes up to 4) with various baits/sizes. Chicken and beef liver, worms, catapillars (both fresh and mush in a bottle). Live and cut bait (locally caught bream).
All that and I only caught 1 small (2lbish) channel cat. However, during the day I've been bass/crappie fishing and have caught 3 cats on plastic grubs!
I think these catfish are confused. They ignore my cut bait and go for my plastic bait. The only thing I can think of is that my 'bass feast' scent should be called 'catfish feast' scent instead. Maybe I should use some on my catfish bait? :-D
Here's some pics to illustrate
