stink bait recipes

My Dad used to make stink bait for fishing. He took a 5 gallon can, put a gallon of chicken guts, a couple gallons of rotten milk, a couple of cans of condensed milk, a gallon of blood from the local slaughter house, several pounds of beef melt, several pounds of corn meal, and sometimes a little garlic.

He punched a little hole (1/8th) inch in the lid, put the lid on and buried it about 100 yards from the house in a wheat field. He would leave it in the ground for 3-4 weeks. He always put a short stick next to it so that it could be located later. After a couple of weeks the stick was not necessary. The smell was so strong that it could be located by smell. It was really stink bait.

I always thought he had a lot of courage to reach into that stinky mess to bait hooks on bank lines and trott lines. He did catch the fish too. Try it it works!!!!!

Catfish love nightcrawlers. Bass love shinners. I sometime have fished for both at the same time using the same bait in different ways.

Bass are attracted to the shinners swimming around. The shinners will sometimes die before caught. I change rods with these and hook the dead shinner sometimes cut a little and fish the bottoms for cat.

catfish will eat anything that’s smaller than them you can even catch them while pike fishing coz they are just giant under water vacume cleaners.

a good lure would be abu toby lures in a range of colors and sizes, in britain people use them for pike, zander, perch, bass basicly almost all predatry fish.

Hope you can get the lures.

hey, i was in the walmarts today and i saw a lure for catfish that i havent tried but it was very eye catching and i am going to pick it up the next time that i am up there. it was a treble hook with a plastic looking piece on the shaft of the hook. the piece looked like a piece of stink bait molded to the hook. sold seperaty from the hook is a tube of bait/scent/stink bait that gets squirted into the plastic piece on the hook. i am not too sure what the name if it was gou it stood out to me from all the other different catfish baits. if you can’t find that use the tink bait dough that is made of shrimp and chicken blood. that is the best dough bait that i have found. if you don’t want dough use chicken liver or gizzards..gizzards stay on better than liver but the liver is a better attractant. if you look for that bait that i described go ahead and get it and try it and then tell me if it works or not….hope that helps

PETER J:

i use stink bait, either the “links” or the paste in the jar; cut bait, such as shad; large minnows that cannot swim well, and a glob of ‘crawlers, either on the bottom with sinkers, or suspended under a float. for bass, you can use lures that stay on top of the water, dive, or sink; plastic worms rigged just about anyway you want, minnows on a hook below the bobber. try watching “versus” or “outdoor channel” for more info. there are a lot of fishing magazines that specialize in different species– “in-fisherman” is a multi-species magazine

birdman:

For catfish alot of people use bream or crappie.For bass you won’t go wrong with zoom lizards.
