Jug Line Bait
Posted on 8/15/20 at 1:36 pm

What’s the best?
My little boy has developed a like of running jug lines out of a little jo boat at the camp.
We’ve been using some catfish bait from Wal Marks with decent success- is there anything better?

Way back when I did we used a lot of chicken gizzards as well as things marinated in asafetida.

What species of catfish?

Catch a sucker, scale it leaving the skin on, cut the sides into 1"x2" strips, run the hook through.
You'll catch a few snapping turtles too, but plenty of cats cheap.

Where I'm from we have a fish market that sells Buffalo fish. When you fillet a Buffalo, you basically have two fillets. The lower fillet is boneless. They sell that one for $5 a pound. The upper fillet is a strip about 1" wide and as long as the fish. They sell that one for $1 a pound.
Makes perfect bait because all you have to do is cut that strip into 1" cubes. Most of the work is already done for you. And because it's bony, it stays on the hook better.

Any kind of fish or guts that will stay on the hook.

I have some old coon azz patients of mine in Morgan city that use zoat soap. They swear by it.

I heard about the soap before- I think we might try it.
I gave him a 10’ Alumaweld with a 30lb Minn Kota for his birthday- y’all would think the dude is piloting a battleship- at least he thinks so!

Coot guts work great. Stays on the hook forever

Catfish livers are the best catfish bait IMO. Free, just got a spend a few seconds taking them out.

You wanting Ops, or blues and channels? Ops I’d go with live bream, the others, bout anything will work

Personally I like to use live bait, it's hard to get but you catch better fish.
If you can find "bait" goldfish or giant shiners they work.
#1 is live bream about 3-4 inches long
We have a trap we use or sometimes buy a box of worms and catch them
Everything in the lake will eat a bream

We used to get beef fat from a butcher. Stays on hook well and everything seems to love it.

Large shiners

Live or cut bream, dead smelly shrimp. If you have a cast net try to catch you some shad or buy from somewhere.

So, I’ve been running jugs this year with the kids and tried fresh Shad, bream, cut buffalo; and the best have been something I read online. Cut chicken breast and hot dogs; formula has been a bag of cherry jello, garlic powder(both under a $1 at Walmart) mixed in ziplock bag. A big flat of breasts is about $9:50, hot dogs are $1 a dozen. Not inexpensive, but we catch quite a bit of catfish on them. All the flathead have been on bream, but the best for the blues and channels Have been the chicken. Thought the cut bait would do a lot better, and maybe at night, but running them with the kids, the chicken and hotdogs have just produced the best for us...

Been slaying cats on jugs for decades with nightcrawlers.

No one has mentioned the best bait yet which is eel. Cut into a 3/4" square. Only problem is that they are hard to come by.
The Kool-Aid Garlic Powder marinade works real good too.
