Soap Bait
Here is another method, and that is soap bait! Catfish are very strange eaters. Yes, they will bite on soap bars. They enjoy Ivory, Lava, and Octagon bar soap. Try any brand that you have on hand. You just never know what they will bite until you try. The first thing that you will need to do is bake the soap in the oven until it becomes pliable enough for you to cut it up into 1 inch chunks, without it crumbling. Baking the soap, will also make it easier for you to bait your hooks. Please keep in mind that soap has lye in it and it will eat the points and barbs off of your hook, if left in the water for a long time, but it is well worth the trouble. I must also mention that in the very hot summer months, soap bait will not be the most effective way to bait your hook. It will melt too quickly in the very warm water. I use this method in the spring and in the fall.
Happy Fishing!

Cute site. We just got back from fishing crappie and bluegill. Caught a few catfish on wax worms. :)
ReplyDeleteCatfishChic - Just came across your blog today while browsing the 'net for new fishing blogs. You are off to a fine start blogging about your love of fishing. I have some Catfish experience, but, it has been awhile now. I will soak up your tips here and drop in often. I have added your link to my blog list on my blog. Hope to steer some other fishing folks your way. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog by way of Mel. Great start. I will add you to my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteTight lines
Found your blog by way of Mel also. Don't fish for cat's, but I'll stop by and check out your tips. Always interesting to find out seems catfish will bite on most everything including soap. Who would know. You can find me on Mel's blog at Northern California Trout.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some of my readers are beginning to wander over here. I knew they would like what they see! Just a suggestion for you - you might want to add a blog roll on your sidebar with links to other blogs that pertain to fishing etc. (Mine included, of course :) I know Fish Whisperer and Shoreman and The Hunter's Wife would appreciate being linked back to also. Keep up the good work and tell us more about fishing for Mr. Whiskers.
ReplyDeleteWell, blow me down! As the pop-eyed sailor once said!
ReplyDeleteWonder full information. I love this kind of blog which provide specific information about fishing.
ReplyDeleteIf your going to steal images off of my website the least you could do is provide a link to my website as well, or at least ask permission first. I would appreciate it if you would either remove the image taken from www.catfishbaitsoap.com or insert a link to the website into your post.
