Bacon?

Anybody ever used it for catfish? Thought about trying it dipped in some punch bait....

Would probably work. Personally, I had rather eat the bacon.

Catfish, will eat anything

It would work. But you would be better off with minners/bream or some fresh cut bait or worms

Not sure why u would use sumthing that is 6 bucks a pound to catch sumthing that is a dollar a pound

You are gonna laugh, but spicy slim Jim's. Or, any other spicy link style sausage cooked. The oils drive them crazy. I would keep a couple of slim Jim's on the pontoon for the little kids to fish with and they would hammer them on a float.

WHEW! I like Slim Jims BUT cost comparison puts them at about $237.23 a pound. Suckers are high as giraffe tonsils at the quick marts!

Get the little short ones that are .25/ea. YOu can get 4 or 5 good pieces from those

Pink hot dogs sprayed with wd-40

It's not natural for Tilapia to eat crap. If you eat farm raised Tilapia, that is fed correctly, they are very good.

Probably NOT something you should be putting in the river.

I like this idea....the oil content makes sense!

Old deer meat works well. Let it sit in the sun a couple of days. Somebody also said rotten potatoes are the killers.

I dont know why, but this made me laugh more than it probably should lol

Yep, slim Jim's are some greasy eats

I've heard of foreign countries feeding them manure from other animals like pigs and cows. Shew

I did for winter fishing back in Texas. We had a large population of roosting water turkeys on Lake Lewisville. I would find the trees they were roosting in. Early morning I would approach a tree and have my rod rigged with a piece of bacon and a LARGE float. Lob it so that the float would make a splat sound when it hit the water. Catfish hung out underneath those trees and associated the splat sound with bird poop. In the spring I would use those mini cocktail weiners. That way I could eat the bait if I got hungry.

always use a bait that you can eat if the fishing is slow....

So, your new to fishing huh?

I've tried fishing with slim jims twice and didn't catch schit. The best bait I've ever used for catfish was freezer burnt red snapper and fresh tuna bloodlines.
