I know it sounds stupid but I bought what I thought were catfish nuggets from Walmart (at lest thats what was pictured onthe package and what it was labeled). Turned out to skin on pieces of catfish bellies. Dang sure aint going to eat them. Thought I would try them on some jug lines Sunday. Got to put them out in the day time but see what happens.

Any part of a gamefish is illegal to use as bait.

Yes, it would be illegal...and it's not the skin, it's the meat from the belly.

If I can stand it, it ain't good bait. If I gag, it's ready. If I blow chunks...it's time to go fishin'.

* Nongame fish, channel catfish, blue catfish, and flathead catfish may be taken by trotline.
* Red drum, spotted seatrout, and sharks caught on a trotline may not be retained or possessed.


Catfish are game fish. They are the only game fish you can take but jug or trotline.

Not much meat on these pieces. And if its so good how do you ge the skin off? Can't filet it. I dang sure dont eat catfish skin. If i cant fish it then I guess it just goes in the trash.
