Anyone have any success using can dog or cat food as bait?
If yes, what brand and flavor?


Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

Never as bait, but we would use canned dog food as chum. Back in the day we would poke some holes in a can of cheap dog food, tie some fishing line to it and drop it down in the crappie dock I used to fish. Come back a few days later, pull up the empty can and repeat. After a week, go back and fish the area and would catch more than enough channel cats for the fish fry.

I have used Old Roy dog food as bait both as a hair rig and pack bait. I caught more carp and buffalo then catfish but did catch a few cats. The main problem is that is breaks down quickly and as mentioned before if there are sunfish in the area they will pick it apart quickly. For catfish I would go with some of the processed catfish baits like Mr. Whiskers or cut bait.
