Gato Azul,
Next Time you see Charlie Brown make sure You tell him I said Hi. He makes some Dang good bait and he knows how to find those Choke Canyon Catfish. The last time he had some bait for me I didn't have the cash, and the time I had the cash He didn't have the bait. I'll be getting a gallon or so sooner or later.

Be safe.

Seems that way for a lot of folks. I have 2 spots I use floating jugs on Whitney in less than 10' of water in the heat of the day and catch 5:1 blues over channels. Not big mind ya. Most are in the 2-4# class. Only thing smaller are those danged old double finned juvenile channels. Man those suckers seem to stick me half the time!

Thanks Hooker! I found the website and printed out the order form. I hope I use up the whole gallon fast!

Michael: How do you know Charlie? I assume from both of you guiding at CC? I haven't seen him in a while. Will send you a pm.

Dang

Benny's website directly is: catfishbait.net for his Sure-Shot bait.

It is some good stuff.

I agree. I seem to catch a lot more channels on DK than blues. This is why I don't use it. It is an awesome bait, but I just prefer to catch blues over channels. I have used Sure-Shot quite a bit, and I seem to catch a lot more blues on it. I have caught a few channels with it, but not like DK. I still prefer fresh shad or perch cutbait to punchbait. When fresh bait is hard to get, punchbait is definitely my next choice.

Hey, thanks peej: I've known about using old stockings like that, but never tried it. Next time my wife has a "run" on one, I'll transfer it from the trash can to my tackle box. Any particualar shape and size you cut in into, like one inch squares?

Last time out to Choke Canyon I used some chicken liver I had soaked in garlic powder and it seemed to work well. I used Kahles and didn't have much trouble keeping it on the single hook. I took a tip from some folks and cut it up using scissors instead of a knife, then threw in the garlic. The scissors made a difference. I still have some left, so I'll do the stocking thing next time. Sounds like that might work even for a jug line since the throwbacks can't be stealing it.

Thanks!

Be sure and cut those pantyhose into pieces BEFORE you put em in the boat! Hard to explain what pantyhose are doin in the boat ifn you forget to use em.
