So, I've tried the following man made baits:
Danny Kings(original, blood, garlic)
Lewis Kings
Big Marvs
Secret7
Bills Brains & Cheese
Premo Dip Bait
and some other random baits I've come across(haven't tried SureShot or Rednecks Catfish Bait Soap yet, but I'll give em a shot once I get my hands on em.)....



Now, I want to try making some baits. I just finished making the following:

� 1 box. (20oz.) Corn flakes (cheapest brand you can find)
� 4 oz. Colby or Cheddar cheese (grated)
� 4 oz. Honey
� 3 cups flour
� 1 pk. cherry Kool Aid (pk. size - to make 2 quarts)
� 3 tblsp. Garlic powder
� 1 tsp. Anise oil
� 2 cups water

Instructions for mixing
� Pour corn flakes in a VERY LARGE bowl and crush finely.
� Add flour, cheese, Kool Aid, garlic powder & honey.
� Add water and anise oil to the mixture.
� VERY IMPORTANT: Knead mixture until it is smooth (about 10 min.). Shape into a large pancake, smooth a little flour on both sides of the pancake and put into a 1 gal. size "Zip Lock" bag.
� Put into the freezer and it is ready to go.




We'll see how it works tomorrow at Tawakoni!! It smells pretty good

I found the recipe online.... anyone have any they have tried and wanna share?

I bet that would make a great carp bait also!

let me know how it works!

blender makes corn flakes easy, Im tryin cattails,nacho cheese,blended sour maize seems pretty good so far

Ohhh, I didn't think of the blender. I had a hard time crushing all the corn flakes...

I decided to get the frosted corn flakes- cuz well, I like frosted more than regular :p hahahaha I'm trying to think like a fish, but its hard to lol

HAHAH They will appreciate that!

Ohhhhh, I forgot to mention. I found that Zote soap too. I've read on here some folks have tried it with some luck.

I'll let everyone know how we do with what baits later today

I found that fresh makes dough balls stay together better but I never tried freezin it I was usin corn flakes & chum I would grind flakes put in ziplock when got to lake add chum juice worked pretty good

5 gallon bucket 1/4 full of range cube, 1 gallon sour wheat, fill to 6" above cubes with water cover and let sit covered for 3 days (may need to add more water to get it to swell right). Take out a lrg handfull add more wheat (no water), sugar and flour. This is the basis and you can add whatever else you want. Work it together till you can make a ball the size of a #8 treble hook and it holds it texture. Store in a jar or ziplock. You can add flour to the rest of the 5 gallon bucket and use it for making baseball size chum and more bait. This makes ALOT of bait. Take a ziplock with with flour in it to harden if it gets to soft.

So the bait I made didn't work good- then again NOTHING worked good for me. I had a horrible trip lol.
I'm guessing this bait would have done better if I was near fish :p

It stayed together really well, kept consistency and stayed on the hook great though.

Everbody has them days, keep puttin it out there theyll hit it, since I traided boats I think the one Ive got is jinxed, every trip with it people all around catchin um but me, gonna have to do an exorcism lol

try catfish charlie it works fair foe off the shelf
