catfish punch bait

what the best punch bait or who makes the best ! im looking to buy at least 5 gallons

Stubby's...it ant punch bait...much better...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this

i knew u'd pitch in...put the Stubby's info on here for the guy so he can order a couple of tubs

Stubby is a rough bait and a darn good one. For lunch bait I really like Sure Shot

tried stubby catfish want hit it ..

SURE SHOT !!!!!!!

Tried em all, IMO, the best.

Then you weren’t anywhere near fish

Brother you're one tough man.

Catfish won’t hit Stubby’s ? News to me ! That’s a three person limit from 7:30 AM until 11:30 AM !

I wanna go with that guy Drycreek!

Give cjs a try, really stays on hook well and cats love it

He’s available except on ice cream weekend !

Without a doubt, Stubbys is the best I have ever used.

Lol!

Want to test punch bait? Try doing it over unbaited water, in an area not baited with milo or range cubes. If it pulls fish to it it will work any where their are fish. Sometimes you just can't fish a baited hole. That's when you need one that pulls them in. Stubbys works great on baited holes, Big Marv's is my go to bait for everywhere.

We fish nonbaited holes often with Stubby’s. Never have trouble catching fish. Fishing non baited areas is one way we find new spots. I agree, nearly anything will work on a baited hole. BUT, since the original question is about punch bait, I don’t have an answer. I will stick with the dough bait and still help as many people as I can become better fisherman regardless of what bait they choose. As I have tried to do for several years now.

i wooda bet $$$ that u had baited holes Littlewheel...STUBBY'S is better bait than i dreamed of since you ketch all those in NON-baited holes...Daddy always cheated with soured wheat in Lake Kemp

I don’t always fish non baited holes. Never said I did. We fish baited holes also. I said that when we go looking for new spots, we never have trouble catching fish. Those spots we fish when scouting are not baited. Just simply saying that we catch fish on baited and non baited holes with Stubby’s.

Sure Shot works just fine for me. I'm not purist enough to punch bait fish without chum

Channel cats are like Sand Bass, if I'm doing it, its for someone that wants to catch them or I'm after a 3 digit fish day give me all the chum.

Another vote for Stubbys! Also, the dang Labrador will eat half a jug and smell like satans hind end if you leave it on the counter. Ask me how I know!

I want to thank all you guys for using stubbys cheese bait

i see everyone that likes stubby are from lake fork just supporting your locale Guide witch is good where the other lakes that will give a real true report ? just asking !

nope, i fish for cats on Lake Murvaul and ketch'm off my fishin' dock in 4 ft water...

We have guides on Lake Fork, Lake O’The Pines, Lake Palestine, Lake Lewisville,Ray Roberts ,and Lake Tawakoni that use our bait. We have it in over 40 stores in East Texas and ship bait to 14 different states. And yes , we do appreciate all the support from the local fisherman!

Why do you recommend no weight with the stubbys?

Because the bait is dense enough for it to go to the bottom without a weight. And, you can feel the bite a lot better without weight. I use 1/8 oz steel egg sinkers occasionally when the wind is high.

well I guess I will it aign I have no hope for the stuff ! it hasent made me a beliver yet !

I've tried them all and they all catch fish if the fish bite it. Right now I have Sure Shot, Danny Kings, CJ's, ChemDawg, and a couple more. If you want a dip bait, Bill's and Sonny's are good. It depends on where you fish as to what is recommended. South Texas is Marv's country, Central Texas seems to Be CJ's country, North Texas is Sure Shot, and Lake Fork is Stubby's. You said you wanted 5 gallons. That's a lot of bait. Anyway, good luck in what ever you choose.

Danny kings or cjs

I use a bait called Pafford's Punch Bait. The stuff is amazing! I have used many baits and it is by far my favorite. I have caught as many as 5 different fish after having baited the hook just once.
The stuff stays on the hook so well. However, I don't just dip it in and throw it out. After I daub it I then use my fingers to ball it up around the hook. Yes its nasty but I have a whole lake full of water right in front of me and always have a rag. Personallly if you don't want to get a little messy then I feel catfishing may not be the best form of fishing for you. You guys mention fishing baited holes. I'm not sure what you actually mean.
Is a baited hole one that you have prebaited or just one you threw some chum out. I usually throw some chum out but I have never prebaited anything. Most days once I start fishing a place I never move and will almost always have a limit by 10. I have used this bait 3 different times when I didn't have chum and while it took a little longer to get the fish going, once they got turned on I filled the boat up.
I know there are many good baits and pics don't lie. Stubby's is an awesome bait but I personally prefer Pafford's Punch Bait. James is making a trip to Emory next weekend so if any of you may be interested in contacting him his number is 325 647 2258. Good luck fishing everyone.

Just googled for it and no luck; must be very new on the market; what is it make of?

CJS really stays well on the hook in hot weather, its my number 1 bait

I believe James just makes it behind his house but not on a huge scale.He told me it was a recipe his dad came up with and he just continued it on the side. The base is cheese but it has shad and shrimp and a lot of other stuff ground up in it. The binding agent is cattails. The stuff reeks pretty bad but it so dang effective. I’m picking up a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff this coming weekend.

sounds like a great bait with all those ingredients

Stubby's has never let me down!!

Just talked with James and hes down Thursday, be back in Fall on Fork and Jan he'll be at Pines'

well it has me sorry !

The best bait is the one you have confidence in. There are lots of good punch baits. Some stay on the hook better than others.

well I found a bait that catching catfish and it not stubby ! It new on the market ! pm me and Ill tell you what it is !!! you can cast it !!! WILL stay onn your hook !!!

I used Stubby's this summer for the first time. I just got a second bucket! It kicked tail on Tawakoni.

Yes Sir we have stubby's in Maud Texas

I've used Stubby's on Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers and it worked excellent on both lakes.

Come fish with me this spring .And I'll see what we can do .

Questions for ya.

1) is there a shelf life on opened and unopened containers?
2) don't seem to be able to get the bait deep enough in tawakoni over by the dam area
Or is this more of a shallow bait.

Fork

Come on

I fish it in 45 t0 50 in other lakes.There are a lot of guys fish it on twk .should be no problem

Make sure you are using braided line. Mono floats . You may also try a little weight

Thanks for heads up. I think I am running braid but a fluorocarbon leader.
I'll double check next time I'm out there.

You are right on!
South Texas is Marv's country and the bait works down here!
I've used them all, and they are all fine baits, but I always go back to Marv's, so maybe it's those jalapeno peppers he puts in the bait?

Over a good baited hole just about any good punch bait will work. I primarily use Mr Whiskers, but it's mainly what ever is available, I've had good results with all the previous mentioned. Baiting the right spot wit the right bait will fill a ice chest with good eaters.

Fork or any place .lots of lakes

I/ve loaded the boat on CC & RC with Stubbys many times

good Question

I remember Danny King's old recipe...................that was some heavy mixture of cat tails and man did it stay on the hook. I like chicken livers on ice too
