bait for Blues?

besides shad and cut buffalo anything else work for blues?

Shad



Perch

cut blue gill
cut gasper goo

cut bull head


pretty much anything that is not a game fish and is in the natural forage base is gonna be a good bait at one point or another.

Don't get caught fishing with that one It is considered a game fish in Texas.

What temp does the lake have to hit to really get the big blues to come and start really feeding?

My mistake. I knew there was no limitations on size or number but I didn't realize it was a game fish.

I understand, I really think it is a dumb law since there are no regulations on it. But what do I know

Thanks for correcting me tho.

Yellow bass is a game fish??????????????

Yessir

c-4 seems to work pretty good!!!!!!!!!! yyyyyeeeeeeehhhhaaaawwww

OOOOOOOOO I know someone that was using them for bait!!!!!! (me). Not any more. Don't like breaking the law.

What is a gasper goo? and I never catch mudcat/bull heads (don't know how/where really) so for bank fishing guess I'm stuck with shad/perch and some fiesta bought buffalo..... guess might catch buffalo but dont wanna spend one trip fishing for bait for the next trip.... too bad they don't like bologna lol

They have only been on that list for a few years. I use to catch giant bass on live ones in Lake Fork back in the day, but dont tell any of the hardcore green bait fisherman that

Gaspergoo is fresh water drum.

It's a freshwater drum

gasper goo is also called the drum.

Freshwater drum. You can catch mudcats at nearly any neighborhood park pond. Worms tightlined on the bottom.

Beat me by a sec! Chase I hope you are as fast grabbing a rod as you are typing

you beat me 2fish4everything.

yep....they got rocks in their heads you can cut out!.....cool

Thanks now I feel better

well I catch drum from time to time , cut one up a cpl times and didn't get hits on it- guess keep next drum I catch

both little ponds in Burleson are supposed to be catch n release so I'll have to find a diff. mudcat pond.

Ive caught 4 what I thought to be tiny blues on sweet corn while fishing for carp. In retrospect they may have been channels. but thats just weird either way imo.

Chisolm park has tons. I loaded up in thirty mins mon night. Use bread balls for bait

Can use soap, when I was younger I saw my grandpa using soap I thought he was crazey but it works.

The fish will be cleaner :):):)

Soap actually works and the fish will be cleaner like Sirjet said lol

My neighbor used to tell me if I fished with soap the fish would clean themselves lol

i might have to try that just to see if they do!

Dove or Irish Springs ?????????????

let's try irish springs :))

He tends to fall in his boat when he moves to fast.

Zote soap

It's the old Ivory bar soap. & thats the rest of the story !!

zote

LMAO Did he have some help??????

You're double time on my chit list!

Hurry up and go bag a buck so you can get back and talk some fish chit.

That's what I'm hoping, I'll be headin out in less then 2 hours. Hopefully I'll get me one so I don't have to go back.

cheap hot dogs

I'll show you how to fish if you'll save me a backstrap

Doing a quick read up on zote soap. Looks like people do pretty well with it on jugs and trotlines, but not very good using RR.

forget the soap and find some shad!!!!

We have some good community ponds where I am at. If I catch a mudcat will I know it? The catfish in these ponds look like channel catfish?

A mudcat is a short stumpy looking catfish usually black,brown, almost gold at times. Rarely exceed 2 lbs. Big ol head and stumpy lil body. If there are ducks being fed consistently in a pond there will be mudcats under them eating the bread

mudcats don't have forked tails like channel cats.

mudcat are usually brown with a round tail and big head

bullhead

Channel

+1, easiest way to tell is the tail....mudcats the onlly one that does not have a fork to it!

man can hardlly catch channels/blues now i gotta figure out where to catch mudcats-- need a mudcat baitshop

how bout live feeder mice from petstore--

Any creek will have bullheads. Catch mine on beef or chicken liver and a small circle hook. Sureshot will get you some blues also.
