bait

[sourland]

Jelly beans (multi colored), licorice strips (red and black), pepper strips (red and yellow), mozzarella cheese, pinto beans, kidney beans, baby carrots, squash strips (yellow, green, red), Cheer-i-os (coat with crazy glue before using), M & M's (not the green-they don't work), Peanuts (shelled-non salted), cashews (honey roasted), bologna strips, bacon (non cooked turkey works best)---All can be very effective baits when fished properly at the right time of day.

Get some shad minnows, & soak them in transmission fluid. That's the best bait I've ever put on a trot line. It will attract the BIG catfish!
