My son uses liver when he goes catfishing. Seems to work b/c he comes home and we have a fish fry.

I don't do much fishing anymore. When I did,, my choice was worms.
I also used corn, and doughballs for carp. Yes,, I'm in that small minority that eat carp.
Now, I just take the grandchildren to the local pond, and "catch-n-release"
The fish are generally small.
I remove the barb from the hooks, so they are easy to remove, and do not cause much injury to fish.
I know that the fish do not die after such catching,,, because I used to bring some home, and keep in my aquarium. When they grew too big, I took back to pond/river and released.

I use liver for catfish also. BEST CHOICE
Wild caught catfish, and bullheads are good eating. I do not like farm raised catfish from stores. They seem to have too much FAT in the flesh for me.

I don’t fish now, but when I did as a child I always liked using those fancy lures from the store.

 

[ShrekDawg]

No, I don't catch carp. Or eat them. They are garbage fish. Then again, I don't really eat fish at all. I like cod and my brother in law's walleye. That's it. Not a seafood fan

Me neither. And people are always like “YOU LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND HATE SEAFOOD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!” And I’m always just like yes. Yes I do.

 

[ShrekDawg]

About all I’ll eat is tuna salad and even that is meh now. I like chicken salad better LOL I also used to like fish sticks but I got them again once a couple years ago after not having them for forever and… way too fishy tasting. LOL

 

[ShrekDawg]

I used to eat the striper and sometimes bluefish as a kid but now no way.

Lures usually.

Liver or cut bait for catfish, worms or spinners for fresh water.
Herring for ocean, and chicken for crab and crawdads.
Beer or whiskey to keep the skeeters away.

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

Worms! Preferably nightcrawlers.
