Catfish are known to be opportunistic feeders, so a variety of baits can be effective. Some of the best baits for catching catfish include live bait such as nightcrawlers, minnows, and crawfish. Additionally, stink baits like chicken liver, shrimp, or commercial catfish baits can also be very successful. Cut baits such as cut shad, herring, or even hot dogs can attract catfish as well. It's essential to consider the size and species of catfish you are targeting when choosing your bait.
