When choosing bait for catfish fishing, it's important to consider the type of catfish you are targeting and the fishing conditions. For larger catfish species like flatheads and blues, live bait such as shad, bluegill, or crawfish can be very effective. For smaller catfish like channel catfish, prepared baits like stink baits, dough baits, or chicken livers can work well. Additionally, natural baits such as nightcrawlers, worms, or cut bait are also popular choices. Experimenting with different baits in your fishing spot can help you determine what works best. Remember to match the size of the bait to the size of the catfish you are targeting.
