[george77]

I used shrimp the other day and caught catfish like crazy with a couple over 10lbs! Could shrimp be the best bait for catfish? Let me know

I have caught a lot of cat fish using shrimp with the shell takin off mostly channel cats it's my favorite
bait for cats.

I hadn't thought of that before, but it makes sense...since their fresh water cousins get eaten by cats.

Nice first post George. Welcome to the forum.

What kind of shrimp works best? Last year I tried some cock tale shrimp in a pond known for channels and only had one bite.

Medium size like 40 per lbs uncooked.

So, how do you prepare them in your kitchen--so the cats will devour them?

Sorry, but that door was wide open!!! :lol:
