Game Bait

Using the catfish bait on the Mississippi River
Of course there are many different types of bait can be used to catch catfish in the Mississippi River. Think for a minute what is normally a catfish can eat in this habitat. The options are many, the Mississippi River contains a diverse habitat for fish and other fodder for catfish to feed.
Live fish would be my first choice of bait to use. Any type of live fish will do, but I like to follow two principles when select live bait. First choose a fish that is available, or better still abundant in the body of water that are fishing. The resistant white sucker inhabiting much of the North Mississippi is a bait much better in Minnesota than it would be in Mississippi, for example. Southern Mississippi Fishing the river a large magnitude can chub make a better decision. I like to take my own bait when the fish of the River. Using a tent seine, cast net or bait trap the little I know I take the bait will be matched to the available forage. Not sure to consult state law in which fishing. Different states have different laws regarding the use of each of these items.
You can fish live bait in several different ways. Sometimes I like to suspend my bait in a cork and threw it into the water and let the movement current from one place to another. This works best in the pool sections of the river where the current is not so fast. If the current is too fast is not a good idea as a dog the north are a bit slow and not hitting the bait moving with the same ferocity that many other game fish. As the current gets faster you need to put and keep the bait on the river bottom. This course is conducted using a ballast of lead. You must use a lead that was big enough to hold bait in one place without moving. You must select a weight that allows you to put your line through it so the fish does not feel natural weight, and that samples online.
A key concept to consider is the hook set. It is necessary to allow time for fish to take the bait deep into her mouth. After clinging to the fish a catfish will be placed in the mouth so you can swallow the head.
Finally there is a setting I like to do live fish when used for
bait for catfish. I like to cut a small portion of the tail. This accomplishes two goals. First, it gives the fish an erratic swimming motion signals his quarry is a wounded fish in the area. Looking for an easy meal of catfish are more likely to strike wounded fish. Secondly, it produces a small amount blood to enter the water. Catfish have an excellent sense of smell and can detect changes in water as small as three parts per million.
