Does anybody here make their own bait?
catfish bait
Ingredients:
4 bars of Ivory soap (Family size)
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of water
sheet of wax paper or aluminum foil
Preparation:
In a small pot, combine sugar and water and dissolve. Shave soap into the water mixture and heat over a low fire. Stir until soap is melted. Pour soap mixture onto paper and pat with wet hands to avoid burning and soap from sticking. Pat soap into flatten mass approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut into cubes while soap is warm and place in an air tight container or zip-lock bag to retain moisture. DO NOT LET SOAP COOOL BEFORE CUTTING - IT WILL BECOME BRITTLE! Soap bait will be pliable and easy to use either with single or treble hooks.
