I'm going fishing Thursday and trying to go after some decent sized catfish. Iv used a lot of baits like chicken liver, shrimp, home made dough balls, sardines, even soap! And many others. I want to know what your favorite bait/rig for catfish is that is consistent in its results. Let me hear someone your favorite baits.
 
Nightcrawlers are my favorite catfish bait. I use a two hook bottom rig and a 1/2 or one oz weight sometimes more depending on the current. Chicken livers in panty hos and cut bait works really well. Hooking two hooks through the back of a blue gill and let him run is a good way to get a monster.

I like my little stinkers catfish bait. Its like a jar of this terrible smelling chicken liver scent. I usually just take a nightcrawler and let it get real stinky in the bait then I use that nightcrawler. Cutbait is also great

I am your man.

Where are you fishing?, I see your from Maryland. Been to quite a few different waters around here. What kind did you want to target?
 
I was hopin someone from Maryland would see this. I'm fishing at Fort. Smallwood park. I plan on targeting the big channel cats down there.
 
I never tried it but I seen on tv that raw onions work.

Nightcrawlers, smelts or hooligans, cisco and cutbait will catch more catfish.
