johnhere Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Their is no such thing as "The Best Bait" for any fish. Cats will eat anything. I think its fair to say live baiting produce a lot of Cats (and you wont get troubled by Carp). John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishski Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Fresh Eel/fish sections; halibut pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boismande Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 We had an angler on our lake desperate to catch his first cat after trying all the usual baits (halibut pellet etc) he put a bit of leftover pork on the hair, 10 mins later he was into a 40lber. The following morning he saved a sausage from breakfast and caught on that. He had 4 cats in total all on pork. But as a rule, if cats are hungry they will eat anything/everything.

nathanhuynh Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanksdunno about france but in st jhons a load of 3 massive drilled stink pellets popped up with a big bit of cork worked. I heard that live crucian carp is supposed to be good because they move alot. (that and that they drive me insane at tockenham resi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefishmike Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 My local water is the Ebro and I used to fish for cats a lot. In the "good old days" we used a carp live-bait of 3 to 4 lbs, an eel or a bunch of bleak (a Christmas Tree). Then live baits were banned and we found that a trout or any sea-fish worked well. These days most guys fish with 50 mm halibut pellets, a string of 6 or 8, popped up; sometimes a large squid, a piece of liver or chicken guts. Like JohnHere says "Cats will eat anything". Worth remembering if you float fish with a large live or deadbait, cats attack from below and behind, not like pike who take sideways and turn to swallow head-first. Consequently the hook - best a BIG treble should be dangling from the back. Incidentally, there is never any reason to stick a hook in a live fish, especially if you put the bait out with a boat; in fact this hinders hooking.The best way is to attach them with cotton thread and a sewing needle.
