Why do channel catfish like smelly baits?




Answers:

Do you tip fishing guides ?

While it is true that channel cats like smelly bait, the larger fish lean towards the freshly killed baits. I have always had the best luck with shad. Shad release a lot of oils and this seems to attract the fish. I have tried fishing with stinky dough baits on one pole while fishing with Shad on the other and the Shad always out fishes the dough in both size of fish and quantity.

Channel catfish are scavengers, and in our muddy brown Delta waters, so similar to the much larger, but no less cloudy Mississippi, they hunt by smell rather than sight. As mentioned previously, Catfish prefer dead, and if possible, stinking bait.
