How Do I Choose The Right Catfishing Baits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
There is such a large number of catfishing baits available choosing the correct one is difficult. You must know what type of catfish is in the water you intend to fish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if there is more than one you must decide which type you're after. Make sure you know the feeding habits of the catfish you want to catch. Below I have tried to answer these questions to help you make your decision.
The different species of catfish have different tastes and preferences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the big three Catfish of the USA use the same range of senses to track down their prey. All catfish rely heavily on their very keen sense of smell to locate food,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], particularly if the water is cloudy as in times of flood etc. But they are not totally reliant on scent (in fact the Flathead catfish does prefer to use sight where possible). They also use the sensory cells in their whiskers to search the mud for food. They will use their acute hearing to spot food, but mainly use this sense to detect danger.
Catfish are more active after nightfall in searching for food and will feed at all depths. They search the shallows for food something they never do during the day. In the day they remain in the deeper waters hiding in secluded dens and lairs in bank holes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], undercut banks, fallen trees and large rock obstructions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they will still feed if presented with an easy meal.
The Flathead Catfish feed primarily on live fish and the best baits to use are live baits; shad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], chub and others. However lures that imitate live fish will also be successful if used correctly. Occasionally cut or prepared baits will be productive. The Flathead is far more predatory than most other catfish and are primarily hunters. At night they will feed in the shallows and hunt in groups with a particular liking of bass,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shad, crayfish and they also feed on other catfish. Due to their reputation as a game fish and their culinary qualities they have been introduced throughout the US and in many areas are now regarded as an invasive species destroying large populations of the local fish.
The Blue Catfish will eat a much wider variety of foods and are more reliant on their sense of smell for locating food. So you can use cut baits and stink baits to catch the big Blues who will be feeding at most times but normally on the bed of deeper waters though they will move up when they scent food. They take most fish and aquatic insects regardless of size,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but are a very wary fish.
The Channel Catfish is the true omnivore and will eat almost anything it can get in its mouth. They eat insects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], larvae,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], crayfish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], molluscs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], crustaceans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], worms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fish dead or alive and even fruit and berries. They search the bed of the water for food the majority of the time but are far more active at night. Scavengers they eat carrion although it is not their food of choice.
