Catfish chum recipe, (soured cracked corn)

Tude's Gag-A-Mag Catfish Chum Recipe

5 gallon bucket (painted black to hold heat)
8 lbs of cracked corn
1 pkg of yeast
1 can/bottle of nasty cheap beer like Bud.
Loose fitting cover for the bucket.

Combine cracked corn, yeast and beer in bucket, fill with water so it is about 2 inches over the corn mixture. Stir ingredients completely, cover loosely, set it in direct sunlight. Stir every 3 to 4 days. Don't be spooked if you have grey foam on top and maggots wiggling around. The chum is ready when you gag hard enough to pull a muscle.

Don't be a smart azz and use a tight fitting lid while "aging" the mixture. You'll be shaken when you hear an explosion and the nastiest mess in the world is now all over your house, pool, shed, mower, and neighbors dog. This stuff needs to "breath" and expand a little.

Take it to your fishing hole and scoop out a few scoops and spread it in the water where you'll be fishing. It's best to do this a day or two prior to fishing that spot but it will attract cats quickly no matter. If you have a dock, just pour a little of this in your dock feeder for a "time release effect".

I've also poured this into stockings, tying a knot in the leg and securing it to a rope to be tied off and refilled later.

This stuff works.

Faltitude my recipe is almost the same.I use wheat instead of corn though.Corn seems to take a little longer to get ripe shall wer say.Then bait hole and fish with Danny Kings or SureShot punchbait.Guaranteed freezer filler.

Kansas recipe:

soybeans covered with water, sunlight till the stuff'll gag a maggot

put the slurry in a blender (some of us find it a really good idea to buy a cheap one instead of the one from the house), add 1 table spoon vanilla (fake is ok) and one teaspoon anise per blender load.

using dish washing gloves mix with whole wheat flour to form a doughball

use some unblended beans to bait the hole

some people just bait their hooks with whole beans instead of the doughball, use a light hook or treble hook

Did I ever tell you that my cousins and I used to make a game out of "find where grandpa hid the bottle"? We would search all over the garage until we found it. Didn't dare take a drink though. It was more fun to eat all his chocolate he had in the freezer. :devil:

South Carolina Catfish Magnet

4 gallons of Chicken Blood from the local prcessing plant
Beef blood will work also, but not as good
1-5 gallon plastic bucket
1 brick
5 boxes of sure-jell


Put the chicken blood in the bucket. Throw in the brick, then let it sit in the hot sun for a day with the lid cracked a little. Oh, I forgot... Pour in the sure-jell, stir it up good first. The next day before you go fishing, poke holes in the bucket. I prefer to shoot it a couple times with 12 ga #4.

Then tie a rope to the handle and lower the bucket into the water wher you are fishing. It will attract cats within 1 hour and it will last for a few days.
