having trouble catching catfish

[gxtmfa]

Yeah, go ahead and try cut bait. Use a baitcasting net, a minnow trap or a road and reel. My favorite thing to do is grab a fat old carp from the river and cut the thing up. They're invasive, so it's encouraged that you don't practice catch and release with them. You can get a carp out of a river in just about any way possible-spear, bow-and-arrow, net, snagging, or sometimes with your bare hands. Hell, those suckers might even jump on the shore in front of you. Also, since it'll be a fresh kill, the blood will have that extra edge.
