Earlier this week I mentioned the troubles I had while fishing and how the catfish seemed to be smarter than me. Dwight H. sent me a note that I much appreciate and thought I would share. It said:
An old trick my pop taught me was to snag a old pair of panty hose, drop a chunk of chicken liver in, squeeze it to the bottom and tie two over hand knots close together. Cut between the knots, and repeat tying two knots after each piece of liver.
The nylon in the hose makes it very difficult for the catfish to get the bait off the hook and it didn’t appear to hurt their appetite.
Good luck and thanks for all the content, Dwight
Much thanks Dwight. I know they prefer the liver far more than the gizzards so will be trying your tip next go-round
