Last weekend at about 10PM on Sunday night my wife told me she wanted to take the kids and head for the lake in the morning. Furthermore I was told that we were going to take the jet ski. No problem I love to have my family with me at the lake but….NO BOAT and NO CATFISH BAIT. I decided not to worry about it I would make something in the morning. After all I did publish a catfish bait book.

We got up at 7am and I got the truck loaded with all the accessories, chairs, gazebo, water toys, fishing gear etc.. I thought I was in good shape time wise but Marlen told me we had to go pick up her niece. I had 15 minutes to put together my bait. Now I had a choice to make.

Take the ingredients to make baits at the lake or make something easy right then. I figured i wouldn’t have more than a couple of hours fishing before the kids wanted me to take them on the jet ski so I decided to make something quick now. Here is the recipe for what I made and how I put it together.

Ingredients

Wheaties (you can use any corn flake type cereal, I just have always used Wheaties)
Garlic Salt

Get a large bowl and pur the wheaties in. Add a liberal amount of garlic salt and then crush the Wheaties. Add a little bit of water at a time until you have a paste. it should be very sticky. If done right you can put it on any type of hook and it will stay there. Put in a plastic bag and your ready to go.

Now I am going to brag a little bit. When we got to the lake and after everything was unloaded it was 9am and I was ready to get a couple of lines in the water. We had a picnic table not more than 30 feet from the water and I took my gear to the shore. I baited the first pole and cast it out. Before I could even get the other pole baited and in the water I had a hit on the first pole and I got him. A 2-3 pound channel, but a very good omen.

To make a long story short I caught 3 more all in the first 45 minutes I was fishing. I spent about an hour and a half fishing and did not catch any more but we had more than enough to grill for lunch. I also to be honest with you. I have fished the same spot many times and wheaties always seems to perform well so choosing the right catfish bait to make was easier than it would have been in a new location.

Had I been planning to spend more time fishing I would have taken more baits with me or ingrediets to make more if needed. You increase your chances of having the bait they are looking for if you have some variety.

Good luck on your next outing. Visit Catfish Bait Recipes to get more great homemade catfish baits.
