If anyone wants to make Catfish bait that attracts them like crazy, I used to hear that certain baits were illegal, but I am looking now and I think they are only illegal for commercial companies to sell because online it is talking about how people sell recipes. And I can understand why people would buy them because the stuff you buy at the store is all weird plastic squishy bead looking things and stuff like that.
So here is how to make some Catfish bait.
1 Lb of Chicken Liver that has been left to sit in the sun for a while
1 Head of Garlic, smashed
1 Package of Hotdogs, put through a Blender if you can
1 Can of Corn
1 Loaf of Bread ripped up, the other ingredients are poured over the bread
1 Cup of Flour
Leave this in the sun in a bucket with a lid. Something like a 5 Gallon Bucket which you can get at a Hardware store. Once it is done it will stink like shit, and you should be able to put it on one of those hooks that has a bunch of hooks.
This is a Bamboo Pole, it is the most simple Fishing pole in the world.

And you can also tie a Fishing String to a Tree or something, and let the hook in the water with a Bobber, and then you can come back in the morning or whenever and see if anything is on the hook or if they got away with it, because sometimes the fish just suck it off and don't get hooked.
