One of the best catfish bait for blue catfish and channel catfish is what is commonly called cutbait. Dead bait is also categorized as cutbait and either one of these types of catfish bait work great to catch a mess of good eating size catfish.

One of the most common dead baits that many catfish anglers use are creek chubs. You can hook creek chubs as a dead bait or cut them up and use them as cut bait. There are many methods you could use to fish creek chubs and one excellent method used to fish them dead and whole is to thread them. To thread your creek chub tie a your fishing line to a bait needle then push it through the mouth and out the side near the tail. Next pull the need all the way through until you have enough slack to tie on a treble hook. After you have tied on the treble pull the fishing line back until you impel one of the barbs into the flesh. Let the other two hooks exposed.

Another way to use bait fish as catfish bait is by using what is called plug-cut bait fish. Plug cutting is when you cut the head off of a bait fish such as a creek chub at an angle.then then gut the bait fish. You want to hook your plug cut bait fish such as a creek chub with a fishing rig that is called a mooching fishing rig. The first thing you want to do with your mooching rig is push the back hook through the body and out the side. Next push the front hook through the back so it pierces the backbone and adjust the hook to take up some but not all of the slack. A mooching fishing rig works best for drift fishing or a very slow troll where you want your catfish bait to roll. A mooching fishing rig is a excellent way to catch so catfish especially in a shallow lake where drift fishing is common.

Another catfish bait that works great to catch blue catfish or channel catfish is using shad cut into chunks. Get you a large shad and cut it into 1 to 2 wide chunks. Use a 4/0 to 5/0 hook. Push the hook through the back portion of the chunk and leave plenty of hook exposed. You can also fish with skipjack herring and other oily fish the same way.
