Well, the last recipe didn’t exactly work. We were fishing faster water than normal, and the bait seemed to be disappearing from the hair rigs pretty quickly. We switched over to a powerbait liver and started getting strikes. I might need to adjust the hair rigs a little bit too though and try different keepers. I’ve been using the plastic bar-bell type keepers from fishing store, but I think they are pulling through on the hair-rig. I might try a piece of yarn and see if that works a little better.
Tonight we are heading out again and going to try the ol’ garlic hotdog method. This one’s a pretty simple and tried and true catfish bait…
2 cans of vienna sausage coctail weiners (or plain old hotdogs cut up into cubes)
about 5 tablespoons of garlic salt
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
* tablespoon of Anise is optional
Basically…take the hot dogs and put them in a mason jar, add 1/2 the powdered garlic salt and the minced garlic and shake for 2 minutes. Then add the rest of the powder and garlic, and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
You can hair-rig these, thread them on the hook, or thread them on the leader, and they should stay on.
