well, this post should appeal to all those strict environmentalists out there, but DAVE DAVIDSON, when i really want to catch a catchfish, and nothing else works, i spray....just a touch...of WD-40 on whatever bait (especially chicken liver or gizzards) i'm using. not slick 50, but WD-40!! no kidding. but just a touch of it!
also, i don't allow any minnows to be used for fishing in my pond, unless they are fathead minnows. now since the fathead minnow truck from the fish guy only comes every 2 months, hard to get them. my friends know this. but if i tell someone they can come over and fish with minnows, and not explain why i only allow fathead minnows, and not just "any old minnows", they may go throw net down at the creek and get who knows what and contaminate my pond! dad burn it, and we just can't allow that, can we?!!
one more thing about catching catfish. i have one of those automatic feeders that goes off 4 x a day , and all the fish just go crazy. it will really get them going. however, if you want friends over to catch fish, at least i my place, they have to be there at 7:30 am, noon, 4 pm or 7pm !!!
