of some mock fish I used to make. It's not healthy at all but it tastes good
and is easier than catching catfish and cheaper than buying it at the store.

I'd just get a package of fish fry crumbs and after marinating the firm or
extra firm tofu in soy and teriyaki sauce, I'd roll them in the fish fry mix
and then fry them in oil.

When I was eating them I'd dip them in ketchup. It was pretty good.

What's hard about catching catfish?! Make a dough bait out of Cheerios, peanut
butter, and just enough water to make it pliable but still tacky and sticky.
Ball it up on a hook and cast in a good catfish hole. Works every time.

Healthier version: spray the breaded tofu with non-stick spray and bake.

Rotten chicken livers work great too. I used to buy them the day before
and tie the bag up in a tree and let them rot in the sun all day. By
nightfall, they stunk so bad, but the catfish loved em.

I've tried livers, too, but I've found that catfish hit sweeter, oily baits at
least as often as (if not more than) they'll hit at stink baits. The best part
about using cereal, peanut butter, sweeteners, etc., is not smelling like you
have a nasty yeast infection after going fishing. It's much more pleasant to use.

I haven't heard of anyone using corn syrup, but I know some catfishermen who
swear by Wheaties and the cheapest, greasiest hamburger meat they can find. I
think anything doughy (cereal, etc.), sweet (from the cereal or from corn syrup
as you suggest), and oily (peanut butter, hamburger, etc.) should do the trick.

They're really nothing more than dried bread crumbs, crumbled finely. You
can buy a can of them at any supermarket.

I kinda always liked the stink. The sweet stuff does work as well, but
with the livers...we used to put a couple of pounds in a burlap sack or a
sock, then throw it in the water with a float tied to it. Then we can see
when they start hitting.

There are mixes you can buy either in the seafood section or in one aisles.
If you can't find them then just use corn meal.

Corn flour -- masa harina -- works much better (which is why it's used in fish
fry mixes).
