@@PalmettoCats new to this style of fishing do you have any videos or suggestions on how to rig up something for bank fishing. For catfish I’m in Virginia.
I tried this experiment this year myself with Tropical punch,black cherry,strawberry,and lemon-lime powder Gatorade.We caught fish on all of them but the black cherry was the killer that day.My fishing buddy caught a 25 pound gar on the gatorade.And it worked very well in 3 separate lakes.Awesome video!!
Started watching the different catfish you tubers couple months ago and amazed that most never heard of using chicken. I was taught as a youngster to use chicken for catfish in the 70s
chicken is one of those baits that are hit or miss around my area. I had always heard of using chicken with WD40, but I know the WD40 was a myth. Now, I have friends that ALWAYS have chicken on the boat when they fish.
For the folks that are having trouble keeping the chicken breast on the hook when casting hard, try boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut up the same and marinated as you wish. Much tougher and stays on the hook well.
Have also used roe bags to contain chicken and/or livers, popping the hook all the way through one side, turning it, then burying in the roe-bag encased bait...
I use chicken all the time in any flavor that is red. If you mix some curing salt with it the chicken will toughen up. A few fresh shrimp put in a blender with a quarter cup of oil is a good sauce to let them soak in. Can also use sardines instead of the shrimp. Gives the chicken a very fishy smell. Its the only bait I use. Cheap and simple.
I had the pleasure of fishin with him he was a blast he definitely A vast source of information hes tearin them up at watts bar lake im down with back surgery so im at home watchin yall fish lol
I done very well at Chickamauga,Parksville,and Tellico doing the same experiment back in the summer.The Chick is full of nice channel cats.I hope your back is feeling better brother.
If I use raw chicken breast and do the Jell-O method we just just put it in strawberry jelo do you think I should add garlic salt to it I’m using it for catfish bait
Hey man, great video! New fan here. I wanted to let you know about some success my friends and I have had all season with a modified version of this bait. Pork! We were using chicken and kool-aid, but since we did a lot of shore fishing and really whipped the bait out there we'd lose a lot of bait. We switched to pork instead (Bought whole cheap pork roasts and cut them up) and not only does it stay on our hook (even after catching fish), we feel like they bite just as much if not more! Pork is our magic bait! One last thing we did was switch to jello powder instead of kool-aid powder. the Jello coagulates a bit more and makes for a nice bait. Hope you try it out one day, cheers!
@@PalmettoCats I have caught blue catfish on raw shrimp that was not shelled. I wonder if raw shrimp ( shelled ) with the Kool Aid treatment would appeal to them. I am going to try it and see.
If the wife and I are just going out on the lake to hang out, I always put out a couple rods out with chicken marinated in garlic. We've never not caught fish on it, and you don't have the lingering smell of fish on your hands or in your beer cooler all day!!! Good video!! Tightlines!!!!
I use cherry Kool-Aid and jello mixed the jello just like on the box and cut the chicken in about 2 inch squares and put it in a bowl and let it set over night and you are ready to go
That was a sweet triple hook up brother...Ive used the Cherry but hadn't done others...Think I'll have to do a similar koolaid color challenge for my channel.. Tight Lines.... Stay HUMBLE, Stay HUNGRY, Stay FOCUSED..~Jarhead Catfishing
Yes, depending on your waters, it may even be unsafe for some to eat them. We have clean waters, thankfully, but if I kept everyone I caught I would have to buy a few more freezers. Haha
I believed that you would because my bestfriend and I always use chicken. We just hadn't used coolaid chicken before but I'm going to buy me some coolaid today for our next trip.
Kevin, we use chicken when we have no sun fish or shad. We've managed to catch some respectable size blue cats on raw chicken breast when water temps are higher. This does not seem to work as well when the water temps go below 70F🌡I think it has something to do with the reduced scent being released in the colder water temps. As always, nice job. Keep up the good work and GROW THE SHOW!
If you need a net man one of these days you let me know! We just fished down there this past weekend. Only live a couple hours away, and would love to hang out! Love these videos...
Great video! I been catchin them up on strawberry Jello chicken for years. It works great. I fish bushy park area and have caught some beasts on jello chicken. Even caught a few big redfish on it! In the fall 25-30’ with chicken rods and fresh cut mullet for the reds. Cooper is awesome river. 40lbs cats and 30 + inch reds same spot.
@@PalmettoCats I have the perfect catfish hole with huge catfish in it. Some as big as 35-40lbs. There are probably larger ones in there however no one has been able to bring them in.
You should Richard. It's really popular to drag backwards with pontoons. It takes a little more work, but if you have a couple of drift socks and/or a good trolling motor, it's a little easier to manage.
I always use at least one rod with koolaid chicken. Ive seen fish right past live blue, and cut bluegill to eat the chicken. Only thing i do differently is i cut mine before adding the koolaid, seems to toughen it up.
Im take chicken breast, garlic powder, strawberry kool-aid, and i soak it in vegetable oil instead of water so the oil repels the water and lasts longer.Also porkchops work well for bait too.
I started using jello on some old pork sausage left over from camping trip, it's as good as live or cut bait, but I still love throwing cast net, it's fishing,
WOW what a day on the water. You may want to send this video to Kool Aid. They might sponsor you. Opens them up to a whole new demographic. Maybe a new AD campaign. - Kool Aid, Its not just for kids anymore!
What, No strawberry? That's what I have used as a grocery store bait from time to time.... You know they like Strawberry better. Great job. Always enjoy the videos.
Very interesting video. Looks like chicken is going to take fish’s place for bait. At least for blues and channels. I wonder if the tartness of the koolaid makes a difference. Grape seems to be a little less tart than the others. Lemon was killing it. Great video.
I can't catch anything on coolaid chicken or coolaid hotdogs. Now shrimp in vanilla extract and live worms catch me catfish every time I use em. Never caught in kool-aid bait.
It doesn't work everywhere apparently. I've had people tell me they've never had luck and some that are very lucky with it. I'd say use what works! Thanks for watching.
Makes me just want to be there to help take those fish off the hooks!! I LOVE to fish and ive got some old chicken in my freezer gonna thaw it out and give this a try
4 fish on at the same time is a good problem to have.
Indeed!!

ALL IN oh ok! Yeah, I’ve heard of the black river. I want to try Wylie

Who would have thought. I have used strawberry but I gotta try that Lemon 🍋
Great video and great catches!!!👍

If I use raw chicken breast and do the Jell-O method we just just put it in strawberry jelo do you think I should add garlic salt to it I’m using it for catfish bait
I don’t think it matters. Since this video,
I’ve caught them on just plain chicken.

I know right! Crazy!
Chickens been my go to bait for channels for a couple years now but never had any luck on any flavors other than raw. Good day out there!!
Thank you Mike, I was surprised myself.
First time watching your channel… love it! I used Cherry Chicken last night caught 2 on it- it works! Keep em good. Mid Tennessee is on board. Be safe
Awesome! Welcome Terry!
This video shows a great day fishing. Bam bam bam.
Thanks Tom!

Well thank you Rav!
Gotta try it
you can use all flavor of cool aid and jello it dont matter its just a little spice to the chicken the key is chicken catfish love chicken!!
I agree
Man, you threw back a lot of great meals. Good fishing action.
I know!! Haha
Some of us dont like to keep them. Some of us throw everything back in and just go to the store to buy some there
Yes, depending on your waters, it may even be unsafe for some to eat them. We have clean waters, thankfully, but if I kept everyone I caught I would have to buy a few more freezers. Haha
if everybody keeps them all then how will they produce more so there's food and fishing for my grandkids
Kevin that was an awesome video, Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looked like you had a blast.
I really did!!
I like Chicken, Kool-Aid and Catfish! WIN WIN WIN! Happy fishing buddy!
hahaha, thanks buddy. It was a fun one to make!
The big ones are a little to the left lol , great episode keep them coming
Fishing and Gear Outdoor Entertainment haha thanks!
I believed that you would because my bestfriend and I always use chicken. We just hadn't used coolaid chicken before but I'm going to buy me some coolaid today for our next trip.
Haha, don’t buy the grape!! Good luck!
I would have been tires and sore for like a few days after a trip like that lol. Nice video.
Haha 😂 thank you Glen!
Nice test and catching.
JP Slayer Racing thank you
Man I wish I could get the net! Someday down the road we will fish together. That's a promise.
Michael Murillo can’t wait my friend!

David Ray that seems like a plausible Theory, This is the first time I’ve ever tried it. Thank you for your support
Might it be that because at lower temperatures cold-blooded critters metabolism slows way down, and larger bait would take too long to digest?
Could be
If you need a net man one of these days you let me know! We just fished down there this past weekend. Only live a couple hours away, and would love to hang out! Love these videos...
We were catching them pretty decent on cherry jello hotdogs and cherry jello chicken livers.
Nice! Never tried hot dogs, but the livers are ready to go soon.
Thm cats wr keepn u busy. Thank u 4 shown the different flavors.
No problem!

Thank you Mike!
I've been using it next to chicken liver. 3 fish on chicken 107 fish on chicken liver. I've made my choice on my favorite bait.
Catfish love that chicken! Why I always fish with it no matter what bait I have, chicken liver is in my cooler every trip!
Yeah man! It'll be in my cooler from now on, especially when I need eaters.

Awesome! I hope it works for you!
Scent and texture!!!
For sure!

Looks like that cool aid really spreads the scent out in the water fast
Looks like it!

I'm gonna try it this weekend
good luck
lol were you just singing that song.. too funny.. lol
Lol
Trying this tomorrow for a loca fishing derby with my kids. Using chicken gizzards instead. Cheaper and they stay on the hook.
Good luck!
Nice content I've used just chicken by it self and had success but I'm going to try it out I bet you such a fun time
It was awesome!!
@@PalmettoCats I could tell brother just subscribe to your channel keep up the great content 👍

Que buen video... pero donde estan los amigos pescadores todo ese equipo para uno es medio triste 👍
Gracias por ver mis videos. Mire todo los otros videos para obtener más peces, consejos y diversión.
I think fishing in stocked lakes is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel... it's to easy.....im going to try it though
Not sure what you’re inferring. Santee Cooper was stocked with blue catfish over 50 years ago. Since then, it’s been self-sustained. Good luck.
I've tried strawberry no good now I'm trying lemon make me a believer.
lol good luck!
