This is awesome! This needs WAY more views!!!! I'm just getting into fishing and can't get behind the idea of throwing plastics in the water. Not just the pollution but the lost bits will get eaten by fish and birds and kill them. Just seems about as stupid as can be. So I'm going deep, trying to find recipes that work and hold up reasonably well enough to be used. Otherwise, I'll just start a worm farm and go with nightcrawlers. Just a suggestion; you might try mixing in corn flour instead and adding garlic powder or some fish oil. (Can use the gel caps you take as a vitamin. Just prick them with a pin and squeeze the oil out). Much cheaper than the store bought scents. Thanks for your video!
I used the red Gulp worms the first time in Summer of 2022 and they work real good. I had to drive 35 miles one way to get them. After that I ordered them on line. Thanks for the recipe. I keep almost every blue gill for catfish bait. Gulp makes catfish bait, too. I have some, but havent yet fished with it.
@@fishingmisty I received a small package earlier this week. What I got looks red like short weiners and maybe an inch long. Just now I typed in my browser search bar Amazon Catfish Bait. The first amazon page that came up shows a few different types of C F bait. I havent seen any of those in my local stores. I'll hopefully try it the first time in a few days. Some YTers don't like people including links in comments or replies, but it's easy to find as noted. Bless you.
I have used the torn up plastic bass worms and quartered them lengthwise then cut them into about 1" lengths julian style and caught plenty of bream. with the same one bait.
I like a small motorcycle as alternative transport. Electric bikes are great too. I love Toyota and Suzuki four wheelers, they're super reliable. American cars are great but designed to break.
@@fishingmistyShort answer: an experiment. Long answer: I live in NJ and we fish the back bays and inlets for Tautog, usually called Blackfish or Tog. My favorite fish to chase after. Great fighting and tasting saltwater fish. Need to be 15" to keep and the world record was caught here and weighed almost 24lbs. They eat crustaceans and mollusks and have teeth like people (look up a photo, it's freaky). I usually use green crabs as bait but we can blow thru dozens real quick because we are fishing hard structure (rocks and wrecks) and there are LOTS of baitstealers. So I want to make a gelatin based (for ease and scent dispersal) and maybe incorporate some spawn netting to make it harder to steal and so I can cast against concrete bridge pilings without instantly knocking off my crab. Tog also loves mussels and oysters and some people make little net bags and stuff them full, I also thought this might be a viable firmer alternative. I think if I add your glue hack I'll get the perfect consistency. Besides it gives me an option that I'm already familiar with. Back in the day (I'm 46), I was a punk rock kid and used Knox gelatin and Elmer's glue to hold my 12" mohawk up. Basically, gelatin is medium and glue is extra firm. Either way, thanks for the idea. Sorry for the long winded response
Thank you hope you don't mind but I run kids fishing group always trying to find cheap baits to give away to special kids all over and fixen to travel before I retire and going state to state with fam to find kids in each state I drive thru to bless as many kids this I have to try. Bummer I did no this years ago maybe could have made have to alot kids to savey group alot money. Been tuff 16 well 7 years half went grate then my disibility got worst 6 or 7 years ago but pray I can handle one more year. But wish I could learn few more homemade baits to try and give the kids while finding cheap used baits on line to give the kids. Thanks for sharing I'm gonna sub and check out more yours. God bless
I would say only make what you need at the time. mine kept for 1 week out in about 75 degrees, but i ran out before i could see how long they would last.
@fishingmisty ok thx for the reply. I was just curious cuz I live 5 miles from a lake and was thinking about making them and selling them. I made some fish bites like your video and forgot them in the tackle bag for 3 days and they started to mold. Do these gulp worms dissolve in water over time? Also was the hot chocolate mix for color or is it a important ingredient for the recipe?
Just for color..yeah i am going to do a video this fall on the baits ive made and see how they hold up in the tackle ox and fridge..yes they desolve over time but it takes awhile
How come you didn't show us how to roll everything was going good until then I'm going to watch watch the video what's the point what if I don't know how to roll them
Have you ever rolled play-doh between your 2 hands before as a kid? That's all you have to do.. They dont have to be great, just anything that resembles a worm.

Thanks for your video!
Sounds like a good idea..thanks for the info
I will certainly make me some. Thank U for sharing. Keep me informed of your future bait making.
cool, I had some cousins that used white bread for the same thing. Good video.
Thanks..and thanks for watching.

@@southernexposure123 thanks..ill look it up

I agree. I think you can catch fish with many different style bait

Im going to ride my motorcycle all winter..well on the better days..just a blast to ride.
Strawberry Nehi , cornmeal , flower and red dye. work like a charm. Baked them for 5 minutes at 200° just work with mixes. Humidity makes a difference
Ill try that..thanks
I know its late to post a comment but that was inspiration especialy now with money 'so tight 'for most people 😃👍🇺🇲🇬🇧
Thank you
I will have to try that.
Pizza crust flous has ALLOT less Gluten in it and CAN affect your recipe if they use a different type of flour. Just FYI
Thanks
Hell Yeah! I'm definitely gonna use this to modify my homemade tog bait.
Whats tog bait? I like using different baits and trying them out.

Thanks for subscribing. I have a few more home made baits im going to make this year..hopefully you will be able to use a few of them.
I subbed you keep up the great work
Thank you
COOL IDEA I friended your channel I have a coin channel been a bit sick lately so not posted lately but at 800 I am doing a gaw
Great video... thx for doing the video!!! How did it hold up to hot temperatures and storage of the bait??? Specifically mold.
I would say only make what you need at the time. mine kept for 1 week out in about 75 degrees, but i ran out before i could see how long they would last.

@@fishingmisty ok cool thank u so much for making the video and for your replies...much appreciated!!!
@@shrimpworms thanks for watching
You ever see pond fish pellets? They smell so fishy. I have wondered if they could be grounded up and used as an ingredient?
Ive thought that myself..i might try to make some kind of bait out of it one day
I wonder about some rubber that they use to make plastic worms and then some cat tail fluff in the mix with some cent mixed in
Ive seen different people use cat tails in all kinds of homemade baits ...that probly would work..
I wonder how it would be to mix your cent while your mixing it
Never thought about it really..but that may be a good idea and something to try out.
R u going to keep us updated on it
Yes..im going to make another batch and do another video soon on it.
How come you didn't show us how to roll everything was going good until then I'm going to watch watch the video what's the point what if I don't know how to roll them
Have you ever rolled play-doh between your 2 hands before as a kid? That's all you have to do.. They dont have to be great, just anything that resembles a worm.
You test them in saltwater??
No..but the man I got the recipe from did and said it does well in saltwater
@@fishingmisty thank you very much I appreciate it from my heart
Who da thunk it. :😮😊) 😀
