Looking to throw together a DP bait with what i have on hand just looking for some feedback.
Shelled feed corn, game bird feed,and high protein fish feed, add a touch of molasses and some oil that i have soaked anise seed in. Let me know your opinions. Thanks in advance

tested 3 baits this year. Cat food, fish pellets , and homemade fish bait. Cat food was by far the best.

Fish base is great but grinners and house cats love it too. Go with strawberry marshmallows..

Generic Fruity Pebbles Cereal did a great job for me in the summer on some nuisance jobs. Fall - fish flavored catfood with a dribble of liquid smoke.

The CHEAPEST, oiliest cat food you can find. The added smoke is great, especially as it gets colder and real vanilla is super when it's warmer. I puree mine with a SECRET ingredient, and make it into a paste that spoons in real easy and doesn't interfere with the triggers like whole cat food can. It's not rocket science- 'coon will eat anything. But this stuff I use is freeze-proof (the SECRET ingredient that I use to keep all of these high-dollar 'coon to myself) and is so killer I wish I could get it patented. Because of all the 'coon it catches and all of the money that I make off of them. Secrets...

Sigh.
