Have used fish food, which is usually ground and processed fish, for about 10 yrs.. It can be mixed with a variety of scents for different odors like SNIPERBBB says. Works OK in DP's for me but what baits DON'T work for coons?. ...................the mike

I use it mixed with crawfish oil. What I really like about it is it has some kind of coating on it that handles rain pretty well. Cat food turns to mush with even a light rain. These keep their shape pretty well.
I run dry cat food in some fish flavor with floating catfish food with select oils for added smell. them little masked bandits can't seem to get enough of it. if it rains on the trap while set bait may clump up; just dump it out and refresh !
22 pounds of fishy cat food mixed with a pint of bacon grease, 2 ounces of cherry oil and sometimes a healthy dose of barbecue sauce. The bacon grease coats the cat food enough that it will take a little rain without any worries. They eat dirty diapers out of dumpsters. I move traps around enough that it has yet to cause any concern.
While I won’t knock anyone for doing things their way, I’ll point out, for newer folks, don’t make this harder (or more messy) than this needs to be. Fish based cat food is enough. If you care to add a smell, probably better.
Things that get messy aren’t needed.
The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle.
I have been using it about 10 years now, my mother in law had a bag and got a gallon from her. Works well on coons and I have had some success in small dirt hole set for fox on it as well.
