Catfish itself is a carnivorous benthic fish, and catfish is also a scavenger. It should be noted that not only Egyptian catfish will eat carrion, but also native catfish will eat it, but the native catfish has higher requirements on water quality and does not eat garbage! The native catfish in wild waters usually have a certain predation ability, so in most cases, their food is still live fish and live shrimp! So if we catch catfish, it's better to choose some fresh meat bait. Here we recommend several commonly used baits with good effects: fresh pig liver, black earthworm and chicken intestines. These three kinds of bait have good effects, and catfish can also be caught by hooking small crucian carp or loach. To sum up, the bait used for catfish fishing should be meat first, and then fresh. I believe catfish also prefer to eat fresh food. Finally, there must be enough fishy smell to attract catfish. Different from other fresh water, catfish's vision is almost degraded, which we can understand as blindness, so catfish look for food by smell!
