so i was bass fishin and nothing hit nor looking at the baits i was tossing in prime spots. decided to go a'cattin'. grabbed my bigger pole and my new bait to test it. baited up one pole with a float and one on the bottom, and sat and sat and sat. still nothing. just when i was about to give THAT up, the bobber started dancing. so i snatched it up and gave it a pull and at first thought,, i said "turtle", but lo and behold it was a fair battle with about a 7 pound channel. ok that so far so good my new bait seems to be working. the one onthe bottom. not nairy a bump. rebaited the floater and waited and waited, not so long for the float to start dancing. again i slammed the hook, this time i landed about a 10 pound channel. still nothing on bottom line. strange but left it sitting. rebaited the floater and had a few "tasters" but nothing solid. but thats ok, at least i found my new bait works. the new bait i am talking about is peanut butter, i mixed it with corn starch to stiffen it up and make it hold on the hook better, but it WORKED for catching 'em. by the way, that was a mighty tastey dinner. good luck to the rest of you.

Sounds like you may be on to something. You may want to play with the idea of adding other things to the peanut butter, maybe some garlic?

My father uses peanut butter and prunes, mixes in some oats then dips the prunes in. I thought he was loosing his mind but I guess the old timers still got a few tricks up his sleeve. Before the hour was up he was catching fish. Who would have ever thought you could catch fish on peanut butter and prunes lol

Our local lakes are stocked from June through August with catfish. I'm going to try your peanut butter and corn starch mix. Questions: Did you use one of those treble hooks with the springs - typically used for dough baits? How long of a leader between your hook and bobber? Thanksabunch!
