What a good chum to use for catfish to atract the in a area for me to catch?

The best thing to use is sour maize. Just fill up a 5 gallon bucket, then fill it with water. Poke a few holes in the lid and set it in the sun for a few weeks until you can smell it. Use a coffee can to throw it out a few minutes before you fish. A second option if you don't like the smell of the maize is range cubes. You can buy a bug sack at any farm supply store for about $5. This doesn't stink and will last a long time in your garage if you keep it dry. Again, simply toss out a few handfuls in the area you plan to fish.

for chum you can use dog food in the can or dry me and my buddies we used to take like 4 small cans of dog food and poke holes in it and some skinny rope and put the rope through 2 holes and toss it out about 20-30 feet and tie it to a tree or put it on a stake in the ground and leave it out there while you fish and it attracted some big cats for us. just make sure to pick it up when you done, don't litter. for bait i like to use chicken livers and also i like to use shrimp for shrimp use a 1/2 oz weight and place it about 15-20 inches above the hook as for rigging the shrimp on the hook you can hook it through the middle or from where the head was to the beginning of the tail. Good luck.

the best thing to use is the blood from your chicken livers, the water needs to be calm though, just pour it where you intend to fish. they sense the smell of the blood and migrate towards it searching. then put you liver on a treble hook with a pice of nylon from panty hose over it to keep it together on the hook. try not to throw any food into the water to lure them as they will feed on that and by time your ready to fish they are no longer hungry or interested in it. i've caught many in my career by using this method. good luck and take a kid fishin

WOW, there are some crazy recipes out there! I just use chicken livers.. has never failed me yet..

actually, me and my dad always catch catfish, but not on purpose, one of them damn things caught me when i wasn't looking and pulled my pole in the water.
