    This bait works miracles. I have slayed the blues lately on this and last week, I even caught a striped bass on it. Crazy stuff

    For the sticky, we carry an old washcloth wet, with a squirt of dish soap worked into it, another wet washcloth (for rinse), and a small hand towel for drying. All in separate gallon ziplocs. Keeps the sticky stuff off of everything. Just a quick wash and rinse after baiting up. Easy peasy.

    Hey Dieter, thank you for visiting this topic again. I live most of the year on a smaller lake here in NC that is full of blues and the occasional flathead and have had really good luck with chicken breast and cherry koolaid. Sometimes ill add some garlic which seems to work well. I would love to see a side by side with koolaid, jello, and regular chicken. Thanks for all you do man!

    I have tested the strawberry jello chicken against, menhaden, mullet, bluegill, and herring. It has won each time I tested.
    It wasn’t really a scientific test (I didn’t record anything), but it was duly noted that the chicken was outproducing the other baits hands down.

    Definitely going to try this. I'm 3 for 3 on good size catfish so far using baits I've found at the lake so I know there out here. Got 2 on crawfish and one on a small bait fish I found and that 3rd one got away. Snapped my 20 lb mono after a huge drag ripping fight.

    Great videos. Maybe in the future throw in some locater screen info of what it is showing. Friday night I was putting out a trot line with chicken and caught one about 4 lbs before I got the line out, 25 hooks. Looking to get some fish for the 4th, Saturday morning nearly all the chicken was still there, not one fish. Something to do with the moon or something, Tombigee river, Columbus, MS.

  • @davidwoolsey2135
    @davidwoolsey2135 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Mr. Melhorn, interesting theory about the collagen, so perhaps you might experiment with using Knox straight gelatin on the chicken, so no dye, no sugar, no flavoring? That way you're just adding plain gelatin.

    Have you tried jello and garlic powder flavored chicken breast? That is the way Luke from Catfish and Carp says he makes it. I am wondering if adding the garlic powder to the jello chicken will make it better or will it work about the same.

    • @joshsansone5113
      @joshsansone5113 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just my personal experience but recently I have tried chicken (thumb size pieces with 4/0 circle hook) mixed with a pack of strawberry jello, pack of cherry Kool aid, couple tablespoons of minced garlic, and garlic powder to no avail. Fished ponds, reservoirs, and lakes. Have more luck fishing nightcrawlers. Best store bought bait I use that works is chicken liver. Has to be something with the blood flavor in my opinion.
      What I did notice is the garlic powder when added to hot dogs does toughen them up and tend to stay on hook better. Although I did catch a few with the same mix with cheap hot dogs I still had more activity with the chicken livers

    If you fold the zip loc part over then just slide a piece of chicken up to almost the top of the bag, then you can just reach down with the hook and put it on without ever touching the chicken.

I have some interesting recipes like quanah bait and beef blood bait my dad used on the river that worked well for eater cats. But when i got him using live and cut bait the fish got bigger lol. I mainly bank fish and struggle this year. I usually have no problems catching them i think the crazy amount of rain has me down some lol

    Hey I’m a female but love to fish. I need to get a little refresher course from you guys. My husband and I love to fish off Kure pier in NC. First, what is the best reel/rod- ready to buy me a good one. What test line should I use? Is circle hooks better fishing off the pier or the regular J hooks? Ok this is a dumb question: will the jello and chicken check anything- I see your fishing in lakes so wasn’t sure about the ocean. Any tips you guys can give this female, I’m listening and appreciate it so much. Thanks in advance.

      Questions;
      1). 20-30# test is all you need.
      2). Circle hooks are best anywhere.
      3). Chicken is better in freshwater than saltwater.

    • @DieterMelhorn
      @DieterMelhorn  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You probably don’t need heavier gear. Your line failed because it was frayed or damaged. Most reels only have 12-15 pounds of drag, and you’re obviously not running your drag maxed out, so it virtually impossible for it to break unless it damaged….
