Happy Catfish Day, I've got a great homemade catfish bait. You need a bowl of Turkey Livers, a bottle of garlic salt, and an empty coffee can.
Trim the liver into hook-size pieces, place a layer of Garlic salt in the bottom of the coffee can, add a layer of livers, another layer of salt then livers then salt, repeat layers. Put your lid on and set it aside somewhere to age at least a month. Makes a great bait.
