catfish are something called bottom feeders, meaning that they will eat anything. Sometimes if they see the color of the soap they will bite on that , and sometimes the bait just isn't appealing to them.

Carp will bite many types of baits, including cheese. But in lakes where catfish species occur, the catfish will probably get there first, as cheese balls are great catfish bait. Try corn, or doughballs sweetened with strawberry or vanilla flavorings for carp.

Why the hell cant you catch a catfish People beside me are and im using the same bait i havent even got a bite?

Ok, listen closely. First, use nightcrawlers, chicken livers, cut bait, or small sunfish. Use a 3'4 oz weight about 15 inches above the hook. Make your cast, tighten your line, but leave a small amount of slack in the line, just enough so it droops slightly from the rod tip. When the catfish hits, the line usually will tighten as the fish moves away with the bait. Point the rod tip at the fish, when the line is tight, set the hook and reel him in.
