To use cat food as crab bait, simply place a small amount of cat food in a bait cage or trap and submerge it in the water where crabs are present. The strong scent of the cat food will attract the crabs, making it an effective bait option.
It would have to be cat food its the best ive ever tried.
yes you need bait to catch a fish for the cat. you do not need to use bait to catch the fish for the cat just catch 2 fishes
A hermit crab is a crab, just like a cat is a cat and a dog is a dog.
chum is mashed up dog and cat food bait used to attract fish.
Yes, cats can eat shellfish once in a while, but too much can make them have dihareea.
The best cat food really depends on your cat. In theory you would want to feed your cat a food that is made with real meat, and no red dyes, as red dyes aren't good for cats to digest.

Crabs are known as scavengers, who will literally eat anything that they can sink their claws into. But, the age old question about bait really depends on what type of crabbing activity one does. Commercial crabbers in the Bering Sea, who go after the larger crabs will bait their Crab Pots with large chunks of fish, along with the fish heads and guts that people normally throw out. They may also include a bait bottle with mashed clams and other fishy viscera, and or a slowly dissolving oily and smelly chemical attractant solution. That type of baiting is obviously on one extreme. Recreational crabbing generally requires less bait dedication; as long as there's something in the crab trap, a crab will eventually smell it and show up to try to eat it. What helps the crab smell something is water movement. If a trap is laid in dead calm waters, where there is zero tidal activity, then that scent is not going to be carried very far. This is why long time crabbers like to go to areas that have good tidal bore movement, so that any bait scent is carried, attracting crabs from a much greater distance. Alternatively, some crabbers will augment their chances by using a lot of bait, filling a bait bag with an overflowing amount of bio material that is leaking a tremendous amount of smelly crab calling juices. What people have used as bait ranges with imagination and costs as consideration. Anything from Bunker (Atlantic Menhaden, type of oily fish) to Chicken Necks; to old 'about to spoil' and discarded fish parts (many supermarkets will sell this at reduced cost) can be used. Others will even bait their traps with cans of Cat Food that had holes punched into them. All things considered one has to decide for him or herself how much of an investment one wants to make in the crabbing activity. There doesn't seem to be a wrong way to bait a crab trap.
Depending on how you present the food and how you call it forth, it could take as little as a few minutes for a friendly cat or a week or two for a solitary/hostile cat to adjust, or maybe never if you don't have strong enough bait. If you are attempting to get a strange cat to come to you, I wouldn't suggest ordinary cat food; cat treats, canned cat food, cheese, milk or meat (not raw!) will tempt a cat forward fairly quickly. Cat food as it is isn't something an ordinary cat would spend his time after.

I generally bait opossums with a can of wet cat food...or my homemade stink bait for catfishing. That's made with bovine blood, dry cat food, garlic, chicken gizzards, fish guts, and any other organ meats (hearts, livers, lungs) This sits in a 5 gallon bucket in the summer sun with a cover and forms a thick stinky paste, but takes a month to make...opossums here love it.
You are going to a lot of trouble to make ant bait when you can buy it premade. Boric Acid (Borax) is the active ingredient in just about all of them and the baits are usually more attractive than pet food. Recommend Fluorguard if you are looking for a bait that works on most common ants (non-fire/pharoah)
