: I really haven't chummed for catfish but I do understand that they love sweet additives such as maple flavoring or brown sugar. I have ground up some chicken liver in dried bread crumbs but haven't tried it yet. I just keep it frozen so the liver doesn't ferment into a stinking mess! My Carp groundbait is simply dried bread ground up with corn meal, oats and canned corn. It also attracts bullheads so I assume catfish would eat it also. There are pre mixed chum formulas in some bait stores. Just be carefull not to over feed or you'll end up with a bunch of fully fed fish without catching any!
