need idea for carp/catfish bait
Something non-live or parishable. Basically I want to be able to keep it in my work bag and if it breaks open its not gonna stink. So far I been using just plain dough but hasn't been catching squat. Should I mix in some garlic with the dough? My pb&j sandwich worked good for carp lures do ok in some lakes but other lakes where seaweed and snags are everywhere they are outta the question

Not sure about non parishable. I've tried everything you can think of, from expensive stink baits, to lures and whatnot. But I catch more cats and carps with just a couple nice size bell sinkers, a circle hook, and good old fashion night crawlers. Throw em out there, let it sink, stick your rod in a holder, sit back and drink beer and before you know it, your rod will bend in half. I know this doesn't really help you. But it's what I could give ya.

fruity chewing gum...uh i think thats all i have on the list of non parishables, gummy bears too maybe
canned corn, chicken gizards/livers work.. when i used to fish for cats, I just ran nightcrawlers weighted and with a bobber on a 3 way hook

Man we dont have catfish where Im from. Noodling looks like fun! I would love to catch some cats one day in the US...
We do however have these, LOTS of them. They are good eating, but it takes some learning on how to de-bone them as they have 2 sets of ribs on each fillet section. They are mean as all hell and will bite on anything, including waders toes dangling off docks. Ive seen pike snag my crankbait right out of the air when casting, and go after skipping stones. Ive caught half fish because the pike takes half off for an easy lunch. They are not scared of people either, they will come stare straight up your ice fishing holes at you. Its creepy. You also have to watch your hands and use pliers to remove the hooks, or kill it, then get the hooks cause it will snap at you and mess your hand up.
NORTHERN PIKE
This is almost a record one, this beast probably ate ducks and small dogs.
Heres a more normal sized one
We also seem to have carp starting to get up here in Alberta. There never was any before, and its not listed as a sportfish here yet, but I swear I ahve caught fish that looked like this in the middle of Edmonton in the North Saskatchewan River. Ours seem to be more yellow with an orange belly, and never this large.
