MR. Berk and I went to my cove and caught four bass on a June bug lizard and a black/chart lizard. All in 4' to 6' water and the temp was 56.7 with light winds. It looks like it will be sometime next week before I can get back out so till then good luck and GOD BLESS.............WOODY

I am drinking grape Koolaid right now....and you tell me it catches fish??

Would someone explain this trick? If not that is okay. It tastes pretty good right now without shrimp.

about 5 yrs ago we were out at drakes creek and this lady was wearing the catfish out..i looked and THOUGHT she had bloody chicken...NOPE.."Thats chicken breast cubes with strawberry kool aid on it.." I thought "what the hell?" Tried it on chicken breast and shrimp..Im "hooked" lol..Been using it for 5 years now. BUT Grape is the BEST for drinking I can agree!

Interesting, so its like a marinade. We used to soak shrimp in vanilla extract so i am familiar with that much. I may try that one night in the yak drifting with a couple down lines.

Thats pretty cool!
So do you make the koolaid per directions and soak the bait or do you just use it as a "dry rub"?
Its pretty amazing all the different stuff people use to catch catfish...cheese cubes, ivory soap, ect...

peel shrimp.Poor koolaid ( no sugar) on it and add a bit of water..let sit over night is best.you can ever squirt a bit of that Berkley's catfish attractant on it.

So does it give you the old tobacco hands stain after you're done fishing it?

I really want to give it a try this summer.

Yes it does. Mine were stained red after using it.

[Tennoutdrsman]

Its funny cause I'll always stop by Walkers bait and tackle after wards and they'll see our hands.."That Dang koolaid again huh?"..lol!

[TNBronzeback]

Thanks for the info. I would much rather have red koolade hands then chicken liver salmonela hands! lol.
Those things make my hands itch and swell up something bad! lol.
Im gonna try this next time im targeting the kitties!
thanks again!
