A Twist with Jello Chicken Catfish Bait

In this catfish fishing video I am fishing for catfish with strawberry jello chicken for catfish bait. Many people wonder if jello chicken actually works for catfish bait, and I can confirm that strawberry jello chicken makes an excellent catfish bait in the right conditions. Arguments can be made for the best catfish bait for big fish, or the best catfish bait for catching a lot of catfish, but Jello chicken catfish bait is always a good catfish bait to try.

Your videos never disappoint! They have taught me a lot about catfishing! Thanks Dieter! 🙏🏼🎣🐟

[@keithandrews4073]

When using the jello o gelatin, it does work better if it sits in the fridge or cooler overnight. It oes toughen the chicken up considerably

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Agreed!!

[@michaelmosley254]

My buddy and his daddy been using chicken on watts bar a few miles below the dam for years just trying to catch eaters and yes one them old big ones will eat it to great video

[@EagleEyesTienda]

Still haven’t broke my PB blue at 47 pounds caught on jello chicken 👊, great video

[@bowhuntrrl]

Dieter, have you ever tried chicken gizzards? They are tough, cheap and have a strong smell! Way cheaper than chicken breast...

[@moseskongi4746]

What is a chicken gizzard?

[@TeamBlueCatfishing]

A bait I use regularly is mullet here in north Florida. It works pretty well.

[@830pc209]

Huge fish on a tiny bait! Very nice.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Great video professor Dieter.

[@Nutintoitbut2doit]

Looks like a fun day fishing. Nice flathead.

[@jeffjohns9469]

I really love those ancient mariner reels. I got the blue,black, and pink one and have had them about 2 years now and not one single issues with any of them yet

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video the flathead was a great catch i need to try the jello thank you and how is everyone doing there

[@brandondrane9710]

Awesome video that was a hoss of a flathead 👍👍

[@driveabout1world872]

Great video, as always. Tried cut Raccoon this weekend. Didn’t catch anything, but didn’t catch anything on shrimp either. Haven’t given up on the Raccoon just yet. Will try mixing jello with it. It’s a stringy meat and really stays on the hook.

[@alanweisner2421]

As always, great content. I am retired, I travel with my van & 18 ft Lund. I am from the other side of the Rockies and am satisfied with my Flatbed catches. PB is 41 lbs, not a monster but fine with me. What's left on my bucket list are big Blues, basically are none out west. I was headed to your area until the Hurricane hit. I am at Texoma to try and get a 35 lb or better. Wrong time of year on this body of water but, will stay in water cools. So far ? 18 lb my best, for me ? Nice fish can I have been supplementing my shad and fishing chicken on another rod. No blues on the Chicken but some very nice 3-7lb Channels. Thank you for all your tips they are invaluable. Stay safe

[@sherrybeaubien7007]

Great video again, thank you for all I’ve learned from you!!

[@commanderkal-el6237]

Another great video, thanks for your time.

[@en1chef54]

Thanks for the advice on chicken breast and jell-O. But, I use elastic bait keeper string while use it. Because it stops the fish from taking my bait.

[@bankfishingislife5484]

here a secret. chicken has arginine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. which is 9/10 of the amino acids catfish need to grow. it almost works as good as fresh cut skipjack. i always catch more fish on fresh cut skipjack. but that could be it just stays on the hooks better after descale it and hook it through the skin. compared to a yellow bass hitting a piece of chicken and stripping it off. but chicken is good trotline bait also. but if yellows get there before catfish they can strip it all. i think the jello can thicken up the chicken and make it stay on hook better but only when i cut the chicken put it in a bag with the jello and then bury the bag in ice chest full of ice and have the ice chest in fridge overnight. nice vid and fish.

[@davescott3729]

Great video Dieter and that two handed double toss back a solid 10 lol I’m heading to buggs in the morning any tips on depth ? And I will be carrying some chicken lol

[@haroldsfishingadventures754]

I like fresh cut fish heads for bait, seems to catch the bigger ones

[@keithbartlett6708]

Thank you, Sir!

[@cameroncarter7302]

Jello chicken mixed up in a can of fishy cat food is my preferred go to

[@patriotcatfishersofamerica7985]

Great flathead my brother.

[@TheJoneshouse3]

Can you tell us what lake you're fishing? And do you use live scope or fish finder or do you like just trolling? I have been looking for a good bank spot on Kerr lake if you know of any I would appreciate it

[@JerryDavis-x7u]

I use Garlic powder on all my bait.

[@Amra591]

We used garlic powder too. Wonder if mixed with the gelatin would work as well? Maybe help keep the scent better?

[@JerryDavis-x7u]

Your chicken will be tougher if you cut long ways not across the Brest. Then cut 1” squares. Strawberry cool add with garlic powder sprinkled with allium power yo make it tougher. Only bait I’ve used for 10 years or longer. Cheapest bait to.

[@JerryDavis-x7u]

Alum powder. This phone spells for me. I hate it.

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

I like using garlic salt! Works great.

[@chadsnyder5667]

I've used anice and garlic with the chicken anice seemed to work really well as far as scent and outdone garlic when I've used both. Garlic and jello haven't had much luck with. Am wanting to try chicken n coffee grounds seen some vids of it they cleaning house. Thank you as always for your videos tutorials basically everything you provide for all of us. Tight lines brother

[@JoshSees]

Have you tried treating cut bait in jello or anything?

[@royodell-f6g]

What about jello flavored cut bait vs not flavored?

[@Megellin]

I'm surprised you got that big one on something that isn't live. I always use tiny brim or gizzard shad to catch them.

[@rickdavison685]

Could you make up the jello chicken in advance and vacuum pack and freeze them for later? Thanks for your videos as I’m that new guy learning to catch cats.

[@hikewadepaddle]

Have you tried any of the Pro Line syrups, yet? I have some chicken marinating in them, now, about to head out and give it the ol' college try in a bit.

[@cameronreed2378]

flathead in the daylight too

[@jamesbaker7476]

I haven't had a problem chicken stays on a long time

[@wraynovotny3686]

Powder peanut butter and garlic powder is great 2

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

I'll have to try that!

[@Wyatt-pe9wn]

W cat

[@camojoe83]

Oh, yeah. Because apex predators in the water eat lots of jello and chicken naturally. Never once seen a flathead cough up a tyson package after I caught it. They're not Cosby fans either, soo....

[@44thala49]

So you’re saying that the video has been doctored?

[@camojoe83]

@@44thala49 did one of those fish puke up a Tyson label? I missed that.

[@TeamBlueCatfishing]

I have caught only one flathead on a piece of chicken breast. The rest have been blues and channels.

[@Wyatt-pe9wn]

W video

[@maxxmann24]

wonder how pudding works

[@raygissendanner1476]

I was talking to someone today catfishing and we was talking about using chicken he said he uses chicken kool-aid and redbull

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Redbull! Great idea!

[@joshuarock8223]

I noticed you use the breast meat a lot, is there a difference in performance between the breast meat and the thigh meat?

[@robbiesmith9786]

What flavor chicken is best for state record flat head

[@bosstankproductions1304]

Probably going to wanna use cut bait if chasing a state record

[@ChrisBassFishingAdventures]

Forgot chicken and get you some live fish. I don’t do this chicken bullshit just a gimmick. You want big fish use big cut and live baits

[@bosstankproductions1304]

@@ChrisBassFishingAdventures chicken isn’t a bad bait at all and it’s not a gimmick. I’d say the gelatin part is but chicken is fine itself.

[@ChrisBassFishingAdventures]

@@bosstankproductions1304 to be fair I will agree that chicken does catch fish but at least in my area all that’s interested are small channels and bullheads. Take some big cut bait or live fish and you catch blues and flatheads everytime

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Yeah channel cats love chicken breast in my area. The blue cats love the live bait and cut bait. Gizzard shad works really well both live and cut!!

[@nativewildman9335]

Have you ever trolled with the big yellow grasshoppers? I have been having luck with them for the last couple of trips.

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

👍👍 Grasshopper is our favorite flavor in the wally world magic bait. In our store it is usually sold out

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

I'll have to try that!
