I tried it one day. I opened a 5 oz can and peeled the lid back 1/4 of the way and dropped it on the bottom in 20 feet of water right in the center of my tipup spread. I did not catch any pike that day, so my verdict is that it does not work. Maybe I should not jump to that conclusion after just 1 try ?

fish flavor canned cat food. freeze it, hook a line to it, open the lid some and or drive some holes in it. drop it down the hole.

Like both replies….kinda partial to the tuna…cat food not so much…plus its cheaper

Seriously....tossing aluminum cans into a waterway??  Or did I read that wrong....

I tried dog food once years ago in a paper bag with a rock. My house and close friends houses had a grease slick on all our holes. Zero results, we all moved because of the grease slick, they weren’t real impressed with me.

I have used a concoction of smashed garlic, coffee grounds and fish attractant. I can’t say it worked one way or another.

Always more chum

I've used soft  cat food made from fish for chum and caught some nice Northerns on  tip ups I set.
Should also work for catfish.
Be sure and check your state regulations to see what is legal first.

I jig with a half a worm and the other half goes down the hole. Seems to work great for perch.

"...hook a line to it,..."  (must have missed this part?)

Yes - when did catfood become more expensive than tuna?  That does not make any sense to me but I see that it is true.
