My favorite baits for catching blue catfish at Fletcher’s Cove

My go-to baits for catching blue catfish big and small are: alewife, menhaden (bunker), and stinky chicken. The recipe for stinky chicken is below. I love to use cut eel when I can get it. Cut bluegill also works. And while I am mentioning baits, yes, you can catch blue catfish on chicken livers, bologna, and hot dogs(!)
