Hey Italo,I live in Niagara Falls and was wondering where I could catch some cut bait for catfish close to Jordan harbour. Usually I would just go to peters tackle but in these times I can't buy any. Also is there any other bait I could use that works just as good or better then cut bait? Thank you so much, Tyler

Hi Tyler, I would suggest you go to any creek going into Lake Ontario right now and catch a couple of White Suckers (they are running now). They are excellent cut-bait for Channel Catfish.

Your other option is to purchase either while frozen Smelt or a few jumbo Shrimp, they also work well.
