There are several different types of bait that can be utilized to catch catfish. Catfish are scavengers and will eat a huge range of things. But are you using those baits correctly in order to catch a big catfish?
When catfishing, targeting the environment to locate the fish is much more important than your selection of bait. It's pointless to try different types of bait in the water while you're sitting in one spot in hope of a catfish to catch the line.
Catfish are slippery and like to hide. It's important to observe the body of water where you are fishing and learn where its catfish like to hide.
When you are out catfishing, keep mobile with a rod and reel. When you notice something sticking up out of the water, sneak over and throw a fresh shad head by it. Look for a good current eddy and try your luck there also.
It won't take long for you to find out if there's fish in that specific area or not. If nothing bites in twenty mins, move on.
Remember to always keep the bait still. Try to avoid rebounding and moving the bait unnecessarily. With the appropriate techniques and skills, plus the right kind of apparatus and bait, you can catch a big number of catfish.
When a lake has risen due to flood waters, it is a amazing opportunity for catfishing. The catfish will go to the freshly flooded vegetation and feed heavily. Here, use fresh shad heads and cut Bluegill. Although you can go catfishing any time of the day, the best time to go catfishing is early in the morning and later in the evening. In the daytime, these fish settle at the bottom of the area of water.
Once the sun sets, they come above to the shallows to go looking for food. Wet days are another great time to go catfishing. When the weather is cloudy, you can get a very good catch any time of the day. Re seasons, spring to early fall is usually perfect for fishing channel catfish because of the rising water levels. These catfish are highly active and thus better to catch in this time.
Catfish are a brilliant game fish which will give you a session when you reel them in. Remember to keep trying different spots when you are fishing for catfish. If you're using baits like fresh cut shad, Bluegill, perch, tiny frogs, chicken liver, night crawlers, for example. And you haven't caught anything in 20 to 30 minutes, then go on.
If you happen to spot gulls working over an area, get downwind of them and you will have an even chance at catching catfish. Remember to test out a good current eddy. Catfish travel up and back down channels in pursuit of food. Attempt to locate the fish -- instead of waiting for them to find you -- and you may have more success at catfishing.
