Fishing for Catfish the Right Way
Summary:
Catching catfish can be rewarding if you follow some fundamental techniques. It's important to remember that not every method works in every body of water, as techniques and bait mixtures often need to be adjusted.
Simple and Effective Methods
Rigging
Begin by looping the bait holder or treble hook from the start of the line to a desired distance, typically between 18 to 24 inches, depending on the bait being used. Adding a weight can help keep the rig still, as movement of the bait is not recommended. You can use a slip weight to maintain bait stability, ensuring the fish doesn't detect the weight until it's too late. The multibait technique allows for multiple catches by adding a three-way swivel along the line. More strikes mean higher chances of a big catch.Bait
Experts often recommend chicken livers or medium-sized shrimps, purchased from a grocery store. Make sure the shrimp body fits snugly on a no. 6 hook, removing its tail and skin first. With chicken, using pantyhose becomes essential to secure the bait. Treble hooks wrapped in a piece of pantyhose with a tag end attached work well. Other effective baits include blood worms, minnows, catfish paste, night crawlers, snails, small fish (live or dead), and dough baits. Natural baits are often the most successful.Chumming
This method involves attracting catfish by tossing balls made from a combination of natural recipes into the water. Be sure to use enough mixture for the catfish to feed fully. Attach the same recipe to your hook for consistency. Adding a pleasant-smelling flavor to the mixture can greatly enhance its effectiveness.Tackling
A suitable tackle can attract a significant number of catfish. Opt for a spinning reel with a rod about 6 feet long. Heavier lines might slow down the catch, but not the experience. Cost shouldn't be a concern, as the learning curve is comparable between inexpensive and expensive gear. After catching a catfish, remove the hook with pliers and ensure a secure grip. Be cautious of poisonous fins by sliding your hand from the tail to the stomach, positioning your fingers on one side and thumb on the other, to safely remove the catfish from the hook.Happy catfishing!
