Catfishing Baits

Find The The Best Bait To Catch The Biggest Catfish…

Everyone wants to catch a big catfish, and one of the best catfishing tips you can ever get is to get a good catfishing bait. Most catfish eat everything whether it’s meat or vegetables, both alive and dead ones. They are the least picky animals when it comes to food.

This gives a great variety of choice to the anglers when making baits for catfishing. Those typically used as baits are live perch, shad, crawfish, worms, minnows, grasshoppers, chicken liver, stink baits, might crawlers, marshmallows, and small frogs. But the most preferred is live bait, best if you go for stinky ones, as catfish have great sense of smell.

Worms can be a great choice when it comes to catfishing bait making. Night crawlers or garden worms are used most often as they’re easier to find and they seem to be the catfish’s favourite. They can be bought from all bait shops but they can also be found in your house backyard.

Small water animals like shrimps and small prawns are also favorable bait of the catfish. You can either cut them into smaller pieces or use the whole prawn. It is best you use them without their shells, although with the shells is also doable. They can be bought from your local supermarket; frozen or fresh. To make the odor stronger to invite the catfish, soak them in fish sauce for a few minutes before using.

You can also come up with your own homemade catfishing bait recipes for catfishing. A few spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of corn flakes then mix them well together, and you’re done. This homemade recipe with the peanut butter helps attracting the fish due to its smell.

And the bonus is the sticky texture of the peanut butter makes it almost impossible for the small fish to get off the hook, if you wrap a piece of bread ball around it to cover the hook. Also this type of bait will also be efficient way to catch the hook-shy fish that has been caught and released before. You can even use cheese, as it’s also the catfish’s favorite.

Use Your Imagination And Make Your Own Catfish Bait

You can feel free to use your imagination when it comes to cooking baits for catfishing. When it comes to food, the catfish rely on their senses of smell due to their weak eyesight. So the more smelly the baits are the more likely the catfish will be attracted to go near the area where all the catfishing noodling will take place. To sum up, it is best to use stink bait for catfish .

Catfishing Gear

Find The Perfect Catfishing Line And Find The Right Catfishing Reel

Typically, people don’t pay much attention to catfishing line when it comes to catfishing. It all comes down to the rod and reel as well as the terminal gear. Not having the right catfishing line, and you stand the chance of losing many big catfish you should’ve been able to catch. There are a few things you should consider before purchasing your fishing line.

Catfishing should be treated as a sport. If catfishing is a sport then hooking a fish and just hauling it in doesn’t feel like a fair fight. For it to be sport there has to be a fight to see if your skill can win over sheer power and land that big catch.

Having said that, “don’t bring a knife to a gunfight” will also be a wise motto. The most powerful fish you’re about to go up against are the blue and flathead catfish that weigh over 50 pounds. Based on records, some can even be over 120 pounds.

Another thing you should bare in mind is the conditions of the water in the deep levels. Many objects like rocks and snags that migh come across your catfishing line can easily do  big damage to your line. Big catfish will run for cover when hooked and if they make it there chances are you have lost this battle.

There are 3 types of catfishing line to consider, but if you’re new to catfishing, pay most attention to the strength. Your major line should stay under 20 lb. test. Spend a little more by using 40-50 lb on a braided line. Test.

That is not sporting you say. Making a use of 50 lb. test line to hook a 10 lb. catfish. As a leader, put a lighter line at the end of terminal tackle next to a swivel with your sinker on the main line. This will become cheaper for you.

The most important catfishing gear that you need to get right when you first learn catfishing, is choosing good catfishing reels.

Another objective of this article is to walk you through different types and brands of catfising reels, as a basic guideline when opting for a good catfishing equipment.

Let’s go through one of the most significant points to take note is the kind of set up you will get. There are several different types of reels on the market known as bait casting (baitcaster), spinning and spincasting.

While some find it acceptable to use a spincasting or spinning model for catfishing most hardcore catters prefer to use a baitcasting model (also known as a baitcaster). Many catters are reluctant by these kinds of fishing reels for catfishing but don’t be. To become a good catfisher you need to have a bait casting model and learn to use it well. This can be accomplished quickly and easily and with a few short hours in the yard you can be casting like a pro in no time.

You will find it a great skill to learn to cast with this type of reels. Dont’ get stuck with just using the spinning and spincasting gear. Efficient, and well-known catfishing tricks involves the area found on good baitcasting setups.

The features of good catfishing reels:

There are many aspects and things to take into account when shopping for catfishing reels. These are some of the top features and items that you will need.

Line Capacity – Get a reel with good line capacity capable of holding a good amount of heavy pound test fishing line.

Drag – Everyone wants a good smooth when landing huge catfish, this is important.

Gear Ratio – Opt for a minimal gear ratio on the fishing reel. You will get a slower retrieve and more power. A reel that comes with a gear ratio at 3:1 is much slower when retrieve than when setup at a 6:1 ratio. Just to be clear, slower is better, in this regard.

Bait Clicker/Line Alarm – A bait clicker or line alarm is an crucial part for many catfishmen when shopping for catfishing reels. There are many techniques that are used that require the bait clicker or line alarm function.

A popular brand to look for when choosing fishing reels for catfishing are Abu Garcia it is the on I am using and I recommend it. For more information and the best price online head over to Amazon.com

Flathead Catfishing

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Jason C. Moore

Flathead Catfishing

Learn The Best Way To Catch The Biggest Flathead Catfish

Flathead catfish is a native species to the United States. Although they originally came from the Mississippi River and the big rivers that drain off of it, flatheads have been transplanted and can now be found in waters across the nation due to their popularity as a game fish and food.

Flatheads can be found in slow-moving water such as large rivers and streams, and also in lakes and ponds. They prefer to reside in deep water with objects like fallen logs that provide good hiding places.

Flathead catfish are so named for their long, distinctly flattened heads. Their eyes are flat and oval shaped, and their lower jaw protrudes past their upper jaw. They come in shades of mottled browns and yellows. Forty- to fifty-pound flatheads are often caught in rivers and lakes. Flathead catfish that are over one-hundred pounds have reportedly also been caught.

After hatching, flathead catfish grow quickly. They are mature when they are about fifteen to nineteen inches long, and can live for over twenty-five years. They grow continuously throughout their life time. Flatheads will eat just about anything they can get in their big mouths, but they prefer fish. Bream are one of their favorite foods. They also love to eat live perch and sunfish. Flathead catfish can destroy the population of some kinds of sunfish, especially in smaller bodies of water, or water where they are not native.

Some smaller rivers in Georgia have lost almost all their redbreast sunfish after the introduction of flatheads. Flatheads tend to feed by sight, and will feed at night as well as during the day — even though most catfish tend to be more active at night. You can lure flatheads with light. They’ll come to feed on the baitfish if they are attracted to the light.

How To Catch Flathead Catfish

Flathead catfish like deep holes with cover on the outside edges of river bends. Look for large logjams, tree stumps, and rocks where they like to hide. Cast under the edges. Let your bait drift in, and then hang on. If the outside bends are too strong to fish, find some inside bends with less current.

In large lakes and reservoirs, look for the big flatheads in areas with lots of cover — like submerged brush piles. Flatheads often travel in old river and creek channels in these lakes and reservoirs. At night, they’ll travel these channels and emerge at the edge of shallows to feed. Position yourself along these areas and wait for them to arrive.

You’ll have better results fishing for flathead catfish in the early morning, early evening, and after dark in the summer months. Although flatheads will take bait during the day, they won’t go far to do so. You’ll have to become familiar with the body of water you’re fishing in and where flatheads are in order to get the bait close enough to them. Keep your catfish bait on the river or lake bottom. Flathead catfish feed off the bottom most of the time.
