Natural Catfish Bait

This post is for the novice catfishermen or "catfishchics" out there. I am by no means an expert at catfishing, but I sure do love it! I am here to exchange information and to promote fishing. I have been fishing for many years now. I enjoy loading up the truck in the evenings with my tackle, bait, my dog, and the kids in the neighborhood that are willing to go with me. I enjoy baiting my hooks and just waiting for that bite. Today, I would like to talk about the different types of bait that I use. Catfish love to bite on a bunch of different things. Of course. you just have to try them and see what your local catfish are biting. I would also like to mention that you should try to notice things in the fish's enviroment for natural bait. If you see a bunch of mayflies on the water and the fish are feeding on them, then hey, why not bait your hook with the mayflies and see if the catfish bite. That is just a example. They also will feed on grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, worms/nightcrawlers, crawfish/crawdads, shrimp, just to name a few. You may find something else, you never know until you look. Please stick around for more on baits in my next post, Household Baits. Thanks!

Happy Fishing!

Please, Take A Kid Fishing!

Now this is a message that I would like to share with every able bodied adult. I would like to encourage more folks to take kids fishing. The kids don't even have to be your own! Take your nieces and nephews, your grand children or any child that is interested! It may not seem so important, but fishing is great at reducing stress in your life and a child's life. I would also like to point out that it encourages self reliance within the child. With the uncertain future for our youth, I want my child to know how to go out to the lake and catch fish for his supper if the need presents itself in his and his family's life. Fishing is also a great bonding activity as well. A lot of great memories have been created while out fishing with loved ones. Those memories are very important to children and young adults. It is always important to have great memories to look back on. Now that my daddy is gone to live with Jesus, I have those memories of him taking me fishing and spending that special time with me. Those memories will get me through, until my daddy and I meet again in heaven. I sure hope that they have fishing in heaven. Yeppers, I sure do! So, please take a kid fishing. Those of you who already do take the time to take kids fishing, I adore you!
Happy Fishing!
