Nice man. Good to see another catman, so many other fishers I know are snobbish towards me because they don't see catfish as a challenge, what they are forgetting is how fun it is. I mostly do channel since thats whats available.

MOFO!!!! mmmmmmmmmm

**wascaptain5214** · 08-05-2007, 03:46 PM

**Red Ketchup** · 08-05-2007, 04:50 PM

Around here it's mostly smallmouth bass, lake trout, walleye and pike.

The lake my country house is on has mostly bass.

Im going to spend about a week on the river bottom after my classes get out. I'm going to set lines and trotlines for Flatties, plus pole fish to. I cant wait its going to be fun.

getting in the water and catching catfish with only your hands. They hide in holes in the mud and you can stick your arm in there and grab them.

**wascaptain5214** · 08-06-2007, 06:17 AM

i aint got the balls to noodle, down here we got gators and turtles that hide in holes. i put out these home made cat fish traps.......they make a home in them and i snatch them up!

**Red Ketchup** · 08-06-2007, 02:45 PM

How do these traps work?

**Ejuicer** · 08-06-2007, 03:22 PM

I'm heading up to lake nipissing here in ontario to do some musky fishing later in the month. Lots of walleye, perch, smallmouth/largemouth bass and pike there as well.

Noodling is when you actually go into the water and feel around in holes on the bottom and under logs waiting for a catfish to bite down onto your hand so you can grab it and pull it out of the water.

**wascaptain5214** · 08-06-2007, 05:48 PM

red.....the vents are closed on one end and open on the other, the cat fish thinks its a log....they go inside to make a nest, they can swim in and out as they want, but once they lay there eggs they say in it. the opened end is tie off to a stump. you just pull up on the rope, the cat doesnt try to get out, they want to protect the nest. so really its not a trap and you dont need a traping license. if you notice my traps are old and rusty....they like that. for big cats you can use barrels, but me, i like the cats in the 2 to 15lb range for best eating.

**abstrack** · 08-06-2007, 05:54 PM

I love me some fishin. A whole day at the lake is better then a half day at work any time of the year.

**MegaFace** · 08-06-2007, 06:57 PM

good to see so many who like fishing

**wascaptain5214** · 08-06-2007, 08:40 PM

all this talk about fishing got me excited.....called one of my fishing buddies......we are headed out in the morning. going for specks in vermilion bay....said he limited sunday. if we do good i will post a pic

**PEWN** · 08-06-2007, 08:52 PM

the traps look small.... do you have dif sizes man... i saw you said 2 to 15 pounds but i can not see a 15 pound cat in there...

**wascaptain5214** · 08-06-2007, 09:34 PM

i got different sizes, i use 24 and 12 inch black drain pipe for the larger ones, but mostly i use 6 inch a/c duct vents. what i like about this type trap is that you can leave them in the water without checking them often, he cats dont die like in a slat trap or hoop net or even trot lines.

**lightwaytbaby** · 08-06-2007, 10:18 PM

just got back from the fla keys, some of the best dolphin fishing around!

Wow, thats pretty cool! Thanks for explaining, I really had no idea one could catch fish that way.

15 lbs fish? Wow... And I'm happy as a pig in shit when I catch a 5 lbs bass!

(of course a 5 lbs bass fights you like a damm shark! but thats half the fun

)

**rubix6** · 08-07-2007, 12:46 PM

I looovvee fishing!! Fly fishing is the best

**Red Ketchup** · 08-07-2007, 06:27 PM

Fly fishing I never really got into (well, never really tried seriously), but it looks like quite an art.

I guess thats gonna be on my "list of things to do when I have time"

yea ... we would catch some in the mourning on trot lines put them in the cooler with ice... and they would still be alive that night when we got home ... amazing...
