How To Use Catfish Baits Properly

There is a huge variety of catfish baits. Catfish have no specific food preference, they eat nearly anything although they bite better on specific things. If you are up with NOT catching big catfish, are you sure that you’re utilizing appropriate bait?
Before acknowledging the kind of bait you will be using, the type of environment where you catch them should be considered. If you have an effective bait and immerse in the water but the area where you go fishing is not a good spot, the time you spent was useless.
This type of fish has no definite characteristic; however, they are fond of hiding. It is necessary to gain knowledge about the bodies of water where you will go fishing and discovering the areas where they usually keep themselves.
If you go catfishing, keep moving together with your rod and reels. If you detect a sneaking fish on the surface, grab and toss the freshly prepared shad head. Situate yourself in an area with a good current. Give a maximum of twenty minutes in a certain area. If you can’t catch any, then, it’s time for you to relocate.
If you are up for a catch, immobilize the bait. Try to minimize unnecessary movements, make sure that it is stable and steady. You can have a large catch if you have the appropriate tools and the ability and the efficiency to fish like pro.
One of the best occasions to do catfishing is when waters from the lake rise due to flood water. Catfish will rush through the freshly washed area and look for feed. Make use of the chopped bluefill and shad head in fresh preparation.
You can go catfishing anytime, however, it is recommended to go fishing late at night and early morning. What’s the difference? The circadian rhythm affects their location. At daytime, they rest in deeper portions of the water. When night starts to fall, they rise near the water surface for feeding. During rainy and cloudy days, expect a good catch. Due to elevations of water level, spring and early fall are the best season to fish for channel catfish. These are instances when catfish are highly active and catching them will often be very easy.
For game fishing, catfish would surely give you the fun and exercise you want. Try to work on different locations when fishing for catfish. There are different types of baits. Freshly prepared baits include cut shad, bluegill, perch, chicken livers, small frogs, night crawlers and many more. If you use these items and you haven’t caught anything for almost twenty minutes, try a different spot.  Go with the flow of gulls. They can help you get a good catch.  Examine Foucault currents (also known as Eddy currents); make sure they are not a deterrent to your fishing. When they are in search for food, they go from shallow to deep areas. Always remember: You should look for catfish, don’t let them search for you. You’ll be more successful if you do this.
