Catfish Fishing Tips : First off we'll start with what kinda tackle to use ... 2/0 eagle claw baitholder hooks are hard to beat catching catfish on rod&reel. They seldom miss a good strike from a catfish and if you keep them sharp they'll almost set themselves. The reason I use small hooks rod&reel fishing for catfish is basically so that I can use a small bait and they bite better it seems like if you haven't got a pound of metal stickin outta the bait ... they hook better too ... loading the hook up with humungous amounts of bait or very large cut bait will catch you more turtles or unwanted strikes by gar or some other non-target fish in Keystone tailwaters. In certain areas it's best to use large bait but in some areas it's useless and it affects casting. Casting large bait with surf rods defeats the purpose ... the largest bait I can throw well is medium to large shad heads which I throw quite a bit lately. I've caught the majority of catfish in my life on one inch long by 1/4 inch wide strips of shad or some other cut bait if they weren't biting on shad. Grasshoppers are most of the time the best bait you can use behind Keystone Dam but they're seasonal. They don't come out good until 3rd week of July around here. The largest fish I've ever caught was on a 2/0 baitholder and a grasshopper ... it's picture is on the main page. 51 lb blue. I also caught a 22.5 lb blue that night plus a limited out with 16 blues and channelcat weighing between 2 to 10 lbs not counting the two bigger ones all caught using one rod and grasshoppers on 2/0 Eagle Claw baitholder hooks in about 5 hours so if you think these hooks are too small consider all the fish I catch just about are on this sized hooks. Blues are considered channel cat in Okla. but what we call channel cat don't usually get much bigger than 12 lbs or so but I've caught one that was 18 lbs the world record is something like 58# or 59# ... world record blue is 111# world record flatcat is 123#. Channels or what we call channel cat have a more narrow mouth and have kind of a greenish color and retain the black specks on their body until they get over 5 or 6 lbs. The channel cat that we call blues get much larger "up to 100 lbs". I think the record is like 96 lbs in Okla. River Fishing Fishing rivers I've kinda slacked off as I usually don't fish anywhere but keystone but fishing rivers there's just one or two basic rules I live by ... use bait that is natural to the fish ... using store bought bait will just lead you to disappointment .... that stuff is just a way to get your hard earned money and you won't catch any fish but maybe one or two the whole day unless you use it in a farm pond where the fish are being fed regularly by the landowner. It's always best to fish structure upstream from brush piles/log jams or rock ledges. Fishing in wide open areas is okay just as long as the water is rising from a recent rain. For jugline catfishing I like to use a hook that I'd never use for rod&reel except in extremely fast moving water and those are large Kahle hooks .... they're a weird looking hook and a person will miss a lot of strikes on them with rod&reel but for juglines they're great ... they hook the fish really well on juglines and have kind of a cam action and will twist around and hook blues several times when they twist and thrash around ... I like to use shad heads and whole perch on juglines.

Catfishing, Bluecat are my main target fish and you can't catch many blue catfish on prepared baits ... channel catfish are a little different as are flathead catfish. Channelcats will feed off of prepared baits more so than Bluecats or flatheads but there's not nearly as many of them as there are blues so fishing success will be even worse catfishing prepared baits or commercial baits as there's gonna be a lot of fiddlers and just a few quality fish that may bite on these ... flathead bite mostly on live bait ... I've seen them caught on worms quite a bit and cut bait at certain times here lately have produced a lot of flathead for me during and just after cold fronts moved through ... don't ask me why cause I haven't a clue, but most of the time you have to use live perch or other live bait to catch flatheads. Don't try goldfish ... I've seen goldfish used for over 5 years and never seen anything caught on them but gar ... now you guys that catch catfish on goldfish and catch fish on them don't go getting upset now cause this is just what I've witnessed ... use them if you want to and I'd suggest everyone try things I say that don't work and email me your findings with the type of area you used the things in question. Here's a posting I asked if I could post by a man that fishes tail waters like I do. He explains stuff better than I do and I never intended to offend anyone or say that I'm a better fisherman than anyone else. If these writings offend anyone that is not the purpose ... this is an info piece to help beginners and experts alike. If you catch plenty of fish and have the bait experience you are happy with then I am not trying to change you or suggest that what I say is better than what you do ... this is just an opinion page written by someone that hasn't used manufactured baits for near 15 years so I don't know how great or not so great the newer ones are. Read this with understanding that I don't use prepared baits any longer and most likely won't try the new ones either ... not because I know they don't work ... because I'm pretty much at ease with what I use now and that's whatever the fish I catch has in it's stomach if I can catch one or two to find out. I don't have to do this in places I'm accustomed to fishin as it's pretty much the same all the time. Just different presentations occasionally work better like shad heads vs. shad fillets or whole live shad. Don't seem like it'd make any difference but it does make a lot of difference on certain days.
