There's a damn good chance I'm going to go catfishing tonight.

I get off work at 10pm. I believe I'll do a little workout and then head out to the river with a couple of fishing poles, a carton of chicken liver, and my .22 rifle.

I wouldn't mind having some filets in the freezer. :D

I'll post up tomorrow and tell you if I ended up going and whether or not I caught anything. Wish me luck.
 
But you're right about the :smash: I dispatch them first with my 4- D cell Mag-lite or a big stick.

Damn straight. :D

A friend's dad just went fishing in Oklahoma and caught an assload of cats on limb lines, including a 50 pound flathead. I saw a picture of it yesterday... :google:

It almost turned me on.
 
when i fish, it's mostly on a pretty large lake (up here in wisconsin). i've always caught cats when i've been fishing for walleyes. but now when i want to catch a cat, i catch all the damn walleyes. all i catch on crawlers is carp, and little stock walleyes are all over the minnows..

Saw in a magazine a picture of two guys from alabama or arkasas holding up a 90 pound flathead that was impaled by two sticks. Unbelievable.

Have you tried the milk jug method for catfishing? put a heavy line on a milk jug, bait the hook and wait for the jug to move around. Fun to do while your fishing regular. pick up the jug and haul him in the boat.
 
These stories remind me of the Fisherman Johnny days at my grandparents farm. best days of my life. Catching snapping turtles with jugs and perch filets is interesting. So is swimming nekkid in a pond with them turtles.
 
lol, to me, noodling just sounds weird. I'm not going to randomly stick my arm in holes hoping a fish will bite it and not something else. I'm just chicken.

What's the matter, this doesn't look like fun to you? :D

And no, there is no way in hell that I would do that either.

My grandfather and uncle use to do it. Said they pulled out a catfish that weighed nearly 100 pds.
 
Fuckin'A Cas...Hope you kill those bad boys.Post us up some pics if you do well!I love fishing for Cats at night.I always attach a bell to my rod tip and stay within arms reach of it.I learned the hard way on that shit after watching a couple of poles shoot out into the water like giant bottle rockets,lol.
 
:elephant: Well, I caught two channel cats. One was about three pounds, and the other was a fiddler, but still big enough to filet.

It was a good time to chill out on the cheap:

Chicken livers: $0.97

Size 2/0 fish hooks: $0.67

Split shot and egg sinkers: $1.50

Cheap-ass flashlight w/ batteries: $1.97

I drove out to my little hometown and fished on the river that borders the municipal children's park. I used two poles. One I cast into a calm area bordering a feeder creek. The other I cast into a deeper part 100 yards away with pretty strong current. Surprisingly, both fish came out of the current. Maybe if I'd gotten there earlier than 2am they would have been hitting in the still shallows by the feeder creek. It's a prime place for them to prowl for food (I've caught 'em there before), but as it was I got my bait stolen constantly. Probably bream and suckers. Anyway, I cracked both my catfish over the head with a big stick and took them home and fileted them up.

I don't have to work tomorrow, so I think I'll head out to a different part of the river tonight and try my luck there. Maybe even haul a little brother or two with me.

I'll run some jug and limb lines later on in the year, but that's a much bigger production that involves hauling a boat and seining live bream out of our farm pond for bait. I'll stick with the fishing poles and the chicken livers for now.
 
Last Oct. i went fishing for catfish at this pond while the DC sniper was loose. Several times, cops pulled up and said what the heck are you doing out so early in the morning. Like i was the sniper or something. Best time was when it was raining or just finished raining. Damn, i hauled in 2 coolers full of them... They were about 3-5 lbs each. Sure was good to filet them and also caramalize them in a hot pot. Nice time to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature.....
 
Have you ever been noodling?

I went the other night. A good excuse to drink beer and shoot guns. We were catching flatheads on live perch and goldfish. By the end of the night we were so drunk we were taking those lantern LP gas canisters and shooting them with tracer rounds from an AR-15, big boom.

LOL!Live perch,those must have been some decent sized flatty's.
 
We usually get one big one a trip. Ya they get up around 50lbs here. The gar were running and really messin things up. We would pull them up and shoot them in the head and cut the line. Those are some mean fuckers.
 
We caught about a 4 footer and pulled him up on the bank and shot him with a .223. These chicks were freaking out because 30 minutes later the fucker started going crazy flopping all the way down to the water.
 
I have few crazy friends that noodle in that river all the time. They said they don't bother them. They said if the hole goes up pull your hand out, turtle or beaver!!

I've done it a few times I was pretty scared after seeing the ones we catch on a fishing rod. They get down under all this brush and will stay under water for like a minute and come up and say "shit there is a big fucker in that hole" ahh summe rin OKLAHOMA can't beat it.
 
I'm going again tonight with my little brothers, but this time we're going to try a better hole. I called them up and have them gathering catalpa worms from our tree right now.

The White River runs through here, but it's pretty close to its origin so it's not very big in this area. Still, this is the biggest hole for miles and you can't drive right up to it so it doesn't get fished much. It slopes sharply into about 25 feet of water, but in other areas the drop is more gradual. We've run lines and pole fished there quite a bit. Caught some channel cats on livers and cut bait and a couple of flatheads on live bream. Nothing really monstrous, but decent sized and oh-so tasty.
