oneshot Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Ok went over to the Dam Worms in Hand plus few Jigs to catch Dinner.went over on East side on Dock just down from Ramp.Throwed Worm way out and Started throwing White Jig. Had bite on my worm reeled it in Small Catfish throwed it back.Throwed Worm back out.Throw Jig some more.Bite on worm,Small Channel,throw it back.Decided Jig wasn't getting anything and I was hungry so decided if its Small Catfish so be it! Fishing caught what I considerd Small Blue?? Into Basket.Then caught pretty good size Channel but lost it because I left my Net at Home.Went ahead and caught 3 more Blues?? and left. Ok people are calling these White Catfish but I'm still thinking Blues.They had the Straight Fins and Forked Tail like Blue? Plus on that side are you allowed 10 Channel Catfish? And I enjoy fishing over there because of ease of getting to the water,Toilets,Water and place to just set and Rest. Its 25 miles there from the house same distance it is to where I go at Pomme de Terre and chance I think of getting Bigger Fish. Oh I have Bigger Gear for the other side. oneshot
Wayne SW/MO Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 They have called them white cat as long as I can remember. I know they aren't true whites, but they have always been so light they looked like them. I think with the exception of the stairs the east side is also a good place for us oldtimers and they catch a lot of crappie and white bass, when its time, over there. That old channel has always produced a lot of crappie at times. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
MoSportsmen Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I thought there was no such thing as white catfish. White cat is just another name for Blue cat, local hillbilly vernacular. Messing about in boats
oneshot Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 I thought there was no such thing as white catfish. White cat is just another name for Blue cat, local hillbilly vernacular. There is a White Catfish in the East,it is more like Channel Catfish than Blue. oneshot
oneshot Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 What gets me on the East Side is its so hard to get down to the Water and being Handicapped it would be easier to use Handicapped Pier but when Fish are Biting its always full plus it takes two people to get a fish in. But this is getting away from OP. oneshot
