Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 18, 2012 Root Admin Posted May 18, 2012 Fished Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning out of Bridgeview with friends. Hoped to find some whites and strippers and did find them but were small. Very few whites but there were a bunch of one pound stripers. They were sipping small fish fry- not a whole lot of threadfin shad there. But the stripers were fun. Caught them on small swimming minnows but the best was throwing a set of two 1/32nd oz white or chartreuse jigs with a split shot. Small to match the fry they were eating. Never seen fish surface like that- not splashing, just sipping. Did get into the catfish. Coy's uncle George and his friend Bob fish 5 days a week from March till October. Baited holes, rod and reel and using their special baits. Mostly channel but some blues mixed in. They keep mostly small 13-16 inch cats - best to eat. I wish we had fished with them more... and take more videos. They had a lot of good fishing info and lots of good old stories.

Bird Watcher Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Punch Bait - anyone ever use this stuff? Man the catfish love it! Love that stuff. I used to get some by a "Danny ____" something or other in a white plastic jar with a weird lid. It was my favorite for catfishing smaller creeks and rivers.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 20, 2012 Author Root Admin Posted May 20, 2012 It a type of bait. I'm sure there's more than one company making it. If you watch the video you'll see why they call it that.
