Bitethis Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Has anyone ever done well Catfishing on Bull Shoals, like around Barkers Hole area, maybe? Was thinking of giving it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Essary Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Catfish? Not a species most chase this time of year around here. Be interested to hear if anyone has any positive input. Personally I would wait till at least march, or 60 degree water.

vonreed Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Most people go down into Beaver Creek arm of the lake to fish for catfish, especially if the water is at a high level. I've fished down there a lot and I've only seen 1 catfish caught from Barker Hole up to the dam. During the summer I wouldn't be surprised to see catfish in there for the cooler water maybe.

Bitethis Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 alright, good to know...thanks. I have caught some big ole catfish in the late fall and winter on Stockton (14lbs and 12 lbs in Dec.), didn't know if Shoals would be any good. I have never seen catfishing happening down there, but thought I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne SW/MO Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've caught a few blues at the pothole, but I wasn't fishing for them and I don't know what the population would be. It's pretty low up that way now. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
