Catfishing

[K_smitty74]

Hey guys!

 

my buddy and I are heading down from Omaha Wednesday night to stay with his parents and fish from Thursday-Sunday morning we do have boat access and will be planning to spend nearly all our time on the water. 

 

I I know that most of you guys spend most of your time chasing bass and crappie but we will be mainly targeting catfish any tips, spots or hot bait? Most of the time we will likely be using night crawlers and bluegill as bait but I figured I'd stop by and ask some of the local experts if they'd be willing to throw a bone to a couple of out of towners to help us land some big flatheads or channels!

 

any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

 

thanks guys!

Welcome K,

 I don't fish for the whiskers much on TR, but I know it is loaded with them.  Here's a good thread I found here for ya.  Good luck.

i fish arond st.louis  where the missouri and mississippi confluence is and we catch alot of blues but those flat heads are hard to find there but one time i went to the rock and these guys  were staying at the same resort as us and they put out 20 hooks on a trot line with bluegills and they caught over 100 pounds worth of flat heads in one night  it was pretty impressive to see

Table Rock is loaded with flatheads. I've seen more up the James River arm than anywhere but that could be just coincidence.

I caught some last summer trotlining around Kimberling City Bridge and up into Aunts creek near the state park.  It wasn't a lot, but they were consistent.

So did you end up catching much?  Or was you just a one and done poster?
