Wind is right finally, semi live catfish thread!

Gets dangerous trying to deal with the hooks while the boat is trying its best to blow away. It isn’t bad with 3 people in the boat so you have one dedicated to holding the boat. I’m usually solo though.

Keep a knife on your belt or chest where it can be retrieved easily with either hand.

Pure learning question but what does the wind have to do with running lines?

X2???

Good start

Let it get warm and soft, then you can just pull it off and make a ball out of it and place on hook. If its too hard it crumbles. Its still fishing and nothings a for sure thing but I have caught a bunch on it.

My neighbor (old man in his 70s) as a kid and would use ivory soap, we'd drill a small pilot hole in the soap cube to help not break/crumble it. We'd only catch channels on soap.

Finished the evening with about 15 off of the jug lines. Picked up one 5# blue off the trot lines and lost another about that size at the boat after only a 90 minute or so soak. Back at it about 0700.

In for the morning run

Sounds like fun!!

Try some Zote Soap on a few hooks , you wont be disappointed, best and cheapest bait around and I catch more on the soap than live or any other bait. Old man in his 80's learned me about it on lake Tawakoni. I thought he was messing with me but he was right.

We caught 250 channels and blues out of Richland Chambers a few weeks ago using nothing but Zote soap. Fish weighed from 1 to 9 lbs. We have used it for the past several years. If you look for it in a store you will find it with the laundry detergent and not the bath soap.
