Wind is right finally, semi live catfish thread!

[Rwc]

Doing the same on Lake Waco starting today. Snails, night crawlers and ghost minnows are what's going on the hooks.

Best of luck to yall and hope you fill up the boat.

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.

Ahhhh ok makes since

You need a eye of somekind to put the hook in, and a cleat to throw a couple hitches around. No different than working lines solo, in a a river. Apron lines anyway, where current is involved.
Good luck !!

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.

Might be true, but won't beat live bait for catching the best tasting freshwater fish not called crappie.

I've heard that enough over the last couple of years that I just ordered 4 bars off Amazon and will put it to the test in the next couple of weeks!!

Walmart and most grocery stores carry it in stock. Just FYI for anyone wanting to try it. It does work.

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.

How are you warming it up?

I could never get it on the hook the last few times I've tried.

I've used it on treble hooks. I'm not sure how good it would stay on a single hook

Put in on the dash of your vehicle in the sun, and it will soften with some heat

This semi-live fishing thread hasn't been very semi-live.

Poke it with a stick and see if it comes back to life.
