2020 catfish thread

Always wanted to set trotlines, this quarantine gave me a bit of time to put one together, Roughly 200 ft long with 24 7/0 circle hooks with loops for weight at the on each end and in the middle. Plan on using a combination of black salties and live perch, can any of you pro's give me any tips on what to look for when setting the trotline up?

If your fishing a reservoir find a place where you can stretch it close to and parallel to the river channel near a shallower flat. Personally I’m not a fan of black salties but some people swear by them

10/4 Thank you, I should have put this in the original message but I will be fishing a river about a mile from a upstream of a reservoir, going to be putting it out via kayak so I am limited on how far I can travel.

In a river I’d put it along the deep drop off in a bend.

We’re catching them pretty good here on the Sabine River. Running lines and jugs. This eve after cleaning a nice mess I fried up some for supper. Got a few leftover for lunch tomorrow.

Nice job, which part of the Sabine you fishing?

May I ask what they were bitting on?

So I am a bass fisherman and have only catfished in summer by baiting standing timber. This time of year say on Rayburn how do I catch catfish. Lol

Blue Cat on Belton

Missed this thread originally, have been juggin here on Belton and tearing up the blue's. These are from the last couple weeks. 3 fish from 30-38 lbs that were released. The rest of them eaten, given away, or frozen. Caught a few crappie also.

[huntindude]

Trotlines? I only fish rivers but I would say flooded timber will always be good for yellas. Live perch. March is prime fishing for them.

Man I'm loving all the pics in this thread, yall please keep tearing them up so I can live vicariously though you. lol
