Catfishing in the dark...

[windcatcher 0]

So last night three of us went catfishing in the dark and canoed around a lake to find a cove where the catfish were hiding. It was a little scary at first, not being able to see much, but it was absolutely beautiful! The lake was calm, the skies were clear enough to see the stars, and the lights from houses up in the woods twinkled through the trees. Course, we never even caught ONE fish, but oh well!

Anyone else go catfishing? I would like to go again---chicken liver good enough for bait?
I also need to catch some crappy fish ( did I spell that right? )--those are one of the best tasting fish IMHO!

Crappies not Crappy

Damnit, now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day long!

Quote

Lazy yellow moon comin up tonite,
Shinin thru the trees,
Crickets are singin and lightning bugs
Are floatin on the breeze
Baby get ready.....

Across the field where the creek turns back by the ole stump road
Im gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
Well be fallin in love in the middle of the night
Just movin slow...

Stayin the whole night thru, feels so good to be with you...

Spring is almost over and the summers come
And the days are gettin long
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along
Baby get ready.....

And it dont matter if we sit forever and the fish dont bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo.

Repeat the chorus (x3)

You and me going fishin in the dark!

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Crappies are ok. Trout is great. Salmon's the best!

I was thinking the same thing.

I love that song.

I'm a southern girl raised on southern rock & country music. But, I love everything.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I thought it was spelled croppies- "dang ol, crappy, crappie, croppies!"-something Boomhower would say

Ever heard of Grabblin? thats when people actually get in the water and use thair fingers for bait! then grab onto the sucker & wrestle it into the boat...there's a video out called "Girls gone grabblin'" They're kinda cute too!

Yes.............used to take my boat fairly often on Kentucky Lake and the Cumberland river. Sucks dodging barges on the river at night though.

Yes Despite popular belief catfish bite all day long. It is just nicer to bait and wait at night with a nice fire and a few cold ones (O'Douls for me).

Watching the Moon come up shimmering across the lake....Just as you start to relax WHAM! Your pole slams to the ground as you scramble to catch it before it is dragged off to the murky depths...Your heart racing as your line is screaming..just knowing you just hooked a 20lb'er... Holler for your buddy to get the net as you try to keep it away from the rocks and certain freedom for the "cat" and certain Mockery from your buddies because it ain't a catch tell it is on dry ground.

Like Catfishin'.... HELL NO I LOVE IT!

Oh and my favorite bait is Chicken Liver but Shrimp (make sure to ask the meat dept for bait shrimp MUCH cheaper) and even worms work. Never had much luck with the pre packaged stuff.

I like fluffy flounder fishing.

"chicken liver good enough for bait?"

Just plain hot dogs work for me. I've got a nice little pond next door - bait's usually in the water for 10 or 15 seconds before they are biting like crazy. Unfortunately I have to rely on the stupid one to actually get hooked- the rest just steal the bait!

Edit: 'course, I don't know a damn thing about fishing. Just pop that hot dog on the end, drop a line in the water and hope something gets stuck on the hook.

Killing threads since 2004.

go to wal-mart and get something called hog wild. It smells like ass but if you dip some old shrimp thats been left out in the sun for a couple days in that shit you sould catch something. just make sure you don't get any of that shit on your clothes!!!

I've just been informed of the secret bait to catching fish---cigarette butts! The hubby and his friend Doc were fishing earlier, and Doc wasn't catching anything with regular bait---so Chad wanted to prove he could catch more fish than Doc, and he did---using cigarette butts!

Anyone try that one?
