So here in about two weeks I'm gonna try and take my kayak down below possum kingdom to hopefully catch some catfish and striper. But I have no idea how to target catfish in rivers, especially small rivers like that stretch is.

I'm probably going to start my search in the river bends and locate the deeper holes with some wood in them. And I'll be using shad and bluegill of course!

What other kinds of information could you guys give me?

That sounds like what you need to do. Have fun!

If you can get some big gizzard shad pull the gizzards out and fish them on the bottom for some eater channels. Shad gizzards are some of the best bait there is for running water.

Get some bait before you leave and put it on ice. That river is a one throw kinda place with a cast net, one throw and it's gone.

For sure! I may stop by hubbard creek and check it out while I'm there.

My Grandmother, an "PapaShorty". Caught tons of Cats. Out of the Pecos River. Close to Carlsbad;
N.M.. With that bait.

I've caught a lot of good striper there over the years. Beautiful place no doubt. Spending time there is true medicine reguardless if one catches fish or not.

I will be that way the weekend of the 14th with some buddies. I used to do the trip with my dad every summer as a kid and have some great memories! lookong forward to wetting some lines and having some good times with good friends.

I've been planning on going around that time. PM me, I know where to catch bait there. We'll catch some fish.

Like the weekend after opening weekend of deer season.

I'd jump on that offer.....

I will be there the weekend after opening weekend

Awesome man! If all else fails, you can always catch dink striper with a couple keepers mixed in.

Sounds like a good ole time. I'll be there hopefully the 11th and 12th.
