Best Beginner Method for Eater Cats - 09/26/19 08:16 PM
What method and location would you recommend to a bass angler that wants to begin catching catfish for the fryer? I'm not looking to target trophies or for people's favorite hole, I just want my wife and I to catch some for food and have fun.
My experience with catching catfish (called hornpout where I'm from) has been at night from the shore with bait on the bottom. We never put a lot of planning into those trips. We grab a cooler, a lawn chair, tackle and a lantern then sit outside trying not to get eaten by mosquitoes. I'm open to investing a little bit of money to get started on cast nets and some rod/reel combos. Thanks for any advice you guys are willing to offer.
