Black Bayou Benton Catfishing 1 June 2018

It's still kind of slow, or we've missed it. We only managed 8 rod and reel bites before dark and only boated half of those. Three were a perfect pound and a half keepers and then this one...



She jerked the rod clean off the deck of the boat. Laurie wanted to go swimming anyway because it was brutally hot...

I'm hoping to run some noodles this week and see what happens after dark.

Mike,

Are you using chicken liver for bait? I know last year I got into the catfish pretty good out there on rod and reel in July.

That's a nice looking catfish Mike and them pound and a half ones are good fried in the pan served with taters and hush puppies and pork and beans and some sweet tea.  

Now that's something I haven't done in a long time noodling at night. I sure miss that.

We use cut bream. It's part of our process, Laurie loves catching a few bream to use as bait LOL. Liver and the prepared blood baits you get at Academy work great too.

I just posted in the BS'n thread, the catfish were the ones harassing me instead of the other way around two days ago. I was using old Italian sausages I found while cleaning out the fridge and caught a ton. Two rods and reels, as soon as I'd get one hook baited and back in the water the other rod would start jumping around.
Yesterday, same spot, same bait, and NOTHING.

I've got a couple places on Black Bayou that I can always catch one or two. But I have a couple places that you either stay so busy you can't keep up or your whistling in the wind. Weird how it works but they can be as fickle as bass.

No sir. I was actually going to try and take the boys this week but it didn't work out. Maybe next week.
