If you have ever wondered about how to catch catfish, then this article is for you. In this article, I will be presenting a couple of essential tips for how to find catfish, and what bait to use to entice them to strike. Setting jug lines and using the old rod and reel are the two typical methods of how to catch catfish. But what bait to entice them with, and how to find them are the two tips that are crucial, at that we are going to be talking about today.

Being able to find the catfish will be your most pressing challenge. If you can just find the areas of your lake or rive that have drop offs, submerged trees or stumps, points and other breaks in the structure that will hold fish. So really the catfish don’t worry to much about the season, they are going to be looking for a meal. I can’t remember the last time I went out jug fishing and got blanked, and I am not sure if it has ever happened.

Last is the catfish bait and which kinds you should use to catch them. Catfish are essentially scavengers, but as the grow larger, they tend to lean toward mostly fish diets. If you really want to catch the big ones, you’ll need to start using perch and shad. Use live if possible. Keeping them alive is sometimes difficult, and if they wear out, you can simply cut them up or slice them to get some scent into the water. For guys wanting fast action, put some blood bait or chicken livers on the end of the hook and toss them out there.

Catfishing is the art of mastering the location of the fish and enticing them with the right bait. I hope you have learned much from my catfish fishing instructions, and will come back for more great stuff from me.
