First CATFISH of the year!!! Pic added..
« on: April 08, 2012, 08:26:50 AM »
Been hitting the river hard over the past fews weeks and finally got into a catfish. The water is still awful cold but the good bite should be on here pretty soon. As for bait, lets just say I use the biggest worm!!!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

i was told once they catch them at horseshoe lake in kitsap county but i dont know it for sure. anybody know where to catch em for sure in kitsap or mason county ?

best bait for them in california was always liver after you let it bake in the sun for a day or so.
