Post by: buckhorn2 on December 20, 2009, 09:46:01 AM: We went to lyons ferry on the june 5 hunt wa catfish trip. I fished with a buddy and bearman Rick and we killed them. We caught 70 some catfish in two days most around 5-6 pounds but a couple 10;s. Rick tried it from the bank Rasbo but ran right into some rattlesnakes so we stayed in the boat most people were fishing walleye.

now we're talking :chuckle: Only a few guys made it down there last year. Hopefully more can make it this year. Last years thread has a bunch of good info and the guys that went did well. I'm thinking about March or so we can get serious about planning this thing.

Post by: Woodchuck on December 21, 2009, 10:04:36 AM: i usually use nightcrawlers and or prawns, have caught some from the bank, some lucky guy may tie into a sturgeon out there as well, but yes, be aware of the snakes, there are a few, i will volunteer to help as far as planning goes, i am pretty local. for the right price i can show off the hot walleye hole right there :chuckle:
Title: Re: Catfishing
Post by: TeacherMan on December 21, 2009, 04:46:34 PM: Stump has been doing okay, health hasn't been the best. Neither one of us have been on much because life just gets to busy.

Title: Re: Catfishing
Post by: the shootist on February 24, 2010, 10:20:05 PM: This is the first time I've even herd of a catfish tourny around here. A friend once told me he did well out in front of the the park at central ferry I think but don't know for sure. He was catching them where the channel cut through during the middle of the day, Does that sound right? Also I had a friend bring me some channels once and I staked them then put them in a brine, and smoked them like I would salmon, and man those things were so good it would make you slap your grandma!
Title: Re: Catfishing
Post by: shoot-em-dead on February 24, 2010, 10:44:11 PM: I caught one of those things on the snake last summer and tossed it back. I told another boat and they were upset with me. I never tried it and will probably just save the next one for someone at the dock.
