Catfishing tonight....

In my experience, c livers get slimy and won't stay on the hook once they fully thaw and are in the water, especially since you'd be drifting. Easiest thing has been shrimp unless you are looking to catch some hawgs, then the cut bait might be best

fuck chicken livers unless you want to catch a bunch of 6 inch channels all night

 

go to bilo and get some cheap fresh fish and use that.  tilapia or catfish filets.

 

or learn to use a cast net and get your man card

 

I cast pretty well, but finding shad at night isn't easy on lake norman.

try casting around brightly lit docks

 

i've caught some big cats on farm raised catfish chunks from bilo, but the bite is really slow

 

i just don't like livers because i don't see anything but channel cats pulled in on them.  but they do give a fast bite if that's what you're after.

My buddy used to wrap then in pantyhose to keep them on the hook.

 

Too much effort imo

shrimp is a huge hit-or-miss bait.  works pretty good around the mouth of creeks.   feast or famine with shrimp.   but you could say that about any bait.

 

i like it better than chicken livers that's for sure.

 

i've had some pretty good luck with cheap pork hot dogs too

 

i almost forgot about my goto bait for when i do want to catch a bunch of channels.   garlic parmesan breadsticks from dominos or papa johns left sitting around for a few hours.  believe it or not they will kill that poo all night long.

 

catfish are the stoners of the fish world

    • Please finish this thing off. The rags look like they quit on the ice. Can’t give them any chance 
    • We're about 15th/16th overall in terms of player age and only have 11 players over the age of 29...Not too bad and I was more talking about this incarnation of the team is young. Canales is only 2 years in as a HC and we have young talent to build around. Regardless of what happens with Bryce you can't tell me a team learns how to win by losing a poo ton of games every year. Need to be happy we are currently not a basement dweller at this point in the season like we have been for the last 7 seasons. Even the year we went 7-10 we were 2-7 at this point. We just knocked off the #1 team in the NFC and have a winning record after the first 8 weeks for the first time in over 7 NFL seasons. The team deserves at least a little bit of fan support after having turned a very small corner.
