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

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
