Cold Weather Catfishing Begins...

With winds from the north the cats were on a feeding spree today. We caught 36 fat channel cats, all about 3ft deep under slip corks. See those two cypress trees behind Cathy? Looking back on blog posts from last spring, using them as a fishing log we have caught about 225 cats around them. They took a little break from the shallow water through the summer but now are back.




Seems like the double, each person hooking one at the same time was the order of the day. We did it lot. See those bushes behind me? When the wind is from the south we tie to the trees in back ground of the first picture and catch the cats behind me. Wind is the key, nothing bites here on calm days.







Tub full, a shonuff good mess of cats. Right now we have a pot of courtbouillion, a Cajun fish soup, cooking on the stove. These guys will swim in my belly tonight.
