i caught some nice cats in the gulf states ditch before HF, they like stinkbait on that river i think......

[huntin fool]

that stink bait dont wanna stay on my hook. i may try running some jugs in GSD.

[huntin fool]

cat daddy what do you use for bait for your jugs and trot lines?

[Reverend Redfish]

where is the best place to catch some good catfish in the Lafayette area? Everyone tells me the Vermillion River, but I have to tell you - I will NOT eat anything from that sewage river... What's y'alls thoughts?

[LaAngler]

there has to be some big ones in the basin, catching them would be the trick, i caught some by accident in butte larose on nightcrawlers last year. i fished a small canal just a couple minutes from the launch.

cat daddy what do you use for bait for your jugs and trot lines?


If i want to catch some Flatheads (opps). I use something live.. Espically live bream. If an Opp had any choice of bait..... it would be a live bream.

If you want blues and channels, they like almost anything but I find they bite the best on mullet fillets, red carp, and bream (dead or alive).

All this information is whats happening in my aera where I fish, It may be different in your aera.

Im not greedy, and will gladly take anyone that asks on a catfishing trip for free, BYOB. Sometimes i catch 3 or 4, but most of the time I come back with 1-200 lbs of catfish.

Some parts of the Intracoastal are salt. but not in my aera. I can fish intracoastal and catch Bass, Cats, sac-a-lait, reds, shouopic, bream.. almost anything but trout. Its brackish.. you need to come check out my home waters one day.

I run mostly limb lines. I do have about 120 jugs that i run pretty often. On a good night i will run all my limbs and jugs when i can find enough bait. i also have alot of trot lines, that i dont use very often. I usually set my lines out and go pole fishing till im ready to check em.
