10 Things You Need to Go Catfish Fishing

Ready to go fishing for catfish? You do not need much equipment, and it will not cost you a fortune. I give you a list of what I believe to be the absolute minimum of catfish gear needed to fish from the bank and how catfish on your platform. Ok, we'll start with what you have.

1 pole 61 / 2 to 7 ft medium / heavy action

FISHING REEL 2, your choice, but if the first time a model of spin casting

3 fishing lines, your reel should be 8-10lbs test line

4 Assorted sinkers, egg and split sinkers should number

5 Assorted bait hoots, sizes 6-1/0

6 Small pack of floats or bobbers

7 The leaders, at least half a dozen 12-24 cm long

8 As many choices here, but suggest a bath of chicken liver and night robots bath

9 small scissors, a need for your line.

10 tweezers, nose are the best. You must catch the catfish

This is the bare minimum and you can not any of you catch catfish. Ok, for a little more than the bare minimum, here are some accessories I like fishing the bank.

1 chairman, is much softer and more comfortable as a rock or log

2 rod holders, a rod with a Y in the works. Mine is the house of the pipe. You must have some way to your bar as you go there for any length of time.

3. Cooler, I have my soda. Mine is very small only 6 cans and a few sandwiches.

Tackle 4, you do not have a large, but you need something to store and carry your address in

5 Stringer, if you want to keep the catfish you catch it.

6 Lantern, easier to handle your equipment in the night like a lantern. Turn it off, as if you do not need.

7 Glow sticks, you can before the end of your machine for about a dollar and they will work a few hours

Gather everything in advance and you can run it from your car to the bank in one trip.

Now it is time to implement your platform catfish. I suppose you have the coil on the rod and line through the eyes on the rod. Compensation Slip 3.5 oz egg sinker on the line. Tie a 12-18 "on-line with a Palomar knot. Simply the leader, but instead of the hook as shown. Clip your hook on the leader and bait the hook.

You're ready. Players in the water and wait for the catfish to bite. If you have a glow stick and do not want to hold your machine all the time to reach the top and you will see as a snack. Do not be discouraged if you do not take something from your first trip. Catfish are very good at stealing your bait to reel in every 20-30 minutes and check your bait. If the blood by the liver change. Cast back in a slightly different place. GOOD LUCK!
