The secret to catching catfish is location, equipment, bait, time of day and technique. If you are fishing the wrong location, then you are probably not going to catch any cats. The big ones are deeper and the smaller ones can be caught in shallower waters. The cats are not going to come to you, you need to find where they hide. The idea of fishing cats is intriguing. You can catch some big cats if you have all the right properties in order. You need the right location. Use a map of the water to see where the deep water holes are and where any drop offs are located. Big catfish are not going to bite a small minnow. It is not going to fill them up. The big cats go for bigger baitfish. The baitfish has to be something that gives them more than a nibble of food. I read about a man that caught a 147-pound catfish with a big fish head on a forty-pound test line with a sixteen inch braided lead. This was caught in deeper water at a drop off in the middle of the lake at night. He made the world record book. The secret to catching the big catfish is all in the timing, presentation, location and equipment. If you hook a big cat on a ten-pound test line, chances are you are going to lose it. Use the right length rod and a spinner reel. These are just a few thoughts.
