Greetings All;
Spent the earlier part of the day backtrolling nightcrawlers in the Mississippi River backwaters of Pool-13. What a great time it was. Was using a simple, homemade spinner rig with a small salmon egg hook. Attached some of my "Homegrown" nightcrawlers and the catfish were eating this rig up. Hook the crawler once through the nose end and as you troll it the crawler stretches out and the catfish seem to love this setup. Try and troll with the bait a few feet off the bottom for best results. Simply troll the backwater areas near structure and hang on. The catfish hit this rig very hard so make sure you are holding your fishing rod tight. You can also use rod holders if you prefer but I like the hands on method myself.
There is a great catfish bite going on so hopefully you can get out and enjoy it. By the way, the above mentioned method will work in all pools of the Mississippi and other rivers that contain catfish.
Well, the deep fryer is up to temperature and the fillets are breaded and ready to fry so I have to run for now. Bet you can guess what I'm having for supper, LOL.
