Greetings All;
What a great catfish bite that is going on right now on the Mississippi River. Best part is you do not need any fancy tackle or an expensive boat to enjoy the action. All you need is some nice juicy nightcrawlers, and your in business.
Right now those hungry cat's are cruising the side sloughs and backwater areas in search of an easy meal. Suspend a crawler on a slip float rig about 2 feet off the bottom near downed structure laying in the water and hang on. The catfish are hitting this rig hard so be ready for a violent strike. Because of this, always have your rod in a rod holder or be holding on to it tight. If you leave it lay loose, the fish might just jerk it overboard.
The upcoming weekend weather is not looking to bad so it's a perfect time to get out and enjoy some of the great catfish action that is available on the river right now.
Note: While running your boat on the river there is still floating debris just under the surface in many locations. Be extra careful and run slow. Always wear that PFD when the boat is in motion.
So get yourself a mess of crawlers, head out to your favorite backwater area and enjoy. It's just that simple.
