Catfishing is fun! so I wanted to share how I do it.

Supplies

Medium circle hooks

Minnows

Catfish leader

Strong fishing pole

Flashlight

Step 1: Prep Your Pole

Tie the leader to your pole with the strongest knot you got. Attach your hook (if not already attached). Cut your minnow in half ( I also like small sunfish ) and put both pieces on the hook.

Step 2: Casting

Tip: rivers with small rocks and not many bushes in them are best because you are less likely to get stuck.

Wait till dusk, you will have better luck. Put that leader as far out as you can get it.

Step 3: Waiting

Set drag on low and prop up pole so that you can see when the tip moves. Wait for movement, when the tip pulls

and then looses slack start tightening the drag then wait until it pulls again and set the hook.

Step 4: Bringing It In

Bring it in swiftly. When you land him try to avoid touching its dorsal and pectoral fins because they have spines. DO NOT put on a clip stringer, just use a string one.

Step 5: Ending

Filet it (or them) and fry it (or them) up. Enjoy!
