The wels catfish has a long, supple and somewhat flat body which lacks scales and is covered in slime. Its head is short, flat and comes with a remarkably wide mouth which houses lines of small teeth. The dorsal fin is short and set far forward on its body, the anal fin is exception...
The first thing you need to know about catching catfish is that there’s more than one kind. You wouldn’t use the same tactics for a Steelhead as a Lake Trout, so knowing which Catfish you’re targeting is key to success. There are three main species of Catfish that anglers target ...
Some of the biggest catfish I ever caught involved bait that had sat in the sun for three months. So there, you have it. With the way the world is now, I’ve found that having a skill like this becomes increasingly valuable every day. ...
Probably not doing a long (by my standards, not yours) read if I can help it. Didn’t keep track of first and last card of the year (and I’ve got 8 days on last card), am genuinely unsure of what the coolest thing I’ve gotten in any or all of my hobbies is without researc...
t let this fool you, though. These predatory, sharp-fanged fish are real powerhouses. They’re able to grow up to 8 feet long and are capable of scorching runs that can reel off hundreds of yards of line within seconds. Yep, it’s easy to see why Wahoo fishing is pretty legendary ...

Sweet potatoes are my favorite in terms of taste. It’s good right out of the oven, it’s good cold, and it’s also good after a week in the fridge. It can also be used as a dessert (try adding cinnamon and almond oil!). The main disadvantage is that it takes a long time to...
below the woodland behind me, casting long shadows across the water. If conditions stay like this there just may be a chance of some early action. The downside is that I have been scanning the water in front of me for ages and there have been no signs of small fish moving or ...
It’s important to have enough line on the reel so that you will be able to make a long cast.[5] If you overfill the spool on a spinning reel with line, then the line will jump off the reel. If you overfill a baitcasting reel, then you will hear a weird sound when you ...
If you are using the Roe or the corn, simply push a couple of pieces onto the hook just past the barb. 5 Cast the fishing line slightly upstream or into the current. A good rule of thumb for trying to catch visible fish is to go 20–50 feet (6.1–15.2 m) downstream and cast ups...
