Cat fish

Our are has some of the best catfish that I have found anywhere these fish are a cool and for the most part a scavenger,although not all cat fish are scavengers some do prefer live prey and those are my favorite we like to refer to them as flat head or in some instances yellow cats but here another exception a yellow cat does not have to be yellow although most are, there is a mud cat is what I call them which are black in appearance one type of these has a yellow stripe up his side he is a yellow  and is good the mud cat and chug head you don't want ,trust me you don't want these.flat heads or yellow can get huge and are aggressive like a bass.
White cat and channel cat get large as well but normally are not as aggressive all of these are opportunity feeders and eat when they find what looks good to them some of the bait used to catch these can turn the stomach of a  buzzard I mean it can be rough but trust me if you hang into your first 15 pounder the bait and the smell it all becomes worth it .Not all baits are that bad though you can use a verity of worms ,smaller fish,mussel meat ,at times even Ivory soap in bar form so see they aren't that picky .
The time of year helps determine how deep and the temp. it get quite hot here in the summer and they go deep and up against rock bluffs in the cool ,in cooler they can move into shallower water where the flat heads feed on smaller fish . there is no great mystery about these fish the only thing that stops you from catching them is not putting your line in the water so grab your pole and give it a try and even if they don't bite you had a great time.http://www.fishingpoleracks.com
