Catfish at Anglers Paradise

Hello,

My Family and I are heading off to Anglers Paradise around mid August and being from Northern Ireland it will be the first time that i will have had a crack at catching a catfish. I would just like a bit of help getting started:

I have read on forums and books about halibut pellets,boilies and meat being fished on a hair rig tight against the bottom, I would have probably opted for a deadbait but seeing they are not permitted i will have to scrap that idea. I was just wondering is this right way to approach this species or do i need to do something different.I was hoping to do a spot of night fishing for them as i reckon that will give me the best chance to catch one, at least all the fishing programs that i watch on tv seem to make me beleive this.

Truthfully im really not confident about cathing one as i dont have the knowledge of the species so any help will be apprecieated,

Blackwater

Re: Catfish at Anglers Paradise

I caught my first Catfish last Tuesday after work on a 15mm hair rigged Halibut Pellet coated in Halibut paste together with a PVA bag full of Halibut Pellets.
It was my first so I am hardly an expert at catching them but it shows they like Halibut Pellets and can be caught during daylight (well early evening light anyway).
Good luck and let us know how you got on.

Talking Re: Catfish at Anglers Paradise

I caught my first one last year. Having spent two nights fishing for Cats, this one was caught around midday in scorching hot sunshine on a bunch of worms... One can only assume Catfish don't read rulebooks.....

Re: Catfish at Anglers Paradise

Sorry not for letting you all now how i got on at Anglers Paradise My computer has been down since the end of August.

Unfortunately i did not land any catfish in a 24hr session but i did enjoy the experience.

I did catch plenty of carp up to 8lb and golden tench to 3lb.

I will be reporting on Anglers Paradise Within the next week

Cheers,

BW
