| 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 __________________ WACCOE-MARCHING ON TOGETHER-WACCOE |

| 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. __________________ My new Web Site (The Average Angler) Happiness is Fish Shaped (It used to be woman shaped but the wifes getting on a bit now) |

| 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..... __________________ One man's fish is another man's poissons http://www.deepsea.co.uk http://www.wildtrout.org |
