Hints for Better Catfish Fishing

Catfish, like all fish, are not randomly distributed, but are congregated in particular locations. Fishing success will depend on your ability to find these concentrations of fish.

Light tackle catches more fish, but heavy tackle is required in snags and structure when catching large fish.

Catfish can be caught year around.

Use dead minnows or cut-bait in the late winter and early spring when the water temperature is between 35-60 degrees F.

Use prepared cheese baits in the summer when the water temperature is above 70 degrees F.

Cheese baits are most effective on fish 10 to 16 inches in length.

Live bait is best for larger fish, those above 3 pounds.

POND

A pond is a body of standing water, either natural or man-made, that is usually smaller than a lake. A wide variety of man-made bodies of water are classified as ponds, including water gardens, water features and koi ponds; all designed for aesthetic ornamentation as landscape or architectural features, while fish ponds are designed for commercial fish breeding, and solar ponds designed to store thermal energy.

Standing bodies of water such as puddles, ponds, and lakes are distinguished from a water course, such as a brook, creek, or stream via current speed. While currents in streams are more easily observed, ponds and lakes possess thermally driven microcurrents and moderate wind-driven currents. These features distinguish a pond from many other aquatic terrain features, such as stream pools and tide pools.

Some mills use the kinetic energy of the moving water in the pond to generate electricity.
