Thread: Baiting Up a Catfish Hole

What's the program? Sour Chops or Corn by adding water and sugar, after it starts to stink real good, then how much do you put in the water and how long until you fish the hole? How deep an area do you choose?

Hey did you check with Jr to be sure that wasn't his hole.

Why would he need to do that? Already slipped in and gps them according to another fishermen baiting while he was fishing. No different than sneaking in on a man's deer stand over a corn feeder when you know it's there.

That's alright, I already know right where some good established catfish holes are at! Public lake so see ya'll there!!!!!!!!! Thumbs Up

That makes it legal to chute him in our neck of the woods you don,t bother a mans wife,kick his dog,use his deer stand and fish his crappie/catfish hole or tell about his whisky still ethanol still know without written permission if he does you can chute him just a code of the hills in the Ozarks don't know about the ouachita"s Thats What my grandfather said and what he said goes!!!!!

No, I'm not serious about purposely fishing a place that a guy has spent a lot of time, money, and effort to make himself a good place to fish. I doubt that I'll ever convince NIMROD, but the guy who's baited hole that we stumbled upon the evening before believes me when I said it was purely by accident that we even found it. Crappiekeeper and I had been picking up one or two nice cats a day trolling the green buoy side of the main river. So has a lot of the other Crappie.com folks. Well, Crappiekeeper's son was coming up that Friday afternoon for the first time since CrappieKeeper had moved up here. We're really trying to convert him from Green Carp fishing so I told CrappieKeeper That I had a sack of feed that we could take and "If we caught a catfish we would bait right there for the next morning and try to get Jarod on some good catfish action before we started crappie fishing."
Well, By the time Jarod called and said that he was almost here CrappieKeeper and I took off and picked him up and we came back out. It was getting late and the sun was already starting to set as we were flying back out to the river channel. With it getting so late and "Conway" had told me that He and his kids had done real well recently on the Red buoy side also, I just decided to shut it down and fish the Red side in what little time we had left.
CrappieKeeper put a minnow on his jig and I baited and handed Jarod a pole and before I could even get one for myself they both had real nice cats on. I netted them both at the same time! So, I threw a buoy fished on down a little until we ran out of good light so we poured out our feed, GPSed the spot, and left. Since then I have talked with the guy who fishes there, promised him I would not fish there as he is fixing it to take some folks out there, and have since removed the coordinates from my GPS.
Although he did not show good sportsmanship and was visibly upset he constantly accused me of knowing right where our friend baited. If I knew it had been heavily baited for a long period of time why would I waste pouring 10 bucks worth of feed there??
I was slow trolling a river edge with stumps and there was no way I was not going to get past it without catching catfish. That's probably how half the cats are caught slow trolling up here.
To set the story straight, I totally by accident, stumbled onto this spot. It's a good friend of mine that keeps it up and I would never fish his hole with out his OK.
I hope that NIMROD can step back and look at the situation and see how easily this could happen. If it's on a drop-off or stump line someone is going to eventually find it. I know right where NIMROD's favorite catfish spot is, seen him there many times, and yes, I GPSed the structure during the recent drawdown. But, I have not one time, wet a hook there.
I know the hard work that goes into making good catfish and crappie spots and I respect that.
Sorry about the lengthy explanation but I felt like this was starting to get all blown out of proportion with local accusations and PM's that I've been told about.
NIMROD, I'm sorry if you can't believe me but that's the way it all came about. I know that Kena is in the hospital sick and we hope that she gets well and can return home soon. Now let's get back to planning for this great Fall Camp that we're going to have here in September!!

Shoot in my oppion u didn't do anything wrong.
