Tarheel now that you know what kind of bait to use and how to label your noodles,The main channel just south of Long Island is a very popular location for " juggers" although I don't catfish I see guys doing it all the time. The pros seem to set them out late at night after the boats are off the water and pick them up before they get out at 10.00 am the next morning. Both sides of the island has a deep channel and flats to both sides of that channel . As I hear from the Pros the female blues have just finish their spawn and have left the beds so they should be hungry. I also hear the flatheads have just started to spawn so they will be close to ramps, overhanging banks, placed to hide in general. Again I don't fish for catfish so this information is just a repeat of what I have heard from the Pros.

I can tell you the (noodlers) those nuts that dive down and reach in and grab them have been pulling 20lb fish from the above mentioned hideouts. Seen it myself.
