Went out yesterday with my buddy Tom, and my cousin who is staying with me for the summer while he is out of school. We ended the day with 25 very nice catfish. Nothing too big, but required no trimming of red meat. Most beautiful white filets i have seen in a while. We came straight home and fried em up! Our limit was 30, we hit 25 quickly but then they just stopped. Never got another bite. It was a great day fellowshippibg with friends and family.

Still fishing the river ? I usually trim red and yellow off all Channel Cats

These fish came from merrisach lake. There was not the usual red meat on these fish. And a slight yellow tint to the very top quarter inch of the filet, but I never trim the yellow. In my opinion that is just the color of channel cats meat. It doesn't have a bad taste as far as I can tell. The red meat does tho. But these cats had none!

Nice!! Them old cats are fun. I'll be on the White IF it ever goes down.

This is true! Seems like that aint gonna happen ahahahahah.

I will be down there after them Fulton Blues this fall. Normally fish between Goose Landing and Lagrue Bayou area. Nice cats Lowe!

Let me know when your down! We can get together!

Can't figure out where the big ones are here on the river in Dardanelle but can catch them by the hundreds here . River limit is 10 any Catfish plus 10 Channels under 16'' per day. Four of us can limit (80) out everyday in under 3 hours . Every try baiting a hole on the backwaters ?

Holy crap!!! Thats alot of catfish!!! That would be awesome! I have never fished dardanelle but gonna soon! :)

Lowe I sure will. Just got my White River Permit Hunt Application in the mail too btw. I normally only apply for the Quota Modern Gun only down there. Its Nov.14 thru 16 this year. Im on duty at fire department on the 15th so maybe I can get off?? Like pulling teeth on my shift. Anyway October and November are always good to load up on cats if river is right so shouldn't be a problem to get down there a few times.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but what do you guys use for bait?

I am fishing small lakes and strip mines in Illinois and cannot seem to get on catfish.

No problem man! Chicken livers on a light wire hook.

Good catch!
