The Father-in-Law and I have been pulling cats off of the trotlines we have out consistently. I doubt it slows down anytime soon. The lake we fish is not huge, and is not public, but produces decent cats. Enough to keep us full and happy! :D

Excellent catch.What ya having with those fillet's and who cook's? I'll bet it's not the father inlaw lol.
good looking catch froman. congrats
Great mess of fish you have, nice work.
Froman, why not use a pole ? Catfishing is more fun that way .;) Nimrod is full of Channels, they won't leave my Crappie jigs alone this week.:( We will target them in a couple of weeks over baited holes.
I love to fish Trotlines. And theres lots of days I can fish my 100 hooks and have 100+ lbs off them a night.

Lots Of Days We Catch 100 Lbs Over Baited Holes With A Pole.:d Trotlines Are Great If You Are Just Interested In Filling A Freezer.;)
nice looking cats what r u baiting the trotlines with
I can't wait for driving directions to the private lake you're fishing and the GPS coordinates for the trotline ;)
Yes I also have a lot of days my wife and I can and have caught 100 lbs on rod and reel. And not over a baited hole. And that is in 3 hours.Quote:

We feed the fish on holes here and really bunches up the Channels . Most are just eating size up to 5 lbs. Lots of fun when the Crappie slow down. Most I ever caught one morning was 67 Catfish ,but most were released.:D
We need to put stock in Magic Bait, because it's all we use. However, sometimes we do beef blood, chicken blood, chicken liver, cheese, etc. We switch up the flavors but we stick with the Magic Bait pellets. It's worked well for us so far, but man will that stuff make your hands smell like crap!
It's put me on the couch a few times...and if I'm running lines...I ain't gettin nothin at home if you know what I mean. :rolleyes: lol
nice cats good job
Your getting some nice size cats.
