Fishing for Mudcat, Catfish, Channel Catfish
In the heat of summer, the catfish are biting.
From big muddy waters of the Grand River, catfish can be caught most anywhere, especially after dark. So, at about sunset, get your buddies and your beer together and head down to the river.
Stop along the way at any tributary creek and catch a mess of chubs for bait. Some people like to cut them in half and let the entrails hang out, others prefer live ones – they make more noise wiggling on the bottom which attracts the catfish from miles around.
Anyway, get to your favorite bend or eddy, get out the lawn chair and bug spray and chuck a chub. Sit back, crack a coldy, and wait for that familiar tug on the end of your line.
