ANALYSIS OF MY 2005 CATFISHING TRIPS

my boatand car

The spring and up till mid-May I did not have any cut bait to use. I therefore had to make do with some unusual baits. This included tuna blood vein, deep fried chicken skin, seasoned cooked and raw steak. Once I did get some shad and skipjacks they became my main sources of bait.

    Over the year I was SKUNKED 8 times. That is one thing I want to reduce next year. I normally fish around 4.5 hours per trip. I believe if the fish are biting that will give me plenty of action. If the fish have lock jaw that day then, I pack it in and head home. I do hope to do better than 2 fish per trip in 2006. I intend to stock up on some more skipjacks for my freezer during February and March. I already have some packets of shad in the freezer, so will have cut bait for my early trips in the spring.
