Bachler Party

[bigjmm]

Heading to the Loup Canal for my party gonna try to catch some big ones any tips on where to try. on the canal i was to outside monroe at the powerstation thing any suggestions

[fmb]

congrats 1st of all and for fishing the canal take some no roll sinkers or just a LOT of sinkers

for bait I've been using chubbs, sunfish (cut and live) and bullheads (cut and live)

don't forget the beer :smile2:

[bigjmm]

dont worry the beer will be there but where are the sweet spots do you know any good ones

[fmb]

I usually fish between headworks park and the first siphon. and unless I was there with you I couldn't show you my good spots(just to hard to describe)

but anywhere on the canal will produce catfish if you wait long enuff.

where are you driving from?

I went to the headworks with some friends one time. We weren't catching anything so I took some concrete string, hooks, and bait and went down below and fished the river instead. Needless to say I kicked everybody's butt. I ended up catching enough to throw a fish fry for 25 people. I kid not that was probably the best set line trip I had until I went down the blue last year.

[bigjmm]

I am from Norfolk and this may be a stupid question but is a set line illegal? i still new to the big time catfishing world

[skawez]

on moving water.. creeks streams rivers etc.. but not ponds lakes or res. state county or fed owned or even private.. only on moving water thats the law here in NEB.

[bigjmm]

well im back from my party and we caught a couple of nice channels and i hooked into a cat that bent my swivel straight and i wasnt using very small swivels. but all in all had a great time.

Welcome to the BOC. Glad you had a nice fun trip an congrats on the catch. Maybe you'll return sometime an get the one that straightened your swivel.
