Catfishing two days ago

[Skammer]

Fished the north branch of the susky, about twenty miles down river from where Jiger Jim was fishin, two days ago & caught a few cats. Biggest one was 29 in & 10 lbs.

Nice cats! What is the temperature of the susky river???? The mighty allegheny was up to almost 40* last weekend.

It is nice to see others are out catching fish this time of year, I have been stuck with daydreams and memories here in frozen Minnesota.

Nice looking fish, I am sure it was a blast! Thanks for posting!:thumbsup:

We findly missed a snow storm this week, we only got a dusting up here. I guess you guy down east got hammered today. But it's still cold here, I spent the day on the ice yesterday. Poor poor day I guess because of the full moon. I did manage two Shinner's for Catfish bait.

Burrrr I give you cedit as I certainly wouldnt venture out in that temp. Nice looking pics of the fish thanks for posting.

Skammer, those are some really nice winter catfish. What type of bait were you using? Do you use the same things in the winter and the summer?

Cut bait seem to work winter & summer. The cats I posted were caught on cut bait from some bluegills from ice fishin. Fresh caught chubs from the creeks can't be beat for summer cats.

Skammer, those were some nice cats. I'm from central pa. and don't get any farther east than Lewistown usually. Didn't think the cats would be biting yet. Of course I'm mainly a night fisherman, so its still a little too cool for me yet. Do you ever get in to the Juniata river? Or does anybody? I'm looking for some new spots closer to the center of the state and would appreciate any advice anyone experienced out there could give me.:)

tbartek - Welcome to the B.O.C.!:0a25: I don't fish out in the area you are inquiring about but there are members on here that can help you out!

I myself fish mainly the North Branch. As far as to early go's I've had some good day's in the daylite already this year, but I also had several bad day's too. I know Skammer is doing late after noon into the evening. I dont fish that much after dark only because I have a problem with balance, it's an age thing. I would say if the river is up and a little dirty your missing out on some good fishin, give it a shot.

I'm hoping after we do inventory at work in a week and a half i'll be able to get out. I stoped by the local creek the other day and it looks like they just stocked it, and it's cruddy with trout. I'ts nice to see since the creek dried out a couple years ago and it looks like life is finally comming back. AND i finaly got a boat, so i'm getting REALY anxious to do some fishing this spring! I'm glad to see someone's hitting them already!

[upsmanrichie]

That gets me excited seeing someone do so well alredy. I was thinking about going out for a little bit today to see whats happening. I just can't wait any longer, I've been going crazy ever since groundhog day. I'll post how I did later on today or tommorrow. Wish me luck.

Wow what a nice catch. Just one lil channel here, but still had a great time. Best of luck and take lots of pics to share.
