Hello all I live in Ontario Canada, about 15 minutes from Buffalo, NY. We do have lots of catfish here but they are all channel cats. I have caught them up to about 12 lbs. I am new to catfishing and totally addicted. I was wondering if anyone here has any interest in taking a newbie out for flatheads or blues. Shore fishing or boat I don't care. Night or day doesn't matter. I am not after anyones spot or anything like that. Just want to try and catch something over 20lbs. I am willing to drive 4-5 hours to meet someone and I will not need a place to stay or anything. Just wondering if someone will teach me how to fish for flatheads or blues. For equipment I have: BPS catmaxx MH 7'6" with 50lb powerpro : 7' ml uglystick with abu garcia 6600 30lb power pro : all kinds of terminal tackle I am not looking for anything except experience. I know alot of people will not be interested in this and that is O.K. Just thought I would ask. maka
Too bad you're so far from Kansas City or I'd be glad to take you out on the Missouri River. Some nice fish come out of that stretch and 20# blues and flats are pretty common. Good luck, I'm sure somebody up that way will be able to help you out!
Welcome to the BOC! I would love to help you out however I am in Iraq. You need to get yourself down to southern Ohio/Indiana to catch both good Flats and Blues. If you have not found anyone yet, look me up next spring and I'll take you out for the weekend. We'll have a good time, cant' guarantee any fish though.
Welcome to the BOC Wally. I'm sure one of our northeastern brothers will be along soon to help ya out.
Welcome Wally!! I'll help you out. If you drive real fast , you can make it here in 5 hours (if you catch the lights).
I was out today and got skunked. I am in a local derby here that goes to the end of may. So far the big fish is an 18.4lb channel. maka
Hey Maka, I am from the Carolinas originally but was living in Mississauga for about 2.5 yrs. Took a transfer up north for a while. Are you near St Catherines? We used to go visit Niagara on the lake and other touristy crap while there. I fly into Buffalo some when coming up north as it is cheaper to fly to Buffalo and drive up to TO instead of flying into TO directly. I have been back in the Carolinas for two years but have friends back in Ontario. I was working too much and only fished the cawarthas and Algonquin park.I didnt have a boat while up there. I am a devoted Catfisherman and just bought my boat since getting back. I am not a proffessional and know only what I learned on my own. Email me anytime, eh! Have a double-double at Timmies for me. I have never gotten over Tim Hortons withdrawal. Not available here. Later, Lindsay
