The Mississippi River & Monster Catfish

The Mississippi River & Monster Catfish

Catching Monster Catfish Near the Mississippi River While there are many folks who feel the largemouth bass is the premier sports fish because of its high-jumping and hard-hitting abilities, the locals in the Louisiana area know that the catfish is king when it comes to bending those fishing poles. Many Louisiana charter boat fishing captains will tell you that huge catfish are being reeled in on a daily basis in a number of key spots along the Mississippi River. If you’re looking for a challenge, and you want to haul in a record-size catfish, the following tips will help you land a monster of your own. Here are a few tips for catching a monster catfish near the mouth of the Mississippi River.   Using the Right Type Catfish Bait When you use the wrong bait, you not only catch the smaller catfish, you wind up attracting other species who will take the bait right off the hook before the giant catfish have a chance to show up. If you are looking to haul in a catfish over 10 pounds, you’ll need to be using the best catfish bait you can get. Goldfish and minnows can be purchased at any number of local bait shops that dot the Mississippi coastline. To catch a monster, you want to consider using suckers, herring, or shad, due to their oily nature. To catch the really big fish, go with sunfish, goldeyes, or carp. While most catfish prefer the fish to be live, if they’re hungry enough, they’ll eat just about anything. Good rule of thumb, the smaller the catfish, the less particular they are about their diet.   Leaving the Hook Points Exposed A popular complaint among avid catfish hunters is that they get frustrated when the catfish that bite don’t take the hook, however, there is a very simple solution. Start fishing with the barb of the hook exposed instead of it being hidden for the best success. There is no truth to the stories of catfish avoiding the line if they see the hook. These fish are not smart enough to even know what a hook is, especially when they are hungry. When you hide the hook the barbed end must first penetrate through your bait before the catfish, giving them time to steal your bait and escape. Simply thread your hook through your bait choice three times and leave the point exposed, you may lose a hook or two, but the monster catfish you catch will make it all worthwhile.   Fishing for Catfish Year-Round There is a belief in this region that the big catfish only bite in the summer. Perhaps this may have been started by local fishermen hoping to keep others from hitting the area other times of year, regardless, it is not true. Although summer is a productive time to go catfishing, you could do just as well if not better by fishing in winter, spring, and fall as well. Some catfish in the Mississippi River…

Charter Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico

Charter Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico

Charter Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico Will Change Your Life Have you ever yearned for a new adventure? Something that you’ve never done before and could be potentially dangerous, yet exhilarating at the same time? Well assuming you don’t suffer from Thalassophobia (fear of deep bodies of water) you might want to consider New Orleans charter fishing. New Orleans Deep Sea Fishing is Out of Venice Fishing anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico is great, but when you take a fishing charter out of New Orleans you generally are REALLY going out of  Venice, LA.   Venice has some of the best charter fishing anywhere in the world. If you’ve never been charter fishing you might expect it to be more dangerous than fun, thanks to shows like “Deadliest Catch”. But the reality is, you won’t be fishing in dangerous storms that threaten to capsize your boat, and you most likely will not be attacked by any killer sharks or other deep sea creatures. In fact, most of your time will likely be spent lounging around on the deck, maybe drinking beer or enjoying the sun. Offshore Fishing in the Gulf Louisiana Fishing Although there are many places to fish around the country.  Louisiana is know for fishing.  The states motto is “Sportsman’s Paradise” and most of that is fishing.  With New Orleans Charter Fishing being such a massive industry here – you know they have what people are looking for  That is why people come from all over the world to Louisiana to get some of the best fishing anyone can imagine.  Whether you are looking for fresh water fishing, brackish water fishing or full blown salt water/deep sea fishing, Louisiana has what you are looking for. Fishing out of Venice One of the best aspects of charter fishing out of Venice, LA is the fact that you don’t really need to have any experience with charter fishing to do it. Your Venice Fishing Charter Fishing Captain will be able to explain everything to you, and you can rent all the equipment you need from your charter company. The act of fishing itself is very simple as well. But don’t let all this simplicity and convenience fool you, if you catch a big fish it’s going to be a fight. The fight of your life, even. Reeling in a big fish from the open sea is nothing like reeling in a little crappie from a freshwater lake. These fish are huge, and they fight. Catching the Big One If you’ve never experienced what it’s like to be Captain Ahab battling tooth and nail against Moby Dick, you’re in for a life changing experience. There is nothing in the world that can compare to reeling in the monster fish of your dreams, and you will come out the other side as a different person. A better person, most likely. Heck, it’s likely that there will even be a jackpot pool you can enter and win, provided you catch the biggest fish…
