Details: Brown Bullhead Catfish, channel catfish with a furry thang. 4/0 big gun catfish hook.
Went again tonight fished for bass up until about 6pm then switched to catfish. I fished two rods both on the bottom one with a single 4/0 straight shank hook, and ...more one with with a dip sponge on a 4/0 circle hook. I used a 3 way swivel with a 1oz weight on 6ib test and hooks on 17ib flourocarbon. I baited the simple hook with a large single night crawler and baited the furry thang sponge with dead red blood spray then added a single small night crawler to that hook. I cast both lines out at roughly the same distance within about 10 feet of each other I wanted to get a good read on if the dead red stuff worked. I had a little trouble figuring the bite out but once I did I caught 6 fish within about 45 min they were all small at around 14-18inches. I caught one brown bullhead and five channel catfish. I released all of them. What surprised me was the fact I caught all but one on the furry thang with the spray. I never have really believed in all the catfish gimmicks but this one really seemed to work and at the least improved my catch. All in all it was a decent evening bank fishing at a state lake and I and my buddy enjoyed ourselves even though he got too cold and sat in the truck the last hour or so. He came out to help me pack stuff up before we left I had him reel my second rod in just in time for him to catch the last one so good times...
