Here’s my first post on CouesWhitetail!
I love to catfish and try to get out whenever I get the chance to between my work and school schedule. All the catfish that I’ve caught have been at community lakes when they’re stocked. I want to start going out and targeting bigger catfish at places like Roosevelt, Pleasant, Bartlett, etc.
I see a lot of people using boats and kayaks to drop their live baits in the lake. I don’t have a boat so I’m stuck on the shore. How do you cast from the shore without losing your live bait?
The other day I was out fishing and decided to try to cast a bluegill from the shore. A very soft, smooth cast and the bluegill was off my 8/0 hook and airborne. Any advice for a rookie?
