Catfish Course Day #4, Goldfish?

Hi Fisherman,

44 days ago, when you signed up for my catfish fishing information, you'd never have guessed I was going to tell you to try something so absurd... but you've got to hear me out on this.

Today, I'd like to share something with you that is very important to remember when fishing for catfish.

My wife likes me because I'm "different". I've got a wacky sense of humor, I NEVER fold my underwear (now really, what is the point of folding your underwear?), and I like to sing her a little Sinatra when I'm taking a shower.

But I'm not "too" different. I'm still a nice guy, I care about people, and I treat her right. I'm normal enough to keep her sane, but different enough to keep it interesting...

...and catfish look at bait in the same way - the bait has to be interesteding! Here is what I mean.

You see, if everyone out there is using the same bait, like shad... and there are shad all over the place... if something a little "different" is introduced into the mix - it will get a lot of attention. But it can't be too different. (for example, don't throw a plastic worm down there)

So, if everyone is fishing live shad - toss in a nice fat goldfish! I'm serious! Remember in a previous issue I talked about how having lively strong bait that lives a long time is so important? Catfish like their bait hoppin, and goldfish are one of the sturdiest baits there are.

And...they are different! So not only are they lively enough to get the attention of a catfish but they will invoke the "curiosity of a catfish" because they look so different then everything else around...

It's all about adding tidbits to your catfish fishing repetoir to use in special situations, and I just gave you another one to put in the bank

Now, if you want something that's going to take your catfish fishing to a whole new level - you've got to try my Catfish Fishing Secret Weapon. I know you're probably tired of me bringing it up, but I'm only doing it because I have never seen anything so effective for swarming thousands of bait, and hundreds of catfish.

Did you know that catfish fishermen all over the country are using it year round?
That's right - it works in the winter, spring, summer, and fall - with equally good results. (Heck, there are even guys up north using it successfully for ice fishing)

It multiplies the effectiveness of mother nature's natural food chain, right in front of your eyes. You're sure gonna like this:

Here's part of what Michael Hafer said about his experience using it for minnows to catch crappie...

-------------

"...After about 10 minutes there were probaly 200-300 minnows swimming in a circle around the "secret". My friend put a seine in the water in front of their route and brought up a dozen or more each time. I went back to the truck and got my rod, and I am glad I did.

I rigged up one of the minnows and began to fish. This is now about 25 minutes after we started. Now there are too many minnows to count. I fished the edges of the bait and within 5 minutes I caught a nice crappie. We estimate that by now there was well over 1000 minnows just circling..."

"Dan,

Last night my friend and I used the Catfish Secret Weapon for the first time. All I can say is WOW!!! Here is how it went. This is all absolutely the truth and can be verified with my partner.

We were planning to go out on the lake on Saturday night, so we decided to go out Friday night and see how it worked on baitfish, and hopefully fill up on minnows for the next night. We did not have much time and all of this happened in the course of about 45 minutes.

We went to a boat launch area and put the "secret" in about 6' of water next to the dock. I turned it on and within 2 minutes minnows started to appear all around the spot.

After about 10 minutes there were probaly 200-300 minnows swimming in a circle around the "secret". My friend put a seine in the water in front of their route and brought up a dozen or more each time. I went back to the truck and got my rod, and I am glad I did.

I rigged up one of the minnows and began to fish. This is now about 25 minutes after we started. Now there are too many minnows to count. I fished the edges of the bait and within 5 minutes I caught a small crappie. We estimate that by now there was well over 1000 minnows just circling.

At this point we started to notice noise of minnows jumping out of the water around the edges. We could only attribute this to the game fish coming in and chasing the bait.

Next, within about 10 minutes I had 2 good hits that I missed setting the hook, (my fault - I was too busy watching the school of bait fish circling below) Then we noticed the time and decided to wrap it up. We had about 100 good 2"-4" shiners and we said one more cast. This time about 1 minute and something nailed my minnow so hard it bent my rod seriously and pulled the knot off of my hook. (Next time I will remember to check that before I cast)

During this someone came in off the lake with a boat and said he had been out for about 4 1/2 hours and had hardly a bite. I did not have the heart to tell him how we were doing.

I would have to say this "secret" really works and will definitely be a part of our tackle for fishing and catching bait for many years to come."
