I just got back from Texas to visit some relatives, and while fishing for catfish at the local lake the wind was killing me. so, i decided to try a small jig below a bobber. after about 30 seconds after my cast hit the water i hooked a small 8 to 9" channel cat. I continued to catch 7 in a row all small with the largest barely over 12". Has anyone else caught catfish on lures consistently? If i could catch catfish in my pond with lures that would be awesome. Do you think if the cats forage were limited to only fatheads or other minnows etc. they would respond to lures better?
thanks for your opinions.
