Pellet fed channel cats in my pond readily
hits spinners, spoons, plastic worms, etc.
As a kid, I caught many catfish on a Little Cleo
silver spoon. Funny thing though, I rarely fish
but, I went to the catfish pond last week and threw a white H@H spinner without the hook. Got
hits on almost every cast. Put the hook on and caught 3 on 6 casts. Tried it again the next day
and could not get a strike. That evening, the fish would hardly feed on the pellets. It took
a week for them to feed like normal. Maybe, there
was some kind of mass communication that
something was amiss with the lure fishing.
