Ohio's Channel Catfish: Lazy Summer Days & Nights
Where are the
Channel Cats biting? fishing, or throw in some ‘stink
bait’ for the cats to bite, whether homemade (form a mixture of cheese,
decayed meat or minnows, animal blood, oats, flour, and anise into small
balls) or commercially prepared. Remember catfish aren’t too picky: you
can try night crawlers, animal entrails, frogs, grasshoppers, clams,
crayfish, and also artificial baits, such as plugs, spoons, jigs, spinners
and plastic worms. Remember catfish have small eyes compared to many other
fish, so think big, colorful, and smelly. Keep your bait geared to the
size of fish that you’d like to catch.

Channel
catfish are feisty In this lazy late summer weather. Channel cats spawn
from mid to late June and are hungry and actively feeding after this
period. Their vigor picks up from July until September and they can’t stop
eating. Being light sensitive, they’ll feed mostly at night or following a
rainstorm. Why are these cats so hungry? It takes a lot of food to build
the large size that some of these fish attain. Some channel cats live as
long as 25 years. The state record channel catfish taken from La Due
Reservoir was over 37 pounds.
