Cheez-ITs Worked This Round!

Could not pass up a chance for another round at the Bruisers at Bethany.  Went with a simple Telescoping Fiberglass Rod, braided line, and a hair rig.  Baited up with Cheez-ITs, chummed with Saltines and Cheez-ITs, and then caught a few Catfish including two Bruisers!  One Bruiser went 25.5" and the other went 25".  Even better, liked how the Telescoping Fiberglass Rod could handled (muscle) them to shore!  Posted both on the COAF Fishing Leader Board since they easily made the 15" minimum to submit.

Saw Catfish Feeding on Crackers, So....

Saw Catfish feeding on crackers that people fed the ducks yesterday.  Noticed the crackers needed to float for the Catfish to strike.  So, modified a hair rig that we used for fishing boilies to take a cracker.  Used Cheez-ITs this round and managed to catch a 20" Bruiser Catfish and little Catfish.  Missed a lot more though.  Need to use Saltines or Cheez-ITs that have a smaller hole in them.  Next round will see if that makes a difference!
