GLASS CAT
Catfish make great trophy fish. Most anglers usually want to snag that monster blue catfish that is over 50 pounds, but everyone knows that it isn’t all that easy. The bigger the catfish, the harder it is to tempt them with bait; after all, they got that big after experiencing the thousand natural shocks the flesh is heir to. Some have gotten that way from too much catch and release; others have seen and experienced noodling first hand. That sort of thing has made the average monster cat bait shy. So how do you catch that kind of catfish? Here are a few tips to help you improve your cat-fishing techniques.
It is a good idea to fish in a lake or that area of the river where the fishing has not been commercialized yet. You will find that it is harder to catch bigger cats in the commercialized zones. The cats in these zones have likely become over-cautious and avoid biting.
Take a good rod with you. A 7 foot long graphite and fibre-glass rod will do just fine. This way, you’ll be ready to pull in the trophy cat, if it does take the bait. Too many fishermen have lost their prized cats because their rods broke in the battle.
What is the supreme quality expected of a good angler? It is patience. You must hang in there even after being ignored for twenty minutes. Persevere. If you don’t get a fish in a half hour, move to a different spot. It is important to remember that the cats come out to play only when they can smell your bait. This might take a while.
Learn to set up the rig right. You will find more information on the subject in my other articles. A transparent line is a must and so is a roll weight. The hooks need your careful consideration too.
Catfish love cut up fish bait. They also fancy chicken liver. Look up my baits articles for more information on the subject.
Which season is the best for hooking catfish? Why, summer, of course. But I have seen some really good fishermen get trophy fish in winters when all of nature goes into sluggish hibernation. The cold water forces the fish to hide near the banks. This information can come in handy to an expert angler who is looking for them that time of the year. In truth, for the patient fisherman, every season is a good season for cat-fishing.
The tradition says that you ought to go fishing for catfishes at night. And most times it is good to follow protocol and fish at night, but some men have fished out some really huge cats even during the day. You just need to figure out where the fish hide to get a good haul. Look under the stones and broken bones. Forget the tired metaphor; you need to look under the logjam and the dams. You’ll find them hiding wherever there is cover from direct sunlight.

I have had glass cats in a couple of my community tanks. I have never had any feeding issues with them. They would readily take crushed flake food as well as feast on live brine shrimp. But the store bought “Tetra Min” flake was the staple of their diet. They are a timid fish so try feeding your other fish on one side of the tank, and then add a little more on the other side to allow them to feed. As they get used to the tank mates, they will fend for themselves quite well. I had several that would dart right into the middle of all the other fish to get their fair share.
