Hiya,
I'm sure most of you know about the huge fishing tournament here in the US next week. Yep, it's a big Catfish contest, held this year in Mississippi I think. Years ago I usta participate, until I got stung by a catfish. Yeah, they have little pointed fins that they inject poison into whatever gets in it's way. Heh, that was me one day.
Anyway, I almost died (very common reaction) and now I gotta be careful not to ever get stung again. There's no record of anyone surviving a second puncture.
So, these fish don't like lures. They prefer something stinky like chicken livers or rotten cheese, presented on a hook laying near the bottom. They swim by and suck it into their huge mouths.
However, there's a guy on ebay who finally created THE lure for fish with whiskers like catfish, bullheads, carp, sheepsheads, and a bunch of others. Yeah, these long coarse hairs stick outta their chins or around the side of their mouths. Some of em look a little like David Niven. Matter of fact, the 'wels' catfish swims in your neck of the woods...a delightful little fish.
So I bought a lure. I may never use it, but I can see why this would attract certain kinds of whiskery fish types. See what you think.
