Pomton Lakes Night/First Catfish !

[Mikew36]

Hey guys, me and my buddy headed to Pompton Lake with a mission. To land my very first catfish. I did a little research and found cat fish like the deeper "channels".

Since we don't have a depth finder I took a stab at it and guessed that the area near the bridge by the island, that had little to no weeds would have the most current, therefore the deepest channel.

I don't know if all that's true or not but we found the catfish within 5 minutes of dropping lines!! We caught 5 small bullheads altogether on live medium shiners and very dead chicken livers

P.S. - Sorry for the crappy photos !!

Nice little catch buddy. Good stuff!

Congrats on your first! Way to apply some old school figurin' to catch'em up. No fancy smancy technological advances in modern science needed here!

Nicely done!

Nice Yellow Bullheads. Those are good eating, too.

I learned the hard way not to put my fingers in their mouth. Those Bullheads have surprisingly powerful jaws.
