22LB 0OZ CATFISH

Chris Dixon weighed in his very first Catfish this week with a beauty at 22lb 0oz. Fishing from Steve's Swim on The Old Carp Lake using Mainline Pro-Active Pineapple 15mm frozen boilies, the Catfish took a liking to the bed of pellets and boilies fed out resulting in this fantastic capture.

Anglers tend to ask the best advice for catching Catfish and the honest truth is that carping tactics are eqully effective if not more effective than conventional Catfish methods. Catfish have been caught on tactics such as halibut pelletsand frozen squid, but the majority of Catfish captures are due to fishmeal and fruit frozen boilies designed for Carp. A strong braided hooklength is always recommended but 15mm frozen boilies are most definitely the best way to catch Catfish.
