Your best catfish bait? I will be relocating to Eest Texas (Tyler) soon and I like to fish at night and was wondering what bait I should use or if here is a preferred bait for that area. I fish all kinds of cats and like yellow cats the best and I’ll be shore fishing and NOT trot-lining. Also, any Texas cat fishermen here want to clue me in on fishing at night?

Hey all hope you all are having a nice holiday weekend. I’m stuck at work here in Tyler Tx and have this coming week off. I just got a call from my uncle who wants me to come down and check out his new cabin he bought on Toledo bend lake (Texas side) a few months ago. I am planning on heading down there on Tuesday to get some fishing done. My Uncle is is new to the area (not much a fisherman) and says he doesn’t know what to fish for this time of year. Advice suggestion?
Thax

![strange things when fishing](http://www.cupidfish.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/strange-things-when-fishing-300x211.jpg "\\"strange")
Strange things seen when fishing or on the water? I have seen many deer swimming across a open lake to get to a small island. Another is an Indian (Mexico) family fishing a remote lake from a ponga boat with no rod, hand-lining some mono and a spinnerbait trying to catch enough to feed the family. The Indian family was living in a makeshift tent on the shore and had a freshly killed deer hanging in a nearby tree. Truly odd to see this in the 21st century. It was like I had gone through a time warp and ended up hundreds of years ago.
On a trip to Texas with a friend, we came around a bend backing into a small cove and there were four huge wild hogs taking a swim. We all laughed but we continued fishing the cove leaving with a big grin.
How about you telling your strange stories here.

Hey all I was looking for some Corpus Christi Fishing advice. I’ll be fishing the Corpus Christi on (Bob Hall) Pier and possibly do a little surf fishing. Any Texas anglers care to share some advice/tips on how to catch a lot of good, sizable fish? Are shrimp and squid good for bait? Also, what are the regulations for catching and keeping shark in Texas? And are there any tips on how to set up my line? Thanks ahead of time and please include extra details? By the way, I see many people using a circular net to pull their fish out of the water from the pier and I just can’t find out what they’re called, got any ideas on what I’m talking about? And has anybody tried the Gulp! Alive artificial crab?- Sorry for so many questions as you can tell I am a bit excited. Will- Dallas TX

What are the different types of crappie in Texas. I am new to the State and live on Sam Rayburn Lake and yesterday I was fishing in freshwater and caught a fish that was about 1.2 pounds, 8 inches and looked like a crappie or huge bluegill but was blue and it had a red tail. if anyone can help me figure out what it was I’d greatly appreciate it.

Hey all new to the site and had a question for you pond/small lake owners or regular fishers. I live on a 2 – 3 acre lake that is shaped like a “P” in North Texas. Let me describe the pond. It is shallow and a little more then 3 feet around the edges and 6-15 in the deepest part of the lake. The water clarity is low with plenty of algae, so about 2 feet visibility at best. The bottom is dark, blackish leaves that coat all of the bottom. There is zero vegitation that I know of in the water. But there are loads of sunfish, some crappie, an shad, and lots of 5-10lbs catfish. I know there are largemouth bass in the water because I caught one on a small rubber shad. I have also been told be several neighbors that they have seen or caught some bigger 3-5lb bass in the past.
Now with this information, as the water warms, what lure should I be using? I have tried several different color jigs (red, blue/black, white, silver) without success. I have tried shallow running crank baits and some rattle trap lures without success. Any advice would sure be appreciated.- Thanks Mike

What is your favorite way to fishing rig, besides the three most popular rigs: The Texas Rig, The Carolina Rig, and the flipping rig. The Carolina Rig is a bit more complex than the Texas Rig, but if you only had to pick one what would it be?
Thanks-Terry
P.S. Also, what are the advantages of a Carolina rig over a Texas rig.

Hey all I am from Texas and thought I’d join and check things out here at cupidfish and ask a question now that my home lake will become overgrown in many areas with thick lily pads and hydrilla and is some what of a problem for me every year. The lake I am fishing is a power plant lake, and summer is my hardest time to fish it because my fish finder can’t see deep structure. Because the lily pads seem my best bet. Could some one please help me figure out a good method to fish these seemingly impenetrable lily pads, but I know there are fish in them. What would you recommend, and do you have any other tips for this lake during summer? It only has two docks, and it is characterized by tons of stumps and its a fairly small 2,500 acre lake if that helps. -Regards, Rich in TX

What is the correct method on hooking a minnow while fishing? I honestly don’t know what I am doing wrong when hooking a minnow because they die really fast. Over the weekend I bought a bucket full then went to the lake and every time I hooked a minnow it was dead within minutes. I think it would just be wise to switch to dead bait or lures that I am use too. Any advise for me? Thanks in Advance- Bill in TX

I live close to a nice lake in Central Texas and last Spring as it turned to summer the lake became overgrown with lily- pads, and weeds. So my question is, how well does a Texas rigged worm work, when dragging it on top of lily pads? I need a weedless apoach to catching the largemouth bass in the lake! Any help or technique tips would be appreciated.
