Catching catfish in North Florida

Catching catfish in North Florida

A great article in Florida Game & Fish Magazine, about catching 'Mr. Whiskers' in North Florida Catfish Hotspots.

From http://www.floridagameandfish.com/fl_aa060904a:
 
Florida has a reputation as one of the best states in the country in which to catch largemouth bass and, to a lesser extent, bluegills and black crappie. (...) For pure dining enjoyment, however, there's probably no better freshwater denizen than the different species of catfish that populate the rivers and lakes of North Florida. Channel catfish, white catfish and bullheads are plentiful, while an occasional blue cat and even flathead catfish also show up. All of them are fairly easy to catch.

If you want to do a little catfishing this summer, there are four North Florida waterways you should definitely check out. These are the Suwannee River; the Ochlockonee River and Lake Talquin; the Apalachicola River and Lake Seminole; and the Choctawhatchee River.

The article lists many tips and tricks, such as staying away from hydrilla, finding areas where the depth is 10 to 20 feet, finding the correct bait (shrimp, Asian clams, wigglers, red worms, live bream etc. depending on the situation and the target), and more.
