How do you fish for them? Best bait? etc.
Off of Ft. Belvior we used to use worms to catch perch or spot and then put them on a hook and through the line to a flat bottom location or into the channel with a lead weight of course. Good times!

......I dare you to eat a DC catfish once a week. I assume you care about your health and wouldn't.You do you. This is like one of those warnings about treated lumber being bad for you. Yeah, if you happen to eat a whole deck! Eating catfish once a week won't hurt anyone.
It's not like they're 50% mercury. The amounts are so small It's barely a trace amount. It'd be perfectly fineI wonder if they could be ground up into fertilizer or would the same issues be a hazard to the soil.
We tried eating them, yuck. They were ok if you were really hungry and had nothing else.Old wives tale,,, 20 years ago I drug home 3 skates,,, the wings have a brown textured "meat" ,, like the gills of a crab,, and tasted about the same.
Bloodworms on a treble hook sprayed with WD40. That’s how we did ‘em in Texas.How do you fish for them? Best bait? etc.

I used to live on a creek off the Magothy, near the headwaters. Occasionally under the boat lift, in the shade, I'd see a dozen or more catfish, all probably a foot and a half long. Pick another day and it would be carp. Pickerel/muskie types were typically 1-3 fish at a time.They also have Snakehead fillets quite a bit there.
Chicken is what you put wd and food coloring on.I use cut bait or chicken breast on a simple bottom rig.
Same as below either straight in a bag for later in the week no more than two or in a block of ice in at Tupperware container. And it gets eaten in two weeks or so.Can you elaborate? I was going to hit the blue cats hard this year and vacu-bag and freeze.
Bad idea?
Must be them "Lead Bullets" deer hunters use!!!There are signs on the Potomac just south of the WW bridge that say " only 2 servings of fish above this line a month are recommended". Iive always laughed about that. But if you don't think there's a problem with the water, here's a few goldfish we've shot that may make you think twice. All of these were hard tumors around the stomach area...
No B.S. - I think the best bait for Catfish is RoFo chicken but I do hear that fresh eel works very well.How do you fish for them? Best bait? etc.

And Blue Catfish is worlds away from Chanel and Flathead Catfish as far as taste goes. It's not even close. Blue Catfish also grow at an incredible rate so a 5lb Blue should have less mercury and PCB's or whatever than a 5ln Chanel or Flathead. At least that's what I've been told!
