Tackle, baits, spots and seasons — a full guide to catching Wels catfish.
Read the guide →Wednesday, August 5
The bite is strong — fish are active. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.
Best time — 01:00–03:00 (nighttime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: catfish clonk with bait or large bottom bait.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
