Jug catfishing below Lake Houston Dam
Texas Fishing

I went with a friend to Lake Houston dam last night, we were fishing 🎣 with noodles baited with shad. The first noodle we tossed out was going under before we got the second one set, and it was on for a couple of hours. We ended up keeping 13 blues ranging from 10 lbs to 5 lbs on average, we kept 2 smaller ones 1 to 2 lbs but released a lot of them that size. Also caught about 20 needle nosed gar of various sizes up to about 30 inches which were all released. We saw some Raccoons working the shore and about 10 to 15 gators watching 👀 😀 us. Here are a couple of pics 📸 
Didn't even have to hold them out to make em look big lol 😂

What a spectacular night on the river! Lots of good eating with a fine catch! Yes...those deep fried fillets make you want to reach into the screen and grab one to dip in some tarter sauce!
I think I would be a little nervous having alligators watching me in the dark...I hope that the area was well lit!

No lights at all except ours, the gators don't bother us and of course we don't mess with them. It's illegal to mess with them anyway, but who in their right mind would want to besides swamp people 🤔 🤣

Awesome catching Mark! They look delicious buddy. I don't know about night fishing with gators though, but I guess you guys know what you're doing.
Thanks for the pictures brother. Jun 9, 2023 23:21:26 #

Wow, what a terrific night you guys had, Cam! And with tasty results! Congratulations! I only occasionally target cats but am not familiar with the approach you and your friend used. Sounds really intriguing. 😼🐟🎣😎

It can keep you busy
We make floats with pool noodles and 1/2" pvc pipe, use twine for a drop then tie 50 to 70 lb mono about a foot apart with three sections for hooks, bait them with shad, throw them out and wait.
