Hey guys. So I’m planning on going to bass pro to pick up stuff for catfishing but I have never fished for one or caught one. I’m from NH and I am now stationed in Louisiana so I’m not used to the fishing down here. Im planning on getting a rod and reel just for it so any brands or certain gear that you use would be a huge help Thanks!

Ugly stick makes a 50$ rod/reel combo for cat fishing. That will do you well unless you’re looking to catch some monster flatheads. Put some 15-30 lb mono on it. Get offset circle hooks from team cat fish. They seem to set themselves and I always have the best success with them.

That sounds perfect man! What’s a good bait to use on a river?

Hi ! Been reading a lot of your blogs; pretty good stuff ! So you're also a New Hampshirite ? Where-
about ? I was a Manchester native for better that 50 of my 70 years, 'til I moved back here to Az. upon retiring (was here for 10 years prior to retiring) ! Have been estranged from siblings for a few years and two of my former fishing buddies have passed on, the third one moved to Texas after his wife passed, so I don't get much info from back home
lately ! If you're willing and/or interested, I'd like to correspond, if only to keep current and to share fishing stories/information ! Just text 'Yay' or 'Nay' if you'd prefer, or message me via this blog !
