 Catfish in henderson
Put some lines out on Henderson. Caught a few along the trees, but the biggest fish came off of the flats in less than 2' of water. Used cut shad and cut silver. Hung 40 hooks, caught 29 catfish. Pretty good average. Biggest 2 weighed 55# gutted. North side of the lake produced the most fish.

 Re: Catfish in henderson
You stick those poles in the ground and run trot lines in between them? I run a lot of setlines up here on creeks and small rivers but we do 1-2 hooks per pole. Wish I could fish for them this time of year, everything is froze solid now. Love seeing a mess of catfish!

 Catfish in henderson
Hit em in Henderson. I put up 6 gallons of meat. I'm good, I'm not greedy. Y'all can go catch the rest. I dropped a pin on the kill switch thread.

I'm assuming you're not aware you bumped an almost 2yr old thread to say "nice fish"

 Re: Catfish in henderson
I'd believe it. You can catch reds and trout and sheepshead right by picayune on the pearl depending on the time of year

 Re: Catfish in henderson
We went out there sunday and put jugs out then went fish the points and caught a little mess of sac-au-lait. Debating on if we are going to go back out there this sunday or go to the intracoastal. Jugs paid off good i just need to teach my buddy to bring the fish in the boat instead of holding them over the side still on the hook when he wants to take a picture.

 Re: Catfish in henderson
Went caught another nice mess this passed weekend. Put jugs in two spots not far from each other and the fish kept us busy. I almost have enough in the freezer to last me till the spring.

 Re: Catfish in henderson
That is a 400 quart cooler and holds 600lbs with the lid latched and we had fish all the way to the back and almost coming around the other side. Ended up 800 lbs and some change. That's been our best night to date. Usually average around 5-550 with me and another guy.

 Re: Catfish in henderson
Frozen catfish sells retail for $6/lbs. don't know what fisherman to wholesaler/restaurant is. I know some fishermen who sell directly to restaurants.
