Fishing in Enid,OK

We decided to go visit my grandma in Enid. Right up the road is a community pond called Government Springs Park. I got out there about 1pm and had no bites for hours. I was using garlic scented worms. Then a few hours later a truck pulled up and stocked the pond with channel catfish. Less than 15 minutes later my pole got a bite. They stole my worm. I rebaited and casted out. About 30 minutes later I landed a beautiful catfish.

About an hour later I landed another one.

It was about 5pm and I called it a day. Tomorrow very early morning I will head back out. I released these fish today. Tomorrow they will be lunch.

Fishbites for channel catfish?

Thats right! Saltwater fishbites for channel catfish. Back in early October, me and my family spent the weekend at my grandma's cabin which is by the Great Salt Plains Lake. I went out early on a Sunday morning to the spillway and casted a few rods out. On my zebco 202 I put a piece of clam flavored fishbite. Several hours later, a channel cat hit it. I managed to horse him in on that light line.

Last Tuesday I went out to the lake to try for catfish. On some of the hooks I put a piece of electric chicken fishbite and a small piece of liver. Catching that first catfish on a fishbite could of just been luck. The ultimate validation is whether or not it will catch a catfish at another lake. I can say that the liver/fishbite combo did produce.

If you get a chance to buy some fishbites, I highly recommend trying them. They don't stink and so far they work for me.

Baitmate Review

Everyone has an opinion on whether or not attractant actually work. Well last Tuesday I took baitmate classic with me to the lake. I was catfishing that day using liver. One rod had no attractant and the other rod did. I caught 5 fish that day. 4 of them were on the baitmate rod. That does make it seem that this stuff actually works. I am going to test this stuff a few more times before I make a final decision on it. For now, I'm leaning towards recommending that you use it.

My Wife Is Becoming Addicted

Not too long ago, my wife wasn't that much into fishing. Now she's getting into it. We spent all last weekend fishing. Then yesterday she sends me a pic of the tackle bag that she wants. Yes folks, she is addicted. This Mother's Day I'm going to do a fishing theme. Problem is, I'm 6.5 hours away working. But I have an Academy up the road. I'm excited to see her take an interest in fishing and I want to help nurture that.
