HOME MADE BOBBER FOR CATFISHING I have lost a couple of larger bobbers when fishing for catfish onrepparttar 133269 Ohio River. Even when I bought them at a flea market they still cost $3 each. Oncerepparttar 133270 line breaks on a snag that bobber is gone forever withrepparttar 133271 current. So a friend of mine show me a way to make up my own bobber that cost next to nothing.

The biggest concern is how much current you plan on fishing in withrepparttar 133272 boober. A large bobber can be made to handle 5-6 ounces in sinkers to holdrepparttar 133273 line steady. A smaller one 3-5 ounces will do a good job for you. For a large bobber use a 20 ounce plastic soft drink bottle. A smaller one use either an 8 or 12 ounce plastic juce bottle. Stuffrepparttar 133274 bottle with styrofoam pieces. One source I use isrepparttar 133275 styrofoam take out coffee cups. Just cut them up and stuff inrepparttar 133276 bottle until filled. Screw a very small eyelet screw intorepparttar 133277 top ofrepparttar 133278 bottle cap. Put some glue inrepparttar 133279 cap byrepparttar 133280 screw andrepparttar 133281 inside ofrepparttar 133282 cap then tighten it torepparttar 133283 bottle.

Lockport is about 20 miles north ofrepparttar 133268 Winnipeg airport onrepparttar 133269 RED RIVER OF THE NORTH. My brother and I went there for 6 days of fishing. Stayed at "Cat's onrepparttar 133270 Red". Rented a boat forrepparttar 133271 time we where there. The River was in perfect shape. The weather also co-operated in being mild to warm most ofrepparttar 133272 time. We were told of another 2 guys from KY. that had been up there a week before had caught over 350 cats! They must have spent 12 hours a day fishing for you can NOT haul those huge channel cats in a boat in just a couple minutes.

I must says having to use barbless hooks works out very well. We did NOT lose a fish byrepparttar 133273 hook coming out . Oncerepparttar 133274 fish was in repparttar 133275 boat it sure made it so easy to getrepparttar 133276 hook out. So you can liftrepparttar 133277 big fish up forrepparttar 133278 picture. By all means take your camera for your pals won't believe you withoutrepparttar 133279 proof ofrepparttar 133280 photos.

We did O.K. landing over 70 Channel cats most over 20 lbs. My brother caughtrepparttar 133281 largest one of 29 lbs.!! Your odds of getting a Channel cat that large out ofrepparttar 133282 Ohio River are very slim. My brother got around 45 and I landed around 28 cats. As a bonus caught around 8 white perch from 5-12 lbs.
