Night fishing trip for catfish fishing can be very fun. Believe me, if you do well you need to fish, not only fish, but some are Lunkers!
Catfish feed at night and are very active, and when the fishing action can be incredible illusion! Catfish are attracted to the underwater lighting and a keen sense of smell. So if you can find the nightlife, we encourage you to link some simple techniques that are explained here. But first, you must be ready to be installed and night fishing is completely different at night, during the day. Things we take for granted the day, does not apply at night.
Boat configuration for night time
Before you even think about going night fishing for catfish, you must have: the lights inside the boat, or battery or Coleman fuel lanterns on two levels. Set the light of light to spread evenly inside the boat. In fact, the fish pier 20 meters and has three halogen lamps with the battery hanging 2 inches from the front, left and right suspension and the rear of my tent. (I used a Coleman, but attract many insects)
You also have the light on another person. This light is used to treat back to the fishing rods. Believe me, no matter how you prepare before your trip, you lose face, crossed the line, or snags, or fish breaking the line. (You can limit this by using heavy handle, and make sure the line is fresh) I personally use LED light that plugs into the edge of my hat.
You'll also need a light to illuminate the surface of the water would recommend Halogen 12V, which can be controlled from the outside of the boat. Prop is in the middle of the boat. I personally use and adjustable halogen that I can clip to the railing of my light pontoon.Direct in a 60-degree angle the boat into the water. This happens at the surface.
You need a light source that immersed. You're probably wondering now, why do I need submerged lighting? Underwater lights to create plankton swirls that will attract bait fish. When the bait fish start school Big cats come. substrates submerged light to attract schools of different sizes and shapes, I use 36 "long by about 4" in diameter. Center recessed lighting lighting design, set in surface water is sufficient. Anchor submerged lighting about 12 "from the floor (without an anchor, floating in water) .. make sure the light completely submerged under water. I recommend using a 5 pounds of weight as an anchor. If possible, still 2-3 meters underwater light boat.
You need a secondary supply from the light under water, lighting candles in the water, and operate your aerator pump for your live bait or live well. "Do not use your boats power source" This will drain the battery. "You do not want to get stuck on the lake at night right? If you take a fully charged 12v marine as your second source it will last all night.
You need all the fake sticks ready, if you have a forum, I take 3 times per person in advance to go in the water. Therefore, I believe, because it is a real pain, "empty" to re-install into the night. We will, however, but if you have any spare poles already set, you can use the precious time before all the clusters of water.
Position of the cat at night looms
It has been my experience most cats roam the shore lines or back waters in their search for food at night. Each water body will be different. I recommend you do some research on the body of water to fish for catfish at night. Get at least a topographical map of the area before attempting the trip. Can be obtained at local bait and tackle shops in the area(I recommend you visit one of these shops to get the scoop anyway, if you dig deep enough these guys can pin point on the map where to start fishing. This will save much time).
Finally if you succeed to catch some it will become a fun-fun experience.
