Stick to the more basic haichou rigs with the white plastic weed guards, any other hooks will slow down your progression through the game. This is the advantage of this strategy.Īnother good piece of advice is to ignore all hook nears the red monster, in my experience those hooks appear the be nicer but in reality they’re not.

If you can find their patrol more than 60 yds away this is where you’ll get most of your cats and this will ignore most carp around 30lbs or less. In my experience they appear the patrol the outer rim of the water about 2-6 feet from the shore, so don’t be afraid to cast a few feet in front of you, you’ll catch more basic carp this way, but if you see them surfacing don’t be afraid to throw your hook in. Again, find their paths and lure them through these. If you don’t have lac le dor map use the Spanish lake instead and use the same rig set up, you’ll be mostly ignoring regular carp in my approach which is the advantage over using other baits and strategies. Ignore other baits when going for catfish and only use the 18mm red monster. Catfish have an unusual way of rendering themselves on top of the water, pay attention, and then throw your rigs where they’re patrolling. You’ll need to make a point of finding where you catch them and where they surface. You want to fish all of the catfish into an cove, this will prevent them from outrunning your line. I constantly see references to people using a braided fishing line that’s one hundred pound test or more when fishing for catfish. The number of people that use braided fishing lines always amazes me and the size of the fishing line they use is even more baffling. Use a monster red 18mm on a silt hook 4 IQ-D rig. Braided fishing line is the most overused piece of fishing tackle and catfishing gear there is. Live bait ( Carp, Mullet and Eels ).Combine my advice with the above advice. Photographic equipment to capture your memorable moments.
