Catfish waters

[robnichol]

I am looking this summer to catch my first cat, just one problem, no idea which water to target. Looking for a water within about an hour of congleton, where i have a good chance of baggin one, not too bothered about size. Any sugestions???

trafford water park(sale water park) is a deffo for cats and they aint hard to catch a couple of kilos of halibut pellets n sumat smelly ont ook. i fished squid and its a knockin bet your gonna get one.

Homefarm in Alsager cats upto about 25 last I heard.Its only a small water so you'll never be too far away from them. I was lucky and had one out on my first trip on there.we weighed it at 13lb on a set of avons...but the photograph looks more like 23lb....still not sure if we weighed that one right It was just mad to get one on the bank as I had never had one before, they go like mad, I thought it was a decent carp

lakemore is worth a bash mate on the horseshoe or the long, there is a monster cat in the horseshoe what has never been caught yet to date.

Lakemore is quite near me so i may give there a bash. Which of the two lakes is the easier water, because as i said earlier, i have never targeted cats before. Any info on how to approach the place would be welcomed with open arms.

I've only ever caught one,which fell to a double fusion bottombait,I used a 10" mantis rig with a size 6 korda longshank x hook, but after seeing how abrasive the pads are in their mouths, I'll probably use a kevlar link thats made for the job next time.I've also been told that a few hair rigged halibuts are good for tempting moggies.I hope you catch matey ,the fights unreal

Personally I'd recommend Amnesia for the cats in whichever strain it is around 20lb, always get confused because they arn't in the usual sizes...

I'd recommend Amnesia for the cats

Thats good to know matey,i've got plenty of that kicking about

I took the picturee on film ,but the pictures of the Sturgeon and Beutilful Koi are on Slide and they do not leave my possesion
We have had some lovelly fish from Horseshoe, Long Lake and Gold Lake, Well worth a few days out.

see if you can find silt patchs, as cats scoop there food up. as for baits 21 mm plus halibuts over a large bed of pellets.

Burton mere has got cats to 50lb and there are about 15 in there, Not that hard to catch either mate
