It has always amazed me about the similiarities of Bowhunting and Catfishing. I've got over 40 years of bowhunting behind me and a half a dozen years of trophy catfishing. Most bowhunters start out with little to show for their efforts for the first few seasons and those that stick with it start being able to bring home the does and smaller bucks. Rarely does the Novice start out bagging the trophy bucks, but it does happen occasionally. Those bowhunters who really stick with the sport forgoing everything else around themselves eventually become trophy class hunters and forgo the small and medium bucks in anticipation of the true giant 200 class P&Y buck. |

by fishinghelper Texas is a catfish-crazy state. The Lone Star State has loads of great rivers, streams and lakes, and you can find all kinds of fish in any one of them, including Mr. Whiskers himself. Catfish are found in almost every nook and cranny of Texas, so as long as you're near water, you aren't far from where the cats are. |

Winter time is BIG CAT time in many parts of the country. Hardy catfishermen brave the nasty weather and frigid temperatures in their quest for a trophy Blue Catfish. Many of the lessons that a cold weather catfisherman often learns by trial and error, have already been experienced by waterfowl hunters throughout the country - a sport enjoyed by hundreds of thousands every year in the U.S. When it comes to comfort and warmth, catfishermen can learn a few things from these veteran cold weather sportsmen. For years I was an avid waterfowler, and for years I put up with the same problems that most waterfowl hunters deal with. Staying warm! What follows is an article I wrote a few years ago about layering for cold weather to stay comfortable. |
