    St. Louis catfish help

    Thanks. I saw someone pull a few small ones out of pond 2, at the very end of it right near the St. Louis Ponds main parking area. I think they were just using worms. Like Outdoor_Myers was saying, I'd probably have better luck with chicken livers, I've heard before that that usually works well...

    First time back in 20 years

    One day last year I hooked something huge and had it one for a minute or so but it got away. I think it had to be a catfish, and a huge one at that because I was using a pretty heavy duty rod and it was fighting like hell. I was devastated when it got off lol I still think about that **** fish...

    What the heck

    Sorry for the delayed response, I meant to post this after I got back and just seemed to slip my mind. MY friend and I went out there the saturday before last. We were planning to go Sunday, but the weather reports predicted rain so we went Saturday instead. We were there for a pretty long...

    What the heck

    Wow, thanks for the great info Sam. I will definitely say hi if I see you out there on Sunday. I generally move around to a lot of different spots between the ponds, but I will definitely check out the coordinates you gave me. Good luck tomorrow and/or this weekend!

    What the heck

    Good info, thanks. I'll make sure to try out pond six Sunday. I'm sure it will have been hit enough by then but maybe there'll still be some brooders for me and my friend on Sunday. Do a lot of people still go in the winter? Never been there except in summer before.

    What the heck

    I've found that worms always work best for me there. I've caught trout with worms, bass with worms, those little annoying sunfish and catfish, all with worms. So, I don't know what you're fishing for or if you have a species you are specifically targeting; but if you just want some action, I...

    St. Louis catfish help

    I've been to St. Louis Ponds a few times this year for bass and bluegill, but now I want to try for catfish. I've never really fished for catfish before, although I've read up on it and believe I have the basic gist of it, at least for tackle and bait. I know there are bullhead and channel cats...

    What's your favorite powerbait???

    For what it's worth, I usually have my best luck with orange. Everyone I know swears by green and they do great with it, but orange powerbait is kind of my go-to bait when nothing else is working. And when nothing else is, usually the orange will get me one. The two biggest trout I've caught...

    Resurrection of St. Louis Ponds

    I was there a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty soggy out there the few times I was out there earlier and it seems algae completely takes over the place sometimes, but it was fine a few weeks ago. But if its rained semi-recently, prepare to get a little muddy. I haven't had much luck with...

    Any recent reports from Detroit Reservoir?

    I went out to Detroit on Sunday, my regular fishing buddies had to work so I invited my mom along since she doesn't get to fish much but always has a good time when she goes. We set up near mongold park and I caught my limit and she caught 4 in a little under 3 hours. Caught two 12 inchers, the...

    Any Updates for NF Res?

    Yeah I'll definitely go back in a few weeks after the activity dies down a bit. Those spots you suggested really looked good and I would have stuck with them longer had we not been swamped by the crowd. After work is always a favorite time of mine to go because I work from 5:30-2 so I pretty...

    Any Updates for NF Res?

    Hey sorry I missed you there, my friend and I got to the dock at around 6:45 or so and it was pretty much full already over there so we went to that second place on the left and fished there for a while. After a while we were standing shoulder t shoulder with a million other people there so we...

    Any Updates for NF Res?

    Thank you for the advice, I'll definitely try out those spots on Sunday and say hi if I see you there. My friend and I will be in a blue jeep liberty and I'll probably be wearing my oregon state hat and a brown coat.

    Any Updates for NF Res?

    I'll be at North Fork with a friend of mine on Sunday. Never fished there before, any advice on some of the hotspots there?
