Ya got a hankering for a catfish dinner - here is a recipe to try...
Step 1 - take nightcrawlers and some small hook to any hole on the Mallad River
Step 2 - bait hook with tiny piece of worm and toss in with a small sinker to just hold it on the bottom
Step 3 - reel in suckers, chubs and carp (option to use cast net or minnow traps are allowed in this recipe)
Step 4 - meet up with Pat at Willard and listen to a ton of earned wisdom about cattn' the Bay
Step 5 - goto one of his suggested locations and tie on some of that real fresh bait to a circle hook on a Santee rig, Carolina bottom rig or flig
Step 5 - watch Pat launch his toon and head out to the great beyond
Step 6 - start reeling in cats
Step 7 - watch Pat return with his fish bag loaded with wisker treats
Step 8 - get a refresher course on fillet methods from the master
Step 8 - take fillets home and cook
Step 9 - repeat as needed to maintain sanity
It was a great trip up to the Mallad for bait and then to meet up with Pat for a shared cattn adventure. And he did actually share recipes to try on my next batch of cats - you will have to ask him for the recipe - I dont want to divulge a family secret (IE his garlic and olive oil method)
Good times - Here is the video link
