I just started at a different lake for the first time. And from 3pm to 7pm I didn't get one bite. I'm using nightcrawlers as bait.
I'm fishing for catfish at a lake I go to. I don't know what kind of catfish but the guy I talked to says he usually catches 12-18lbers. What's weird is he was using corn as a bait and had a bobber and casted only 5 feet away from the shore.
I'm using a carolina rig with a 1/4oz egg weight, barrel swivel, a 24" leader(12lb test line), with a 4/0 octopus circle hook.
Is there anything wrong with this rig? Should I change my bait? Should I go earliar in the morning?
