Im still relatively new to fresh water fishing (used to saltwater from shore and boat).
I took my son cat-fishing several times at lake ontelaunee at night. We see the success that others are having and we cant figure out what were doing wrong.
We tried gulp baits (all flavors) and never get a nipple.
We tried chicken livers and size 2 treble and single catfish hooks and we get tugs all the time but were never able to hook anything.
Now weve tried covering the hook, leaving a little exposed , wrapping a little thread around to hold the livers on (that works very well btw). Weve tried to set when we feel tugs, letting um nibble a bit and every other method we can read up on.
Can anyone give us a clue as to what we can be doing wrong?
