Best Time to Go Catfishing

Best Time to Go Catfishingにまつわる役立つ知識を詳しく紐解きます。

Don’t you love a perfect, crystal-clear swimming hole? Well, catfish don’t. A little bit of stained water is your best friend. After a good rainstorm, when the river gets a chocolate-milk tint, the big cats turn into absolute gluttons.

The murk makes them less cautious. They stop worrying about predators overhead and just feed with reckless abandon. Compare it to you feeling brave eating snacks in a dark movie theater—nobody can see you, so you go wild. Fishing right after a heavy rain but before the water clears is a golden window.

This is where it gets interesting. You’ve probably seen fishing charts with moon phases, right? Full moons look romantic, but they aren’t always best for catfish. A new moon or a crescent moon gives you that deep, black sky they love.
