Kill Catfish Bait
What keeps snatching my blue gill when I'm trying to reel it in?
I live on a small man made canal that has been stocked with bass, catfish, blue gill, and trout. I live in Texas. When I reel in my blue gill, I see a dark shadow following it and then BOOM, it's gone. Which fish is this? It's catch and release so I can't kill the blue gill and use it as bait, so what would be similar to use that would attract this fish? Minnows?
more than likely its a bass but dont be suprised if its a cat ive see both do the exact same thing you are describing one thing to help you identify what is chasing your catch is the way it swims catfish resemble a shark in the way the swim through the water, bass on the other hand will follow then strike fast and usually with power you could try using a broken back lure by rapala which mimic a wounded fish swimming for the bass, minnows will work for both species its also a possibility that trout are taking your catch i dont have much experiece with trout though i hope this helps you on your way to landing more fish ..good luck
