Lowrance HDS Touch found the Catfish

[Adrian]

Went out on Old Hickory yesterday to try out the new Lowrance Touch. Have a lot to learn, but it's all good so far...
Here's one the wife pulled in.

That's a nice fish. On your sonar returns are you getting a brighter solid hit at the head and then the rail runs longer, thinner and less solid? How do you fish for you catfish?

[Adrian]

On the sonar, I'm getting what looks like a tadpole with a red & yellow head. Pretty easy to distinguish them from other species. I went to a cove and netted some gizzard shad about 4" long. When we got to the channel, I just pull the head and tail off the shad, put them on a small circle hook and send them to the bottom with a 1oz weight on calm days, 2oz when they are really pulling water.

Very nice fish Congrats

That's a very good way to describe a catfish return on sonar. I never fish like that, I always fish shallow at night for catfish .

I like to get ahold of those 30 pounders down deep so I can fight 'em up to the surface )

Looks like you found the fish. How do you like the touch?

I'm spoiled with the Touch. Now every screen that has buttons I come in contact with, I try to push the screen. )
