Nighttime Catfishing: River Jet's Premium Experience

Night Owls: Catfish Adventure After Dark

Hey there, night fishing enthusiasts! Ready for a whisker-chasing adventure under the stars? Our Nighttime Catfishing Experience is the real deal for anyone looking to tangle with some serious channel cats and maybe even a monster flathead. We're talking 8 to 10 solid hours on the water, giving you the best shot at hooking into those big boys that come out to play after the sun goes down.

What's the Night Bite Like?

Picture this: You're out on the river as the last bit of daylight fades. The water's calm, there's a slight chill in the air, and all you hear is the gentle lapping of waves against the boat. We'll get you set up with live bait - the good stuff that catfish can't resist. As night falls, that's when the action really picks up. Channel cats start cruising, and if we're lucky, we might even get a shot at a big ol' flathead. It's all about patience, but when that rod bends over, you'll know it was worth the wait.

Gearing Up for Nocturnal Cats

We keep things simple but effective out here. You'll be using sturdy rods with baitcasting reels, spooled with heavy line to handle those bruisers. Live bait is the ticket - we're talking cut shad, nightcrawlers, or maybe even some secret concoction your guide's been perfecting. We'll anchor up in known catfish hotspots, using lights to attract bait fish which in turn bring in the cats. It's a waiting game, but when that clicker starts singing, it's go time. Be ready for some serious pull - these river cats don't give up easy!

Species You're After

Channel Catfish: These are the bread and butter of our night fishing trips. They average 2-10 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 20+ pounder. Channel cats are aggressive feeders and put up a great fight. They tend to cruise around more at night, making them perfect targets for our after-dark adventures.

Flathead Catfish: Now, these are the real trophies of the river. Flatheads can grow massive, with some topping 50 pounds or more. They're less common than channel cats, but when you hook one, you're in for the fight of your life. Flatheads are ambush predators and love to hang out near structure, so we'll target those areas for a chance at these whiskered giants.

Blue Catfish: While not as common in our local waters, blue cats are always a possibility. These are the true monsters of the catfish world, capable of growing over 100 pounds. They're aggressive feeders and will give you a run for your money if you're lucky enough to hook one.

Why Night Fishing is Where It's At

Let me tell you, there's something special about being on the water at night. The river takes on a whole new personality. It's peaceful, yet there's an excitement in the air. Catfish are more active after dark, especially the big ones. They feel safer moving into shallower water to feed, which gives us a better shot at hooking into a real bruiser. Plus, you can't beat the experience of fighting a big cat under the moonlight - it's something you've got to feel to believe.

Book Your Moonlight Cat Chase
