Even Catfish are finicky |
Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Weather: Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. Humidity 89% Temperature 81..... Feels like 87.
The glassy calm of the lake was broken only by the schools of shad that dimpled the surface. 'Nervous water' they call it. Then everything would explode. Tiny baitfish leaped from the water as schools of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pound peacock bass went into a feeding frenzy.
The peacock bass ignored our larger lures, so we finally settled on the 3 inch white Senko rigged Texas style with no weight. On 6 pound test spinning tackle it was lots of fun.
Hanyu Yoshiro, from Japan, had never fished for bass, but his skills as an avid angler quickly showed that he could handle the feisty peacocks. Even a nice 3 pound largemouth. His friend, Dr. Min Li, also had no trouble with light spinning tackle. When ever one angler hooked up, the other would grab a camera and start recording the emotion and excitement of the moment.
I'm not sure how many fish we caught, but it was 3 hours of the most exciting fishing I can recall in a long time.
Aloha,
Stan
