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. |

24 May 2006 - Spawning in full swing for Tukes

The 'Rain and Drain' of Wahiawa Reservoir has the peacock bass in full spawn. The lake level is lowered as a flood control plan. A big rain fills the lake and gives people down stream time to prepare for the flooding. Hawaii has had lots of rain this year and overnight the water level can rise 12 feet. In the Amazon water temperature and the length of the day have no relation to spawning. For the peacock bass it's either the rainy season or the dry season. So as soon as the water level drops the fish start spawning.
Our average size fish is 1 to 2 pounds. Bedding fish up to 8 1/2 pounds have been taken. But lately the 3 to 5 pounders have been cursing the shoreline and schooling up to chase shad in open water. One day you can catch fish on spinner baits, jerk baits, Senkos, top water lures, and live bait. Then in the next day you wonder if there are any fish in the lake. I guess that's why they call it 'Fishing' and not 'Catching'.
Aloha,
Stan
