At The Lake - Catfish Traditional Cache
angel06: This series, for the most part, is disappearing. As I went to grab the container a snake slithered right by my hand. Since I didn't see how far away he went I left the container until much cooler weather. Thanks to all the cachers that have hunted this one and I hope you learned a little about the catfish.

Catfish (Ictaluridae punctatus) - Easily identified by their lack of scales; stout, sharp pectoral and dorsal fins; and “cat-like” barbels on their mouths. Generally most active at night. Eat aquatic insect larvae, small crustaceans, crayfish, freshwater mussels, small fish, and dead animal tissue. They inhabit streams, rivers, eddies and shallow water, lakes and ponds. They spawn in cavities in hollow logs, holes in undercut banks, and beneath rocks when water reaches 70 -75 degrees. They have an olive and brown to dark blue body, back not humped, and a deeply forked tail. Their anal fin has a curved margin. They are typically 5 -10 pounds, but can get up to 58 pounds. Use worms, cutbait, shrimp, liver, blood and stink baits. They can be found in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, and TX.
