inter coastal

Thanks for the reply. Fishing this area for catfish is different then what I'm use to. Most people I've talked to just AFK fish for them using jugs and such and not a rod.

My father-in-law used to have a camp at the Gibbstown bridge when it was a pontoon bridge and kept trot lines and limb lines set in the Intracoastal all the time. He tore up the catfish, especially in the spring, using crawfish and other live bait he caught in the ditches on the way to his camp. I sure do miss running those lines. In the spring he could catch as much as 100 lbs of dressed catfish on one run of about 100-150 hooks.

What's AFK?

Reason most people jugs is because 1, it's fun and 2 your chances go way up because you have more hooks in the water. In the Houma Nav (it feeds off the intracostal) where I work we catch reds and specks in the winter and catfish the rest of the year. There's a guy who commercial fishes catfish with trotlines during certain times of the year.
