Rod and Reel Catfishing on Rend Lake, you can expect to catch Channel Catfish within the 1 lb. to 10 lb. range with the average being 2.5 lbs. On a good day, you could easily catch 50+ fish. You can expect to use a variety of baits depending on what they are hitting best at the time. Baits can include cut shad, night crawlers, and manufactured bait like Sunnys. Channel Catfish can be caught year round on Rend Lake. Early in the year, we catch Cats in deep, main lake holes and along deep rock banks. Peek spawn, is in June and early July; we will mostly be fishing rocky shore lines where they come to spawn in the holes. After the spawn, we like to drift the shallow flats on the main lake. Any time we have had a recent heavy rain we could choose to go into feeder creeks or along one of the impoundments dams to fish the moving water. Hogging, Noodling, Hand fishing, whatever you want to call it we have you covered. Hogging is a form of fishing where you get into the water with the fish and use your hands as the "BAIT" - grabbing giant Catfish by the mouth and pulling them out of their holes! Flatheads move in the "Holes" to hide and rest during the day. The key months are June, July, August, and early September. We will do our best to get you a chance at dragging out one of the "Big Boys". The average weight of Flatheads we catch are 25 lbs. but fish 70 lbs. and bigger are possible.
