Catfishing is way to boring for me. I will a couple rimes a year but thats it. I'm mostly out there for stripers.

yea but when you see a picture of that 94 pounder caught below Cannelton Dam you start to think to yourself, "man, that looks like fun!"

I was just thinking about sitting by a camp fire along the shoreline or a propane lantern and spending a few hours at night fishing the old fashion way. Throwing out some worms or chicken liver and waiting for the catfish to bite. I'll put a bell on the rod tip of something to let me know I've got a bite and then read a book while I wait. LOL

If I can only stay up past 9 pm. I'm normally hitting the sack by 8:30 these days.

A few years ago I took my boat out to Bluegrass Pit and tried some night fishing with underwater lights for crappie. I didn't catch a single crappie but did notice a lot of gizzard shad circling my underwater light. The shad are attracted to the light. I also hung a propane lantern off the side of the boat but man the bugs got really thick when I turned the white lantern light on.

The underwater light is weighted so I can sink it down to about 2 or 3 or 5 ft and the light works off a car battery. 12 V DC. And the lenses are green so as not to attract too many bugs.

It gets foggy at night and it's hard to see where you are going even with a spot light. That's where the Garmin GPS comes in handy. Now if I only could learn how to use the routing and the back tracking features on my newer Garmin Montana. The Manual *****.

PS: Way off topic but I have to say this right now. Don't buy a spring loaded Gamo Air Rifle or a Gamo Rifle Scope. They **** too. I'll post another thread on this in the hunting forum.
