That's the only way my Father fished also. A cane pole, a cricket cage and he was a happy man. He could also out-breamfish anyone who is using a rod and reel using the same bait. I still use one a lot but it's manmade fiberglass instead of a bamboo pole.
I plan on this next trip. I'll either catch them like you or maybe I'll learn to throw my cast net that I bought 30years ago and still has the plastic wrap around the container it's in.
I know how fish stories normally go but this one is true and is what got me interested in catching big cats. Last summer my youngest (35yrs) son and I launched my tiny 11.5 ft jonboat in at Berry's boat dock on Jackson Lake and paddled it to the point on the main lake just 100yds or so from...
My son is going to pick me up some rooster liver at The Happy Hooker bait shop next week. I caught a few (8-10lbs) last year on raw chicken meat. I also had some luck last year using live bream. I don't recall that I had any luck at all with cut bait last year at Jackson Lake but I'll keep...
I have just begun fishing for BIG catfish and still have a lot to learn. A question for the trophy catfishermen on GON. If you went out to target heavyweight catfish (it may be a different answer for the different species), and you could only take one type bait, what would it be (excluding live...
My hats off to the OP. His rounds look great. I wish he'd have put a nickel in the photos so the perspective would show how tiny they actually are. My .25 pistol is the only centerfire pistol I have that I don't reload for. They are way too small for me to be able to deal with. If I shoot it...
I'm 63yrs old and would like to attempt gator hunting in South Ga. But I can find little info at all in the Ga reg book or on-line. The reg book tells me to go to GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com which I have done but still find no info on rules, regulations, or how or when to apply for the quota. I've...

I have heard this over the years too. The only catfish that I've seen reproduce (in ponds) are the round tailed bullhead type catfish that would be native to the ponds feeder creeks/streams.
