White Catfish

[John Sheehan]

Who here has caught White Catfish and cares to contribute know how , experience, photos etc ? I have never caught them but would like to find waters nearby that have them .I understand a similar sized Channel Cat has a smaller mouth than the White Catfish . http://www.in-fisherman.com/catfish/white-catfish-locations-and-tac...

Hi John, I get a few on lures this time of year, but usually get them on night crawlers.  When I'm catfish fishing, I get way more channel cats than whites.  White cats have a big fat head compared to channel cats and their tail isn't as forked as a channel cats.  I've caught all of mine in the Raritan...
