Catin With The Kids

3/13/12

        Well I got to take my son Joseph and my niece Ana out fishing for a couple of hours today. The fish didn’t bite as well as i hoped that they would. We ended up catching 3 1/2 catfish. 1/2 you say well when Ana was reeling in her second fish she got it to the bank she went to pick it up out of the water and it fell of so I’m counting it as a half. Joseph got to reel in two fish also. To me spending time like this with kids “any kid not just my own” is priceless. It’s not just bonding or hanging with your children its teaching them a lifelong skill. A wise man once said “I can give you a fish and you will eat for a day or I can teach you to fish and you eat for life”. Bring up the next generation of fishermen. You also got to love the expressions on children’s faces, how happy they get, how excited they get, and how much they admire you for spending time with them doing what you love to do. It inspires them to do things that maybe they wouldn’t normally do. Lets all hope that we can each inspire one child to have a passion even if it isn’t fishing. All’s kids want to do anymore is Cell phones and Video Games. I challenge each and every one of you to inspire one child this week. Get them out of the house and enjoy what this big world has to offer.

Until the Next Hole

Sonny’s super sticky catfish Bait

Alright I’m still waiting for some ice to form on the lakes in my area so I can do a true fishing blog but with temps. averaging in the mid to upper 30’s my options are a little limited. So I’m go to blog about my favorite catfish bait. When you ask most people about stink bait the major consensus is that it’s garbage and doesn’t work. In 99% of cases that is completely true. But there is always that 1%. That 1% is Sonny’s Super Sticky Catfish Bait.

First I would like to give you a little back ground on this company. It is owned by Sonny and Cherl Hootman. They are located in Farmington Iowa. They have been in business for 29 years and employee about 4 people. To me you couldn’t ask for a more perfect business. It has everything its a small family business. That loves what they do. Doing it to not become rich but to supply a good product that would be willing to use themselves. They don’t even have a web site. But they do have a phone number that you can reach them at. Id post a link here but I don’t know how to do it. Just give them a call you can order your stink bait right from them. Also they don’t accept credit cards so they will have you send them a check. Last spring me and 2 of my friends each ordered a 5 gallon bucket and it took about a week for it to show up. Yes i did say a 5 gallon bucket.

So all in all I would recommend this to anyone that wants to catch some fish. I always catch great numbers of cat with this bait and not just little ones either. I’ve caught cat’s between 1 to 26 pounds with this bait. Spring Summer and Fall this bait will work for you. Just smear some on your little holey plastic plug and toss it in the water. No special instructions required. Easy enough for a child to do. Trust me my 4-year-old boy baits his own pole. Before long I think he will be out fishing me. But that’s a whole nother story in itself.

Until the next fishing hole
