All About Red River Catfish Guide

By Harriet Porter


When you are thinking catfish fishing, Red River comes into mind. It is famous for its catfishes which are among the largest sizes in the world. One may weigh an average of 15 to 20 lbs or more. To have successful trip fishing, you will need to hire a Red River catfish guide.

The blue catfish is the largest species of catfish weighing up to 150 pounds. In Red River they are the most sought fish. This is because they are fighters and are actually present a challenge to catch. They are carnivores and bottom feeders making baiting difficult. Catfish that weigh over 10lbs are released after photographs.

People of all ages can participate in fishing since it does not consume too much energy. It is also a competitive sport which is ideal for family outings and team building initiatives. It is competitive because everyone wants to get the largest but since they cannot do it alone, everyone else has to participate. This makes catfish fishing a better experience than other fish. All of you holding the trophy cat as you pose for the camera is a source of unity and pride.

In essence, guides teach you how to fish. They will instruct you on the type of bait required to catch these cats and how to tie it around the hook. Finally they will show how you to cast and how to tell that the fish took the bait. Another reason to have one in your boat is their familiarity with the trends of fish. Hence, with them in your boat the probability of catching fish is higher. In addition, they don modern trendy equipment that is much more advanced than your own.

Fishing is not all about the activity but it is about the experience. Guides add fun to the activity. They not only offer their experience and tools, but also entertainment. Besides, they do all the work for you so that you relax and concentrate on the actual fishing. They will connect with you and tell you all you need to know about fishing, baiting and even the area.

The guide will also answer all questions you may have about this River or fishing, attractions, scenery and history. They are also required to clear any safety concerns you may have. They have a certification for first aid and CPR so in case something unplanned occurs there is no need to panic. In addition, they brief you on how to dress appropriately for fishing to avoid accidents.

Fishing cats of the Red River is adventurous. To get the most from your trip have a conversation with your guide about your expectations of the trip. Inform them of your skills as a fisher, you do not have to be embarrassed if you are a beginner. This is only to help them plan the trip in a way that you will enjoy the most. On your part be attentive not run your own side show.

When hiring a guide, consider their experience, qualification, training and customer reviews from their websites. It is important to check whether the company of the guide is legally registered. Check the website and customer feedback before making your decision.
