I was watching a show this weekend on the Sportsmen's Channel regarding fishing for blue catfish.
The fishery had a interesting twist to it. I believe it was filmed in Texas.
They were fishing floats around submerged trees with chicken gizzards where Cormorants would roost at night after eating shad.
It is an early morning fishery where the cats are attracted to the Cormorant's shad scented poop. They called it fishing the splat.
That was a new fishing technique to me and they caught some nice looking cats. I'm not sure how they'd taste though.
We have a lot of Cormorants around here. I wonder if the splat bite ever takes place around here either in fresh or saltwater?
