I can't help you myself because I don't have the experience of catfish.

But I think it's reasonable to say we don't have a problem beinbg pestere with them in the UK.

You may get more help on FM if you fill in you profile and give a bit more info in your question ie where are you fishing? What do you mean by 'sheffiled'?

I have heard to only way is to cover you bait in a plastic mesh to stop the poisson chat from destroying the bait, the loose ground bait will be take by them.

the plastic mesh means the small fish cannot take or nibble the bait but a larger carp can take it and the flavour leaks out.

By all accounts it is a nightmare.

thanks, but my problem is in the composition of the ground bait because it is atracting the poisson chat, and all the rest of the fish is staying away.....

there must be a solution.... how to combine the ground bait and aditives to keep away this monster..../forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

where abouts in sheffield you fishin? ive never heard of any problems with catfish in any matches that i attend. one solution is to feed an area that you are not fishing to one side then fish your main area,

any way i would have thought you wanted to catch loads of these to make up ur wieght or am i wrong

 

[peter lawler]

i'm beginning to be thinking that perhapsing you are fishing your locals aquarium !!!

and you might have been paying the administrations fee to enterings !!!

if this is soings ypu shouldbe runnings off of it very very quickleys as the warder type persons will be jumpings on you from a greatish height for trying to be stealing the tropicals fishes ....

dont forgetings , if you catch a portugese man-o-war it can be very stingingish and could leave you with a largish swellings if stunging in thes groinish area.

ohhh yes stsa true ish....x.
