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.

Blue catfishes are the largest species of all catfish and can have an average weight of up to 150 pounds. These blues are on high demand at the river because they present the toughest challenge in fishing. They are carnivorous feeding on meat from the bottom hence it is not easy to bait them. 10lbs and above weighing catfish are returned to the water for conservation after a photograph session.

Fishing is a good activity for all people because it is not engaging physically. In addition it is competitive and more of a team work job. This makes it ideal for activities such as team bonding and family outings. Going fishing for catfish is even a better experience. Everyone wants to catch the largest but it cannot be done alone, you need the rest of the team. Besides, standing holding the trophy cat in a photograph is a source of pride and unity for the whole group.

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.

Qualifications, experience and training are factors that you need to consider when hiring a guide. The company that they are registered with you will have to check it out. Have a look at their website, their previous trips and customers will also direct you.
