The Ultimate Guide to Catching Stocked Catfish in Urban AZ

Ойын-сауық

Catfishing Arizona’s urban ponds can be tricky, but with a small amount of knowledge you will have it down in no time. There are so many locations to choose from that all get filled up with fish.
Arizona has a stocking schedule for the urban ponds here in the valley, they are filled up on 2 different seasons throughout the year! This leaves plenty of channel catfish for people to catch.
Catfishing can get very complicated so it’s best we keep it simple. Sometimes people do the most for some stocked fish, when you don’t need much for these guys.

    Just fished the Riparian and a guy had his rod pulled into the water while it was leaning on the middle wall!!! He literally jumped in the water and was able to find his pole... the fish was still on!! He landed it and it was about a 5 lb cat!! Amazing...

    I'm surprised with the choice of gear. Far more heavyweight than needed for those size catfish. 5/0 size circle hook? 1/0 is way more than adequate. Medium heavy rod? Any standard 6' medium rod with 10# test line is all that's needed. Cats in the 1 to 6# range can easy be handled with this much lighter and cheaper gear.

    Sure they “can” be, but this video is geared more toward beginners that maybe don’t know how to play fish as well. You’d be surprised how many fish people have broken off here on 15-20lb test. As for hook size, these stockers will swallow a 1/0 easily. 5/0 circle hooks keep them hooked in the lips for catch and release. I also mentioned 3/0-4/0. As for the price they have cheaper gear in all sizes. Medium heavy, heavy, medium, light, etc…

    Do what ya' want! I've been fishing these lakes for 30-40 yrs. 4lb outfit for trout and 6lb for cats!! Largest fish was a 50 lb flathead from Cortez about 10 yrs ago! Happened during trout season on 4lb line and #8 hook using power bait trout!! Gotta admit I lived in Florida for 7-8 years and caught plenty of 80-140 lb tarpon on nothing heavier heavier than 12 lb Ande tournament line. Light tackle specialist. What you're doing is great for beginners but there is one whole lot more once you get into it!! Light line,no weight and natural baits put in the right places can be absolutely murder, I have taught many people how to do this!! And I have no qualms at all about teaching others!!! Still kinda fun to see what you're up to!!!! Keep it up!!!!! A.Z.
