I prefer saltwater fishing as well. The waters near me are brackish and have both salt and freshwater fish. Not much bites in the winter except for the catfish. Most of the blue cats you catch are 2-5 pounds but they grow as big as 150lbs though these are rare. I'd be happy if I could hook a 20 pounder or so.
Oh, wow! Those are huge blues. We don't get blues that big around here, but the flatheads are pretty big around the Neuse and Cape Fear Rivers.
What's your favorite bait to use for catfish?
