New Smyrna Beach - Hardhead Catfish

Another night trip to the North Causeway with Kyle. We used the castnet to bring in some fresh mullet for bait. Cut a few pieces and casted out on 3-way rigs. We didn't stay very long, but I managed to catch one Hardhead catfish, weighing at 1 lb 7 oz. That weight matches my biggest Hardhead catfish previously caught on October 13th 2010.

Rig: 3-way rig
Bait: cut mullet
Tackle: 1 oz bank sinker, 40 lb test Power Pro braid line

North Causeway - Saltwater Catfish Mania

I spent a couple hours at the North Causeway in New Smyrna Beach last night. I brought along Kyle and a new tub of Sudden Impact fiber bait made by Team Catfish. I caught a total of 4 hardhead catfish using 2 fishing poles throughout the night, one with cut mullet and the other with Sudden Impact fiber bait. The cut mullet attracted the bigger hardheads at 1 lb 4 oz and 1 lb 7 oz. The Sudden Impact got a couple smaller hardheads at 10 oz and 8 oz. At one point, as soon as I landed one, my other rod was getting bites so Kyle had to help me grab the other pole. We both had a catfish as we're sharing the pliers and fish-grips to safely unhook and release. Thats the first time I ever caught two fish at the same time.

Rig: 3-way rig
Bait: cut mullet & Sudden Impact fiber bait
Tackle: 1 oz bank sinkers, 4/0 circle hooks, Mini Furry Thang bait holders
