Thanks for the tips Ken. Another thing that comes to mind is exploiting the sense of smell that all predators possess and make full use of it in murky waters. I have been using chicken liver/prawn/fish fillet etc on the treble hook of the spinner for catching big size trouts in mountain lakes/streams and had good success with this technique. Chicken heart/liver, if fresh and bleeding, really works well. Haven't tried this technique in muddy waters though. What do you say?

Hi Sualeh,

Muddy Waters=Low visibility... and fish hunt by sight as much as they do by smell, taste and feel...

as far as spoons go, only the really bright and shiny low light types such as silver tobys work. You can also use spinners such as vibrax or mepps... ratling plugs also work...

the reason bait works well is becuause of the smell & taste...

Are the rains over at your end???

Ken your tips are indeed appriciated and set the mind on a new line.Thanks

Hi everybody,

Would like to have some tips ..i always get yellow catfish from rivers of alleppy,kerala, whenever i am using chicken livers or chicken waste , not able to get any good fish , infact the river which is at Kanjipadam,alleppy,kerala is full of big fishes (katla,rohu,etc..) , may i request you to help me out by advising which bait i must use in such rivers , even used spinners, jigs and crankbaits , but nothing worked in day or night .

please do help me ..please..as i am going back to same place on this coming friday again.

Hello Joe,

Search the forum for Catla, Rohu, Feeder Rig, etc.
Catla and Rohu can mainly be targeted with veg baits.
