TheBasslayer Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Hello. I want to catch my first catfish ever, but I don't know anywhere by me to catch a catfish. I have the rod and reel, I just need a spot near me to catch my first catfish. Is their anyone that lives by or visits by Portage, MI? If you have any spots, let me know. Thanks! Quote
ArthurLK11 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I've never been to the area, but any body of water that you catch bass at will almost certainly have catfish in it as well. Try those first. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 23, 2021 Global Moderator Posted February 23, 2021 The maumee in Ohio is close to Michigan and loaded with monster catfish Just looked up portage, my suggestion might be a little too far east Quote
TheBasslayer Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 Ok thanks everyone. I will check out the Maumee if I ever go to Ohio again, which I probably will, and I will try my Mom's friends house which I know has bullheads at least. Quote
softwateronly Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 The St Joe has flatheads. I'd soak some sort of cut bait in the deepest, slowest water, but I don't really know. My maps of the St Joe are incomplete, but there's a lot of deep water in the section between Elkhart and Mishawaka, about an hour south of you. scott Quote
