Mole cricket larva is sold in quantities of 25, so 100 bait was the closest number to 90. In the case of the duck mussel meat and medium cutbait I bought 90 bait (since they're available in quantities of 10 and 15). I want to highlight "Bait Cost" for a moment. For the experiment I used duck mussel meat, medium cutbait, mole cricket larva, and peas: Just a note about the third setup, while I caught a number of normal-sized catfish on this crazy OP (for this lake) bottom-feeding rod, almost every trophy catfish was caught on Setup #1 or Setup #2. Setup #3 - Bottom Sniper 9' 10" rod, Mega Tank 6000, 30lb Braid. Setup #2 - Nero 14'10" rod, Big River 5000 reel, 12lb Flurocarbon. Setup #1 - Ardix 12'2" rod, Hornet Swarm 6000 reel, 20lb Braid. Here are the exact setups I used:ĭuetStand Rod Stand (red and black rod stand for 2 rods) Several 11lb fish were caught using that rod. My lightest rod, the level 19 Nero 14'10 was equipped with 12lb Flurocarbon. I conducted this experiment at Level 38 with mostly over-powered gear, but you should be able to do it reasonably with level 21 (or less) gear. In my early learning foolishness I bought an unlimited advanced license for Mudwater, so this river will cost more if you don't have a license to fish there. Leave once the keep net was full and up to 3 fish replaced (pay the travel cost for each bait used) (in almost all instances I had 3 fish on the 3 rods when I was close to weight limit) I could set up my stand and put baits on my 3 rods before 11am, but fishing didn't start until I fast forwarded time to 11am One of the great things about the medium cutbait advice is that you can catch some pretty big catfish in a relatively small amount of game time. For this experiment I felt time was an important factor. One thing videos don't always show is how long it takes to fill a keep net. This is good advice, but I wondered if their might have been a better, more cost effective bait? The typical advice is to use a #3/0 hook and medium cutbait (a level 20 bait). There are several good Youtube videos on the subject of catching trophy catfish at Mudwater. While it's a low level lake, it can be fun pulling out catfish after catfish, particularly if you can catch a lot of trophies.
I spent some time yesterday farming Mudwater River in Missouri.
