Kevin,
what size line do you usually use? Braided, mono, floro?

I use a variety of braided line, all 30+, my base leader is 20lb for all the fishing I do, but I use heavier on occasion. Pre snelled hooks come with much heavier leader

It's becoming increasing annoying how my work schedule seems to always overlap with these things. This one especially as I have been itching to catch a big cat. Have fun everyone and give those fat bastards hell.

I plan to attend I am off and the boss lady approved too lol .. its a 4 hours trip so is there camping near this boat ramp ??? If we stay out all day I may decide to sleep a bit before heading home, either way count me in. what do you expect the water temp to be like I was out on water today in my yak, started at 38, ended at 42 when I left.. and I was in my waders.. should this be alright. If I need to im willing to buy a cheap PVC rainsuit to stay a lil more dry ive done it before and theyre windproof so they keep ya bit warm too..

Regarding cold weather gear, you want to dress for the worst case scenario - turtling. The PVC rain suit won't help you much if you're in the drink.

Also, don't know if it's been said already...but double hook bottom rigs work great too, as they hold 2 hooks at varying distances above the ground. I've caught plenty of catfish on them, as well as about 15 other species of fish, because they're my go to rig for just about any saltwater fishing, especially surf fishing. The other thing you can do to get livers to stay on hooks better, is to buy a package of cheap pantyhose, and slide a liver down into one, then just cut off a little excess, and tie off both ends, then you just place the hook through the center of that nasty lump of stink. It'll stay on, but it can be a pain to get it off later on.

Just remember that Blue catfish grow to enormous size- the Maryland state record came from this area and for that reason- I fish with heavier tackle and a single hook fish finder rig- it would be a shame for you to hook a monster fish on small hook double bottom rig that has little chance of landing the fish...and blue cats are pretty tasty on the table, too- I don't eat big ones, but anything under 30 inches comes home for filets...

I don't know about camping near there, but most of the guys I know that fish card there in winter aren't early risers. The tides seem to be more important to them than early light. Summer It is different, but winter guys launch between 8-10. It is a 24 he ramp so I don't know why you could not nap either before or after in the parking lot.
