Me and a buddy went noodling the other day, new to it but ended up with an 8 and 10 pounder. Will be doing it again!

I haven't done it in years but it's a good time. Don't miss the hands being scared up.

were did you go ? were I live the blues are just now starting to turn on , they move in the holes first and are alot more aggressive than a flat head and also here there a game fish and haft to release , weve got flatheads on momorial day on a hot year with no water , this year the water is 60 right now and there way away from moving in, post a pic of your catch this is a flash from the past , will have some new ones soon    |

We've been going here at the Teague lake to some small holes, theirs a hole in lake limestone that you usually catch a monster out of. I don't have any pics of our catch my buddy started cuttin on em before I got any pics but we'll be going again soon!

Were pretty new to this so I was wondering if theirs a trick to this, the holes were running right now are pretty small catching 10 pounders..all they'll do is strike your finger tip and back off..and when the holes to deep we can't catch them, the ones of caught I had to push up against the wall of the hole and grab him. Is their a trick to this or what?

I've always wanted to try noodling but not around where I live there's too many gators in the Navasota and Trinity rivers and the lakes fed by them. I would like to try it in Oklahoma but will have to find someone off of here that will take me someday.

In most cases the smaller fish are harder to get than the bigger ones , the big ones about rip your arm off , I've been out for a while by a big one twisting my wrist really bad and have known people that's had there's broke , I use a fiberglass rod to feel with , they have a lot of feel and they come in two sizes , the same kind with the flag on it you would buy to put on a kids bike , rip the flag off , and leave the assembly part on , you can use this end to lay on the fish and slide him towards you , sometimes this works and sometimes not , a smaller fish is just harder , the big ones will let you move them or they will come to you , hooks are illegal here , hands on noodling act. , I've blocked the hole before and rammed the fish with my stick over and over until I pissed him off enought all he wanted was out and reached in and grabbed on deeper holes , that's the method I used when I took a blind man from California , that fish ate him up , I'd say you got it going on if your catching smaller fish , to me there alot more difficult than a big one
