How do I set hoop nets for catfish?

Hoop nets are a type of fishing net that is used to catch catfish. They are typically made of a metal frame with a mesh netting attached to it. The net is set in the water with the frame resting on the bottom and the netting suspended above it. Catfish are attracted to the bait that is placed inside the net and swim into it to feed. Once they are inside the net, they cannot escape because the netting is too small for them to get through.

Here are the steps on how to set hoop nets for catfish:

  1. Choose a location where there is a deep pool of water with a muddy bottom.
  2. Anchor the hoop net in the water with the frame resting on the bottom and the netting suspended above it.
  3. Bait the net with live or cut bait.
  4. Check the net regularly to see if there are any catfish inside.
  5. Remove the catfish from the net and keep them in a livewell or on ice.
