As soon as we push off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement in the air. Fort Cobb Lake is known for its excellent catfish population, especially during spring and fall. We'll start by finding some prime fishing spots - maybe near some submerged trees or along the channel edges.

On this trip, we'll be focusing on catfish, so we'll use some tried-and-true catfishing techniques. We might start with some bottom fishing, using stink baits or cut bait to attract those hungry cats. If the fish are feeling frisky, we might switch it up and try some drift fishing or even some trolling. Your guide will have a variety of rods and reels set up, from basic spincast setups to more advanced baitcasting gear. We'll match the gear to your skill level and the conditions on the lake. And hey, if you've got a favorite lure or technique you want to try, just let us know - we're always up for experimenting!
The star of our show is the hardhead sea catfish, but don't let the name fool you - these aren't your average kitties! These feisty fighters can grow up to 24 inches long and put up a serious battle. They've got a reputation for being tough and tenacious, which makes for an exciting catch. Spring and fall are prime times to target these whisker-faced critters, as they're actively feeding to bulk up for winter or recover from spawning. Hardheads tend to school up, so when you find one, there's a good chance you've hit the jackpot. Their sharp spines and armor-like head give them their name, so we'll show you how to handle them safely. And while they might not win any beauty contests, they're a blast to catch and can make for some tasty eating if you're into that.

Hardhead Sea Catfish are an interesting catch here in Fort Cobb. These tough little fighters usually run 1-3 pounds, but can get up to 12 pounds if you're lucky. You'll find them in muddy or sandy bottoms near the shore, often hanging out by river mouths. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys. They're opportunistic eaters, so they'll bite on just about any natural bait. Shrimp seems to work best though. Fair warning - they're known for stealing bait, so be ready! What makes Hardheads unique is their ability to use echolocation, something rare in bony fish. They also make various sounds by grinding their teeth or vibrating their swim bladder. While not the tastiest catch, they put up a good fight for their size. Just be careful handling them - those dorsal and pectoral spines pack a punch. Local tip: If you're after other species like trout or drum, you might hook into some Hardheads too. They often share the same waters. When you feel that distinctive tug, get ready for a feisty battle!
