Peas are sold in quantities of 50, so again 100 purchased. 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.
