Hey Rabbit, I fish in the Aquducts near Taft. Lately I've been going at night, using cut sardines as bait. The past three times I've managed to get one catfish each trip. They were quite a nice size. To me, I think the time period may be a factor. Whenever I go during the day, I get nothing. Not even a bite. But the past couple of night trips I've been going around 8-9 PM each Thursday or Friday night. Hope that helps.

Hi, I posted a question about which rig to use for Aqueduct fishing earlier, and someone suggested using a popper.Could someone provide a link on a guide? Or if you could explain that would work too. What weight? What line? Etc. Thank you again! Really enjoying the forums.

Hi everyone. I have been fishing since I was a young boy, but my father was always the one to take me. Sadly, he passed away, and I hardly remember his techniques. Now that I am older I have been picking up fishing more often. My favorite spot to fish is the Aqueducts out by Taft. I usually use the fish finder rig (I think) that's the rig where I have a round 1 oz weight, a swivel, and then my leader line right? I use cut sardines as bait, and I cast it out and let it sit. The knot I use is the improved clinch knot. My line I use is a 8lb test but I think it's too weak, since my last attempts at fishing my line has snapped when a fish is on. Is that too weak? Anyway, on to the real question. I have been reading about the Carolina rig. Would anyone recommend that for aqueduct fishing? With that rig, do I have to reel in my line while fishing, or can I let it sit like the fish finder rig? Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the replies guys. I will move the topic over!
