Marble Catfish

The European catfish (Silurus glanis) is one of Fish Fun Vrouwenpolder's powerhouses and can grow to impressive sizes.

Characteristic are its long whiskers and wide mouth, but what really makes it stand out is the marble pattern on its back. The fish's skin feels smooth and slimy, very different from that of a carp or sturgeon.

The European catfish is not an easy fish to catch. You have to find out well where it hides in the pond and often target these spots to catch one.

Our catfish are perfectly tempted by pellets, cheese, smac or herring. The bait is not only taken from the bottom; sometimes they also grab it when it sinks slowly or is offered at half water.

So are you really hunting for catfish and not succeeding on the bottom? Then try above the bottom too.

The catfish in our ponds vary in length between 122cm-158cm and can reach 32kg in weight so definitely worth a try!
