Fishing researcher, Dan Eggertsen, answers a variety of questions concerning how you can catch catfish quickly and easily.

Evening Secret Usage - Catching Fish With The Evening Secret Fishing Device

The Evening Secret is a submersible fishing devices used to create a food chain "feeding frenzy".

It begins by attracting the smallest organisms in the water, called "zooplankton". Typically, most fishermen will see white clusters of organisms balling up throughout the fishing spot within 15 or 20 minutes.

Once that occurs, it isn't long before the small bait fish come in to feed on the zooplankton.

Typically results will bring a swarming ball of bait, consisting of hundreds of baitfish - within 40 minutes from the moment the device is submerged.

Once the ball of bait is in your spot, the game fish will move in to feed. Your next step is to fish the outside edges of the swarming ball of bait to hook up with game fish. Of course, if you are going for bottom feeders like catfish, you'll want to take your bait to the bottom, right under the swarm of fish.

When you get to your fishing spot with your gear and the Evening Secret, here are the steps you'll use to attract the fish:

1. Attach the alligator clips from the Evening Secret's cord to the terminals on any 12 volt battery source.

2. Attach a 5-7 pound weight using a string to the large plastic loophole at the bottom of the unit.

3. Tie a rope to the top metal clip of the unit, up to an anchor spot. This will support the weight of the unit, instead of putting the pressure on the cord.

4. Find a spot where you have caught some fish in the past - around some structure - and submerge the unit so the top it is 3-5 inches under the surface. It will hang vertically under the water. You want to look for spots with structure that are common fish "hangout" spots.

One big benefit that many fishermen overlook is the fact that you can catch all the live bait you want with a small hand net.

To fill up your bait container quicker though, use a cast or "throw" net.

The device works best in early morning, evening, and night hours. But also creates the swarms during the day, though usually not as big.

You can also use it from a boat (it's common practice to attach it to the same battery on the boat), or from shore. Shore usage is a little more creative based on your situation. Anchor the unit from an overhanging tree, a dock, or a pier for best results.

Next, site back and watch the show - and get ready to catch some fish.

The unit will work on most species of freshwater and saltwater fish, and is even used by ice fishermen.

Get out there, and enjoy!
