Cat Snatcher Noodling Guide

If you’re looking to connect with the raw side of fishing and experience one of the South’s oldest traditions, Cat Snatchers Noodling Guide is ready to take you there. Based in the heart of Southwest Arkansas and just minutes from Millwood Lake, we offer a bold and hands-on fishing experience like no other—no rods, no reels—just grit, guts, and giant catfish.

Our trips are centered around noodling, also known as hand-fishing, a time-honored technique where you go in elbow-deep and feel the tug of a heavyweight catfish using nothing but your bare hands. And we don’t just put you in the water and wish you luck—our expert guides are passionate locals with deep roots in the area’s fishing heritage. They’ll walk you through every step, ensuring a safe, educational, and high-energy experience from start to finish.

We specialize in nighttime guided fishing trips on Millwood Lake, when the water is calm, the catfish are active, and the stars provide the only spotlight you need. Everything you’ll need is provided—from gloves and gear to top-tier guidance. Whether you're new to hand-fishing or ready to refine your skills, this is your chance to dive into an experience unlike anything else.

Cat Snatchers is proud to offer fully guided catfish fishing trips on Millwood Lake, a hotspot known for producing monster flatheads and blue cats. We’re a top-rated Millwood Lake fishing guide, not only because of our experience but because we treat every trip like it’s our own. You’re not just along for the ride—you’re part of the crew.

Our mission is simple: provide an authentic fishing adventure that creates lasting stories, whether you’re out with friends, planning a bachelor weekend, or introducing your kids to something totally new. It’s gritty, it’s fun, and it’s Southern to the core. Plus, we follow ethical fishing practices to make sure our waters stay productive for generations to come.
