Even a couple of catfishermen we talked to said they had not caught any. Tough day.

Well you didn't miss much at the Rock so don't feel bad

Sometimes it take a day like that one to humble us fishermen. Stay after 'em. It is fixing to get GOOD!

Sunday the striper bite was decent, very good size 6-8 pounders. Even had a school come up at 630. Lower lake. Ditch the Arigs and pull live shad.

Pete would have a heart attack if he saw that statement. lol. I use to pull shad for them too. Still do on occasion but wife hates catching them so we usually just pull the a rigs. May have to give them a try. Thanks bio.

Bump

water temp today was 56 to 57 above state park and the cats were biting, little dingy not bad for cats.

Think I am going to give the cats there a try. My wife loves to catch them as well. What depths should I target this time of the year for the big cats? I am guessing they are starting to shallow up as well?

I was there yesterday, put 17 cats in the boat, biggest 46 lbs and I will be there tomorrow if nothing happens, caught mine in 15 to 25 ft of water, pm me if you need more info.
