Cats Still Shallow For Now...

Glad we went to the lake yesterday as it is raining cats and dogs today. We had to work a bit for our catch of 28 as the action was a bit slower and the fish a little less than what we have been averaging. All that did not effect the taste as we cooked the whole bunch when we got home. 

Here is the technique I use. See the orange buoy in the photo. It's in about 5 feet of water marking a little drop to 7 feet than slopes on down into the river bottom where just off the point you see in the distance you can find 48 foot depths. Between that buoy and the point there are two creek channels. You might can just make out my cork in the front right center of the photo. 

Cathy and brother Matt fish the front of the boat. That tree behind Matt has produced the biggest part of the 68 catfish we have caught the last three trips. Maybe that's why they were a bit slow. 

As the action was a bit slower we tried one of our old deep spots and caught a couple of keepers and a bunch of throw backs. The cool cloudy weather with a bit of wave action should keep the cats in the shallows for a bit longer.
