I dropped my lines just outside the buoys and worked my way past the feed lot and back landing 23 cats including several doubles, the largest 26" smallest 18" most where 20-24". got them on several different flig colors, pink, fire tiger and orange, with and without whirleys tipped with chub from Lost Creek. My most productive depth was in the 17'-19' range with a few caught shallower into 14'. I will likely spend most Fridays at Willard this fall chasing cats as they seem to be willing to play particularly well this time of year. If anyone is interested in joining me send me a PM and we will make it happen.
Good to see you again. Enjoyed your report on the red drum.
Glad you got plenty of tugs. Catfish just don't get the attention or respect they deserve. They hit hard, fight well this time of year and are great eating...especially those from Willard. And when the "other guys" are stuffed with shad and being snobbish...well, cats will almost always still wanna play. Love 'em.
