in line by 4 am (Early bird gets the worm). Started off fishing levitz corner which is on fire right now, Had one rod set up Shrimp & mallow other rod with nightcrawler & mallow and they both did the job for me. bite was consistent from 6 am to 7 am picked up 3 kitties and died off right after which happens to me every time. i couldn't leave without my limit so i keep casting & casting until i finally stick 2 more limited out by 10 am. as i'm packing my stuff i see a couple of Bass cruising the shore so i throw out a fly line nightcrawler and boom fish on a nice healthy 2-3lb bass which was released to swim another day. that last cast definitely made the trip
Trick to catfishing is if they don't bite with in 15-30 mins move spots until you finally find the school, Catfish tend to stack up on each other once you have the lake dialed in show up early and fish your favorite hole. As for baits i would recommend shrimp, nightcrawlers, mackerel (fresh) & meal worms tipped off with mallows on the eye of the hook.
big thank's to fishinglakes.com for the quality stocking each week
