JohnF52 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Trying to target catfish today. Drifted three rods over the flat in RB cove 0.3-0.5 mph for about 5 hrs over 25-40 fow. Tried to stay between 30-35 mostly. Cut bait and crawlers. Caught one 20-1/2 inch channel cat on cut skipjack. Only good bite I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Doc Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That's odd. I drag a Flicker Shad thru there and they follow me like mice following the piper. F&F calls them my pets.

JohnF52 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I usually don't catch much, and have not figured out why.........it is not lack of trying. Maybe I could meet one of you and get some pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Doc Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah. Fish from my boat. I must give off sonic frequencies that attract the whiskers. Lol Need marine repair?

Tanderson15 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 RB is the area that has given me fits w/ cats. I would not drift but would use my elect motor and work along the islands and all the pts up there. I never fish the flat itself but the side next to deep water, same as pts. Today I caught a lot of catfish there trying to get a walleye. 30 to 35 ft is good. I had one there last wk I could not control and it took me to deep water into the trees. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF52 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Tanderson15: That was me in the camo xpress boat in the middle of the cove, the boat with rod holders all over. I had four rods out. Did you come by headed for the cove ramp about 1:00 pm or so? Whover it was slowed way down to no wake as they passed, which was nice.

Feathers and Fins Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You are in the right place John, just keep at them there is no shortage of cats in there. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaver-Lake-Arkansas-Fishing-Report/745541178798856 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF52 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 It is a 36 mile drive for me, mostly on Hwy 303. A long way to go on crooked roads, cannot go there every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
