Members redtickstreed Posted May 6, 2012 Members Share Posted May 6, 2012 Got to the lake around 1 pm started fishing for cats lost one good one right off the bat hooked it on a goldfish 30inches under a float. I got bored so I picked up the ultra light and tied on a 1/4 oz rainbow trout colored rooster tail cast out and started counting down to 10 and retrieving it steady pace I caught 21 white bass kept 15 big uns tossed few pound to pound and a half back no dinks. Around 430 pm tossed out 3 line one with goldfish one with chicken liver and one with worms. With in 20 minns all 3 had action and caught 3 3 to 5 pound cats. My buddy and his son showed up and on worms they caught 1 15lb one around 10 and four or 5 around 3 to 4 lbs. I left before sunset but had a blast, and before I go I will tell you right under the bridge I lost a monster flathead on a jumbo goldfish. I need to work on my knot tying. I would say this next week the cats will be tearing it up. God bless and take a kid fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straw hat Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Great info. I fished the rock rip rap earlier that day and didn't get a hit. The water is up to 68 and they should be ready to start spawning soon. Next week is suppose to be much cooler though. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 40's. That may slow them down a little bit.
