Cats At Springfield Lake....

[jbtiwns30]

Call me crazy but man last night during all that snow and sleet the cats were biting like crazy. I went out between 730 and 9 i caught 9 cats smallest was 4 lbs biggest was 13.5 lbs. Bait if choice is..... shrimp! For some reason they just nailed it last night. While i was waiting for cats to bite i was using jerk baits to get some bass to bite but all i caught or snagged were the massive shad in that lake. If you wanna use shrimp use the none cooked and still with the shell on. Good luck. One last thing u better be close to your pole because they might pull it in.

_{That sounds like a blast! Nothin like a nice active day of fishing to keep the cold at bay. Were u fishing by the warm water outlet? I usually net some shiners below the darn n use them. Caught a 12 pound flathead there last year, took pics n turned him back. Theres a chance hes still in there too}

Ya right at the warm water outlet....alot of people get snagged up there but if u let it sit the cats will bit so u wont get snagged up. I wish i could taken better pics but they didnt come out good enough with it beind dark.
