Cold Front

Any ideas wether the catfish will hold the same pattern since this cold front has come through. also does any one know what the eyes and crappie are doing around the roark mutton area? Thanks and good fishing!!!

Eyes , on the flats and points use crawler harnesses, jigs tipped with crawler or minnow and troll cranks -- 15 to 25 ft of water -- you should catch lots of short fish with an occasional keeper thrown in

The catfish are still biting up the creeks on the flats and around the old fence rows on jug lines. They slowed a lot on the evening that the front went through but they are picking back up again. Been using small shad and fishing anywhere from 5 FOW to 15 FOW. We anchor our jugs so you don't have to sit with them the whole time but right now if you do not run them real often the fish will die on the line within just a couple of hours, I think the oxygen content must be very low in Son's Creek right now. Surface temp has dropped to 77 degrees in the morning, been taking the bait off them in the evening and rebaiting the next morning due to the low oxygen problem.

Thanks kkwal and lead for the info. we fished sons this morning through mid day. ended up with 2 cats from trot line and 2 crappie trolling flicker shads. finally got irritated from not catching any cat around greaser so we loaded up and shot down to aldrich and fished this evening and ended up with 6 more cats. going back there in the morning.

thanks and good luck

Saw some guys at Orleans trail marina yesterday and they had a bunch of crappie and a nice big cat.I trolled around with a blank wigglewart(all the paint peeled off)and i caught some walleye,crappie,bass,and one channel.They were all small but at least they were biting.Today i ended up moving my jugs twice and only caught two and only caught one small crappie trolling around.One of these days i need to get down to the south end and try for some cats.Heres the two i caught this morning north of 215.
