I wouldn't have bought them at bps anyway because you'll spend a ton more. Check out universalmania.com. Call them for the best price but their site prices are still way better than bass pro.

Bassboatcentral is another place to look if you don't mind going used.

Well it sucked. Le'zero catfish for us around ruark bridge. Puhlenty bass. I hate it when I have to complain about catching bass. I tried drifting the flat from ruark bluff to the swim beach, nothing. No idea what I'm doing. I just kept the boat between 5-10ish feet and dragged our worms and shiners. Then we ran to 39 bridge and had more nothing. I tried the channel side too fishing vertically basically movingly along slowly to see if anything was in the rock along the steeper bank. Again more nothing.

I did hear of a 44lb flathead being caught somewhere around the campground so evidently they are around for some but not this guy. I wanted one 5lb plus cat for each of my boys but it just wasn't for us today. I kinda think it's a little early for the rip rap thing. It seems anytime I've had success doing it it's been hotter than this. I'm not a cat guy so I could be completely wrong though.

I targeted them yesterday in the river with no luck on cut shad,to windy, Monday morning should be good. I was in a few coves around high point they are there on my graph. On the bottom in the channels.
