CC Area 2/18

[straw hat]

Felt a little better today so talked my wife to going catfishing in the CC area this morning. we drifted minnows about a foot off the bottom out in the middle of the channel. We caught 5 keep cats (all channels). The smallest was just under 2 lbs and the biggest was about 3 lbs. Also manage to catch 6 crappie (same technique) with three being keepers. Also one nice white and a 17" walleye. Not to bad for warming a rock with my back side.

 

I think I over did it though as I sure feel bad now but it was really great to get out.

Thanks so much guys. Doing better today. Getting old is tough but it beats the alternative.  lol

Straw hat, do you think the type or size of minnow had a lot to do with your success?  Were they minnows that you trapped?

[straw hat]

You know Knot Sure, I believe a bigger but not huge minnow helps. I have never done well on crappie minnows but the larger 2 -3" shiners do well.

I always thot  better success were minnows  and chubs  from up in the small feeder  creeks    But harder to access

You guys have any white success
