Catfish?

[Lakota Tuttle]

Saw a guy catfishin on little sac. Was thinking of trying it around aldrich. Should i try or am i wasting my time?

I’d say it’s worth a try. There should be catfish starting to go up river or at least staging in the last deep before heading on up river which at Aldrich is under the bridge

sometimes they just tell you they are "catfishing"..just saying....

I use to do a lot of catfishing just after the last of the ice would come off the lake. Of course the timing varied a lot each year. The shad have a lot of die off during cold winters and those dead shad float to the surface and freeze in the ice. As soon as the ice starts melting those shad would be released from the ice and the cats would come up and feed on them. Look for steep shores where the wind is blowing in and fish anywhere from 2 to 10 ft deep. On a good day I could catch 4 to 6 nice channels. I never kept the fish to eat though as most had been feeding on algae all winter and had discolored meat and a strong algae smell. By the way I always used live minnows. They seemed to work well.
