BC, what bait are y'all using?
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Dang it. I knew with the water being released I should have went this weekend and not scouted for deer. Good job! Bite was slow today. We only caught three and the smallest one was 15 lbs. my son broke one off that would probably have been the biggest one of the day.

Chicken liver is too easy for them to pull off. Years ago rooster hearts was a good bait but historically I can remember my Dad and his cousins getting baskets of skipjack and big shad minnows off the wall in what they called 'wall baskets' and using them for bait. That was in the 60s

Nice fish , I went Saturday morning and only caught a few dinks. , I did take everyone advice and launched at ditto landing. That's the best $5 dollars I ever spent . We used chicken liver without much luck . Do you think the skip jack is a better bait ? Skipjack is good for your bigger fish from what I've found. If you want to bring home a livewell full of 1-2 lb eating fish then stick with the livers. Shrimp, squid, and hot dog cut into 1 inch sections and soaked in garlic work well. I like to tie a snap on my line and use a treble with the hot dog weenies and just take the hook of the snap and push the hook shaft through the bait. It's harder for them to pick it off the hook like that. If I'm targeting 2-10 lb cats I take a skipjack steak 1 inch thick and cut it in half. Then I put it on a 6/0 Gamakatsu hook. If I'm fishing for the real big ones I use an 8/0 hook and put the whole steak on there. That's what I do so far but I'm relatively inexperienced at it and still learning.

Several years ago I catfished with a friend on the Grand River in Oklahoma. We used big shad minnows about 4" long and they had a round, black spot about 3/4 of the way back toward their tail. We ran the hook in the mouth, out the gills and hooked the point into the black spot. I don't remember how many fish we brought in 2 mornings but they were eating size, from 2 to about 6 pounds, and we filled 2 coolers both mornings.

BC, did you go Saturday night? I wound up not going. Got called in on Sat for a half shift on a project and when I got home around 8 I just unplugged the boat and decided to take a day off. I'm going to Wheeler this Saturday and Wilson on Sun to make up for it.

I went yesterday and bait was hard to come by. I did catch my new PB flathead though. I didn't have scales with me so don't know what he weighed but he was a toad. My previous best flattie was 45lbs and he was quite a bit bigger than that. Like always, took a few pics and turned him loose for someone else to catch. Nice!

We got up this morning and drove up to Guntersville Dam to chase some cats. Threw out a dozen jugs by the spillways and went and got in the swift water and did a long drift. Came back up and run down the jugs with fish on them, rebaited and did another drift. Repeated that until 1 pm. Wound up bringing about 25-30 channels and blues home and got 4 full gallon freezer bags of filets. Heading to Wilson in the morning for some more quality tIme with my sons and more catfishing. Trying to get the most out of this 3 day weekend with them before hunting club planting season begins.
