They caught 30 bass in 5 hrs with most between 2 lbs to the 2 largest tipping 4 lbs. I also read where our illustrious DNR just built Catfish fish attractors in Saddle Lake at Tell City. Fish on!

now that's what I'm talking about !

For those of you that used to fish Turtle Creek Res., it used to have huge massive bays of weedbeds choking half the lake and now there's hardly any weeds in it and you now have the entire lake to fish as the power company has kept it cleaned up. Just remember it's a shallow lake and when the wind picks up it can get dicy and wicked also. I have heard that they are considering restocking with crappies. I sure hope so as it used to have huge crappies a few years ago.

sounds like a good deal for you guys. what is a catfish attractor? are there pictures of them on the net? or are they just spawning boxes? they killed the weeds with chemicals, i assume?

great catches, keep it up down there.

I think the State was building them out of wood slat type box with ends open and a rock on top to keep them weighted down. I didn't see in the article anywhere they were killing weeds or anything like that either.
