Nimrod,
Gotta try baiting them cats. I got lucky last week and found a guy that had 13 catalpa trees in his yard. In 4 days I gathered about 4,000, all as big as they get. Got em froze 28 to a bag, don't ask thats just how many I put in a bag.
I had been catching a few good crappie before Greeson got hit with the big flood, waiting for it to get back to normal. Work gets in the way of fishing this time of the year for me.
Might bait a spot then try night fishing to beat the heat.
