Thread: Cap't CAT 7/2/16

Nothing better than a good Catfish spot where it can be fast and furious !

Unless when get to your hole u have made and another boat is setting in !!!!!'

Since you are cookin with a cajun cooker, I suggest you make a little etoufee to pour over your fish. That is famous down here in south La. Can use crawfish or shrimp.

could you explain what you mean by they shut the water off and the fish stopped biting? also what did you use for bait? maybe i should try catfishing!

Arkansas river has SEVERAL dam systems on it. Well when the water above the dam gets low enough....they will shut the water that they are letting go below the dam off. Been my experience that when they shut the water off.... The bite immediately quits. I say "quits" but I probably should say "Change". The current forces fish in places that "breaks" the current that food will will get washed by. So....a place that the current is not effecting them but will occasionally present them with food. When they shut the water off....they come out of the places they are using for current breaks and can roam anywhere they want. And the food quits washing by them so they have to go find it. So.......my thinking is....when they shut off the water.....the fish spread out and are no longer congregated. Therefore they bite drastuically decreases. Hope I helped.

Great bunch of whoppers. I love a little change in taste from time to time and those cats when cleaned right can be really good.
