I was upstream Sunday where the sediment has the river 12' and the standing timber to the east was 8-10'. Cats are thick up there and can be caught with a shallow bobber. I watched a fish from distance swimming straight for me. Right before it go to me, it veered t pass in front of the boat. It looked like a big Channel Cat. I flipped my jig out in front of it and the Beaver Bottom Bait was an instant hit. The Huckabee Pro Series Rod did its job and wore the 4lber out. It was sure talkin fast when I brought it in the boat. I understood that she wanted me to let her go. I had no problem with that and thanked her for the fight. I wouldn't set a jug line deeper than 3' below right now. You should have a great day of jug fishing. I was hunting Crappie but came across more cats, sandys and hybrids. I hooked a couple of cats that straightened out my jig hook on the quick. Came out of the area with only 1 Crappie 12" but all others were dinks.
