Nice bunch of Cats. We rip em here over baited holes. Ever try baiting a Catfish hole and anchor'n over it? We catch 30 or 40 keepers most days anchored in one spot.
Nimrod that does work well as I have done it in the past when I had some time to do it. But I fish different lakes all the time and they are all 30 to 50 minute drives so I can't spend anytime baiting. Wish I could though.
Today I fished Geist reservoir on a guide trip and they landed 18 nice cats with several over 6 pounds and the largest at 11 pounds. Once again trolling was the method.

Are you trolling suspended baits or on the bottom? What speed do you troll and how much weight is on your rig? Nice cats. Congrats.:)
Some suspended and others on the bottom. I use a 3/4 ounce egg sinker about 18" above the 5/0 circle hook.Quote:
