Catch them on most any crappie jig in the summer fishing over brush and even have caught some in the spring long line trolling. Have not been trying to do that, but it just happens.

Well , I did catch this one on a 1/32 char& red on 6 lb. test line.Quote:

We catch a lot of catfish on jigs every summer in the snake river it doesn't make any difference what color of jig you use. Also we catch a lot of 3 to 4 pound rainbow trout on jigs in the snake River of course. We consider them trash fish they can be a nuisance along with the catfish:D.
Snake- that trash fish comment just cracked me up- thanks! :cool::cool:
I love the way you think! I am the same way I get so bored with trout fishing here in Washington. I need to hit up the Snake soon I want to get after some smallies and walleye. I found a little slough like hole off the Columbia that I am planning to hit with the pontoon in spring and see what is in there that is full of tree tops that I am hoping has some nice crappie and cats in. I have never caught a cat on a jig but I just started jig fishing this past summer so I will let you know what happens this summer.Quote:
