When is it time to start running yo-yo's?
I know, some of you guy's think it is cheating. But, if you only get it go one a month, need to make the best of it.
My kids love it. that and running jugs for catfish in the summer. It's something the whole family can do. I give each one a job of netting the fish, getting a minnow, opening live well. Hold the light. I just drive the boat. My youngest daughter is already asking "when we doing?"
Id guess 1-3 weeks just depending on the weather
RIGHT NOW!!! They are catching them now from what i have been hearing.
On some lakes you catch catch fish just about all year on set hooks, including YoYo. Pick shallow lakes or lakes with above normal high water levels to use yoyos.
And dont overlook jug fishing for catfish in the spring either.Thumbs Up
Right now,,just pull out more string!
Yo Yo time is when the snakes and wasp leave the trees.
Agreed!Quote:

Catch all the cats you want at Horseshoe Lake in Hughes AR. right now on jugs. They just stocked a bunch of Fultons there. I call em hump backs, but they are great eatin in the cold water.

Yo-Yo's are always good at Midway Lake too. That's also in East Ark. near Hughes.

With these temps. we are having. I would seriously consider Old Town. The middle of next month is when one needs to start looking down there. I'm thinking of heading down there this weekend but, not to run yo-yo's; though, I will have some in the boat.
Right now. If I were going to fish yo-yo's I would find oxbow lakes and I usually never put my minnow below 6" deep. Especially at Old town or you will catch way to many catfish.
AGFC and books call them Blues . Them Blues are really good unless they are real big.IMOQuote:
