Got out early to beat all the boat traffic. Too many boats by 11 AM. We caught 10 channel cats & 1 flathead(18 lbs) by dragging cut bait on the bottom in 25 to 35'. Also, we caught about 12 perch for bait & 2 bass. Put in behind Catawba Nuclear Station & tried some new places up on the main channel across from Beaverdam creek.

Did not mark the big bait ball I saw sat.
