Thread: In response to Blue Cats on local waters

You make some good points but some of your logic does nt make sence. Dont fool yourself as to think there is no cat in the Alb sound because of salt water. Last October I caught 250lbs of cats in the middle of the sound. Secondly those young cats might be omnivors but All those cats we caught that day were 3-10lb and were caught on jigs casting for stripers. NOt much veggies there. Third as far as the cat getting in the NW river through the Elizabeth river from the James is illogical since all water on the James,from Newport news Hampton Roads, Bay and E river is all salt water. SO these cats can be sustained in saltwater (which I think to some degree is true) or these fish were brought in. Four how in the world does a cat from Lake Normon to the Roanoke River?
