Hunterjohnny Report post Posted March 16, 2012 Well I thought I would throw up a quick fishing report. Us bank fishing cat fishers are usually unrepresented among the fishing pages so here's one for us. Hit Bartlett Sunday afternoon and spent the night fishing for cats. The lake level is low, I think the report was 35%. There are no boat ramps in the water, everything is launched off the beaches. Lots of shallow water but its nice and clear. Still a little cold to walk in for us older folks. I didn’t see anyone on bank or boat having much action going on. Boats out all night were quiet so I can guess not much action with crappie or bass cranking up yet. But we did catch catfish. They were small to smaller but we had action the whole time we were there. I bet there wasn’t half an hour without someone reeling one in. But of course we were fishing in what we now call Small Cat Hole so no monsters to be had. If any of you get the change to try the dip bait and a sponge hook that’s all we could get hits on. Liver, shad, and even hotdogs struck out. And don’t act like you’ve never fished with hot dogs! Nice time to get the kids out, but friggen cold at night. I talked them all into sleeping on the ground with no tent and boy that was a bad call. Here’s a few pics, enjoy. Water level is down, but where else can you drive down and camp next to the water! Nice day to sit and do nothing but watch a pole! Thats my "Happy Place" just staring at the pole and thinking of nothing. Biggest catch of the night. My daughter needed help. This wasnt my biggest and that weird sunlight made my hair look grey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
