Kitty City - 4 Aug - FatBiker - 08-04-2020

Finally had a day without any doc appointments. Hit willard's south marina about six and was drifting a Santee rig tied with marinated chicken thigh by 6:15. Sun cracked the top of willard peak about 7:30. Fishing was great early. I'd guess six or seven nice catfish with one double episode

. Sun came up and the fish moved elsewhere. Averaged a fish an hour until I left about 10:30.

Did you ever switch from the Santee rig or did you stay with it the whole time?

RE: Kitty City - 4 Aug - FatBiker - 08-06-2020

Cowboy, yes I used the same rig. The float was a fluorescent yellow and I'd painted red dots and then sealed it with a good coat of clear with lots of small glitter. If I remember right, TD calls it his clown pattern. It's seemed to have worked well most of the summer.

The chartreuse with three hot red spots has been a kitty killer for a long time. I make them in several size fligs as well as the bait floats...for the Santee rig. I also make them either with a hole down the middle...for stringing on the line and stopping with a toothpick...or with wire loops on the end for attaching directly to the line.

I call it several things...chartreuse 3-spot, clown or pistachio. It is the top one in the attached pic. It works well both with chartreuse yellow and chartreuse green.
