I always thought at least some of the cats spawned in the South marina channel but I also know at lot of them were spawning in the flooded areas along the East side of the lake when it was high. With the high number of shad in the water this year, I guess all that food is just swimming right over the heads of all those catfish. I know in years past when the water was clear the cats would chase the shad, do you think it is just a matter of them not being able to find them in all the murky water right now? I know along that West dike we were marking hugh numbers of fish that I think were likely shad, did your group mark any of these fish? It will be interesting to see how all the different fish in Willard fair after Winter.
