"How deep were the bigger cat's?"
[cool][#0000ff]Almost all the cats we caught were taken in water between 6 - 8 feet. They went deeper when the recent cool spell chilled the water a few degrees. Just before that, when water temps were bouncing over the 60 degree mark the fish had started moving into the shoreline and were being taken next to the reed beds in shallow water. They will be back when the water warms up again. But the next few days does not look good for the kitty fambly.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When we first hit the water it was just over 52 degrees. Bites were very light and we did not start getting real action until about 9:30 or 10:00...after the water had warmed to over 57 degrees. Then the bites were more substantial and we got more hookups.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Earlier in the day our fish came mostly on minnows. Later they began taking chunks of carp or perch meat more aggressively. But strangely, they would not take fresh white bass meat. That's why it always pays to have several kinds of bait on any given trip. You never know what might be on the menu for any given kitty meal.[/#0000ff]
