Cat fishing this weekend

It has been awhile for me, that dam job keeps getting in the way. Can anyone point me to a good spot and let me know what kind of bait is working? I will be in a Jon Boat and I put in at East Fork.

I will be trying from the Marina first, then taking the boat out if needed. Not sure what time. I hope to be out there by 6 or so.

if you run into jason, then everyone is doing the same thing. trying to get bait for tomorrow.

I have to take the wife out tonight and can't go unless I go around 11. if anybody hits them hard and can provide the extra to jason, then i can get them from him.

hate to be picky, but bigger is better. I WILL go out at 11 to whenever if it means having better bait.

I don't think my wife would be all that interrested in going.

I just wish I had a woman that would make the bait run for me

Talk about a dream world. Honey, will you pickup some drinks and ice and go catch me some 8 inch gizzards

She is still having trouble with all the talk of hookers and strippers.......

Right now seems that most fish have been caught in 15 to 25 foot. If you are drifting there is 25 foot water out from Collin park. I perfer to stick closer to the island. You will not be in 25 foot for very long out there though. If you are anchored up, you have a lot more options for where you can fish right now. A lot of folks are still targetting 3 foot or less. I know that some will be drifting, some will fish anchored up over humps and structure and some will be in 3 foot tomorrow. Several will be dropping by EF around 2 for hotdogs, swapping lies, and swapping fishing tackle. If you are still in the area stop by.

If you want to stick closer to EF, the two points just out side the EF cove hold a lot of shad and may hold some cats as well. I have not fish those points that much for cats. Have caught crappie and sandies there though.

Good Luck.

bait was prety good on the south side of the ef point to the n. tip in about 3-6'deep. 2.5 Packed bags of med. cutters . Another 2 full bags of hookers. Took about 45 mins. Made a short run to avalon without much luck.

Its T-wok time in the am . Hopefully be back in time for the swap
