Trolling for pre spawn channel cats.

[fishfindergeneral]

The channel cats are in pre spawn in Dale Hollow. Trolling crank baits and spoons on down riggers is getting the job done. For you guys that fish for cats, you know how hard they fight.

I myself have no wisdom beyond ...Just do it

That is what pays off the most is being out there during good days and bad.

Daves spent years and years refining the techniques/fish patterns up there on Dale Hollow. Trolling is successful anywhere for multiple species from a kayak to a center console. They key is to get out and follow seasonal patterns that you learn in time.

Go do it Suggs, you will catch fish.

You can be as simple as just pulling a line with a crankbait on it or as complex as Dave with downriggers and a fishhawk.

Sorry, bycatches? Do you mean other species? If so, this week week also caught some walleye, smallies and bows.

It's Yankee for: What do you catch besides catfish?

I'm not fluent in Yankeese, but I manage. :D

Bunch of Cats chasing Cats...Don't know if I would let that many Kentucky fans in my boat...

Looks like you've been having some fun!

[fishfindergeneral]

FloatnFish, for the right price, I might even take you out fishing. ;)

[FloatNFish]

Don't threaten me with a good time! One of these days I'm gonna make it up there and try to learn a bit about walleye fishing.

[fishfindergeneral]

Tdub put them here in the Cumberland. I've still yet to hear anything about them. If people are catching them, they're smart to be tight lipped.

[Alphahawk]

That's a nice bunch of cats....and they do fight hard. Looks like some happy clients.
