The Scenic City Catfish Season is underway. I&#39;ve done three trips this week and put 67 catfish in the boat. Not monsters but we&#39;ve had several solid fish in the 10-15 lb. class. Most are the 5-10 lb. average, along with a few smaller channel cats.<br /><br />The anchor bite for big fish has been tough. The &quot;go to&quot; pattern is my standard light-tackle &quot;chicken breast drift.&quot; A 10-pound blue on light-tackle is LOTS of fun!<br /><br />We&#39;re often hampered (or helped) by TVA generation schedules. They&#39;ve been a little weird and mostly a little strong (34K CFS) for what we prefer, especially this time of year when cats often congregate near the Dam. But as always, we make due with what we&#39;ve got. Here&#39;s a few of the better fish we&#39;ve put in the boat so far.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
