THANKS FOR ALL OF THE REPLIES TO MY CATFISH QUESTIONS. I HEADED OUT SATURDAY ARMED WITH SOME MORE KNOWLEDGE AND SOME HEAVIER LINE. AFTER WADING OUT A FEW HUNDRED YARDS IT DIDNT TAKE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE FUN BEGAN. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED JUMPING CATFISH BUT OUT OF THE 8 THAT I ENDED UP CATCHING HALF OF THEM JUMPED. I DIDNT CATCH ANY SMALLER THAN 3LBS AND MY BIGGEST WAS AROUND TEN LBS. CAUGHT ALL ON CARP MEAT AND ONLY ENDED UP WITH TWO BITES ON THE ANCHOVIES. I THINK I AM HOOKED ON THIS CATFISHING THING.

Glad you were able to get into them!! What part of the lake were you fishing? I was at Lincoln Beach trying out my tube trying jigs for walleye and crappie with no luck. There were several people out on the dikes trying for catfish with no luck as well.

I WAS FISHING DOWN BY THE PROVO AIRPORT SOUTH OF WHAT IS I GUESS THE PROVO HARBOR. YOU HAVE TO WADE OUT A WAYS TO GET INTO FISHABLE WATER BUT IT IS DEFINETLY WORTH IT. I WAS THERE FROM 4:30 TO 8PM. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY WALLEYE DOWN IN THAT AREA? I HOOKED INTO ONE FISH THAT PULLED DRAG AND FOUGHT LIKE CRAZY THAT ENDED UP COMING OFF 10 FEET OUT. I NEVER DID SEE THAT FISH BUT IT SEEMED TO FIGHT A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE REST.
