<br /> Been a couple of weeks since I have been on the water so I decided to do some junk fishing today and Alvin and Tyler decided to join me. The plan was to head downtown and chase some of the schools of cats I found a couple of weeks ago. They are still down there. <br /> The cats are holding in tight shools downtown and we were targeting them using drop shot 4&amp;quot; Gulp minnows. That area is pretty tough to fish due to the rough bottom and we lost quite a few rigs today but we found if you fish across the current instead of with the current the hang ups were less. The cats were holding in 10-15 feet of water and were quite aggressive. We ended up boating 13 blue cats (largest was 10 lbs) and one channel. We hooked and lost another 5-6 cats, got a tolken spot and two google eyes. Not a bad few hours on the river.<br /> Saw Labman this morning and on the lake and I don&#39;t they they fared too well today. I will say the bass fishing is as tough down there as I have ever seen it. Not sure what is going on but this was the 2nd trip in a row down there that I just could not figure out the bass. Better luck next time.
