Yup looks like that hole is chuck full of pint sized robbers... No wonder I was getting so many hits and couldn't set a hook...I dropped to a size four instead of 4/0 and it made a big difference...
Ended up with 4 or 5 Channels and about the same of mudders....
I moved up to an area that wasn't far away, but had been known for bigger cats, well they were bigger but only a couple inches... did get a couple that might have made 17" but nothing that I was looking for...
They liked your purple fligs up there and it was probably the best I've done with the fligs yet...
Need to take my carp rod next time, I found a good bunch of carp up there and I'm about out of bait so I better gather some worms and go try loading up again...
What type areas do the cats move to post spawn?
Sure seems like I struggle this time of year, every season... We used to find them in the river channels this time of year, but now all I find there is the nursery...
The water level has been up and down so much that the shallows aren't there or are too shallow to support the fish... Used to find them still in there at night after the water cools a bit, but when it's so shallow their backs would stick out, I don't see much there...
Guess I need to do some exploring and drag some minnows and see if I can cross their paths...
Congrats on another good trip to UL, looks like you found some good ones...
Well better get back to work... catch ya later J
