I've been thinking I needed to smoke some kitties so I headed out to the South Marina this morning. Arrived at 6:30 and fishing by 7AM. I've been reading about Santee rigs so I decided to give them a try. First catfish was hooked 50 feet off the ramp and I put the third in the basket as I left the inlet and entered the lake. By the time I got to the feed lot a limit was caught and in the basket. Continued to catch and release cats for a couple hours then turned around and kicked back to the Marina. More fish tormented on the way home. Found the most fish in 14 FOW. Seemed like 50 yards or so off the dike was a good distance. Either drifting or kicking at 1/2 mile an hour was about the right speed to drag the rig behind me. Turned out to be a pretty decent morning.
