[cool][#0000ff]Not me, but I have inside reports on some good cats coming in after dark. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]This time of year the water temps are highest in the later part of the day. The cats are often more active just after dark than they are early in the morning.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Look for shallow protected areas where the water warms from the sun but is not cooled by prevailing breezes. It is surprising how shallow some of those warmth seeking kitties will come after dark. This is expecially true of bullheads. Used to catch grundles of them in Provo Harbor at night, about this time of year. They would come in close enough that all you had to do is drop a worm into the shallow water straight down off your rod. Kids had a ball with a short length of leader on a stick, as a handline.[/#0000ff]
