I have been fishing UL for 50+ years. There is no big secret to dragging a big cat on shore or in a boat. Its simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time and having meaty bait waiting for them as they swim by. Saying that I will add I never let my offering rest on the bottom but instead use a bobber. I like the wind to be able to drift my bait a little. I use standard 8-10 test line and shape 2-0 hooks. I rarely cat fish deeper than in 4 foot day or night. Between ice off - June you might find my bobbers floating no more than 6 foot from the shore line if there are rocks or concrete.
