catfish in austin mower county area

anyone getting any catfish in the local area ??? tried above ramsey dam the other day nothing

I don’t fish for them, but I would think the deep hole in front of the tunnel at east side would be a good place to start.

I’ll give a try thanks Justin . Btw you’re dad wouldn’t be Bruce would it ?

Nope, he is my uncle.

It has been a few years since I fished for cats over there but hat I call the “Library Pond” seemed to produce more and bigger catfish than the other bodies of water… especially in the fall. Several years in a row I caught my biggest cat of the year within a week of ice up on that Library Pond. I have caught some above and below the Ramsey Mill Pond dam and several in the exact spot Justin mentioned and in a few deep holes of the Cedar River in and near town as incidentals while northern fishing.
Most of the cats I caught over there came after dark on a cut cheek chub compliments of Dobbins Creek east of town. Size was always good in Austin, numbers were better on Fountain Lake at Albert Lea.
