cats

I am going to try for some cats this weekend. How would a guy go about fishing them, deep, shallow, channel, slough, bait? Just need a little info, taking my godson out and hope he can catch something to bring home. Thanks.

Mr. J? Where is Dickyville?

In Wisconsin, by Dubuque, Iowa. Best description as far as location.

Mississippi River

What kind of cats are you fishing for???

I don’t fish 12 (if anyone wants to show me how….), but with the flow as high as it is, you might try the Cassville slough on 11.

If you just want something to tug the line, you could try using chicken liver for bait. It’s stinky and little fiddlers will drive you nuts, but it does catch fish. If you want some bigger fish, you might try a small sucker or chub and a lot of people smash them with their shoe before they cast them out.

Thanks Gianni,
Might have to give it a try. Out looking for big flats BM. Thanks for the info gents.

I know that this site is from an author in the southern U.S. but I found it very interesting and helpful. If nothing else it gives you the nasty itch to try to hook into one of these potentially monsterous beasts! Good Luck!
