My evening started off fishing moon eyes on a wing dam that has been spitting them out for the last few weeks. I was able to catch 2 too add to my suckers for cut bait. By 7:00PM I was fishing for cats.
I was rigged up using the C15 rig, I followed Comanchero15 report, and a few tips (thanks C15) and I was on fish. With this set up you can feel the bait touching bottom and it is almost snag free. I caught cats on both the sucker and the mooneye. I did notice when ever I traveled to far form the channel edge up on the sand flat the cats were smaller in size. The first nice Cat I caught before dark weighed in at 7lbs. The nicest cat of the evening weighed in at 8.5lbs.
I sure was happy to finally be catching some whiskers. There is no fish, pound for pound, that well test your tackle like Cats.

Looks like you mastered the technique pretty well. I’m heading out tonight, you got me fired up to catch some channels.
They hit like a freight train. At first I was worried about trying to set the hook and screwing things up, being I was using the circle hook C15 mentioned. No worries, they hit and the drag was going immediately. They actually hooked themselves. It was good to be on Cats again
