Catfish — Wisconsin River

It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t give credit for a great channel cat bite for the last 8 days over on the Wisconsin River below Nekoosa. We found 5 spots in guiding this last week the are good for a nice clean CC from 18-25 inches about every 10 minutes… they prefered jumbo fatheads… with almost all fish caught on crawlers being dinks. Every year this bite just keeps getting better and better. We only kept cats to filet one day and then only about 10.

I’m a great fan of cut bait. Have you tried any? The suckers should be running and available.

Pretty much live minnows of some kind for channels,… whatever I want for flats… but usually smelly crawlers, and have never used much cutbait.. althought several guys have me net some shad for them that they use as cut bait.

I was scolded on another site to remind yah not to keep all the cats you catch…
