Thinking about hitting the grand next weekend to get out in the new boat what do u use for cats this time of year?? I've only fished them in the summer Early spring, I have my best luck with chicken livers, or other blood/stink bait. As the year progresses, I switch to more and more fish based baits. Live bluegills or sucker minnows are by far my most productive baits. although, on some days, they will only hit fresh cut bait. still other days i have to go to my salt cured cutbaits. bring a variety of baits, and keep moving. Hit every deep logjam you can find. Stay 15 minutes, if you don't get a fish, move to the next spot. Also don't overlook 7-10 foot stretches. The cats move onto them in the evening, and hunt for clams and crawfish. |

That's approaching warm water fishing. When the water is 40-50 degrees I like stink/bloodbaits. anything warmer, and you need to use fish.
