Catfish, Hearts Lake

[giddyhitch]

Anyone fish for catfish in Hearts Lake? I'm a southern boy and would like to know if they bite on stink bait out there?

[rasbo]

[giddyhitch]

Just sounds like you and I are going to get along just fine  Are they biting at this time of the year?

[giddyhitch]

I think so out between Gram and Yelm area

[BLKBEARKLR]

I do not know if they are biting out there this time of year.

But just a tidbit of knowledge, I hope you are not eating anything out of there. I know they were doing a big survey to see if the water was any good from there a couple of years ago. With all the chemicals and fertilizers that were leaking in there from the Wilcox farm.

I put my boat in there about 3 years ago to do some bass fishing and it took me 4 washes and two days to get teh scum off of the side of the boat.

Good Luck with catching them.

its been several yrs for me the water looked like crap in the summer..

[giddyhitch]

What is it about all the fish and game. Just about the time I feel good about trying something new it's been ruined before I get to it.

[BLKBEARKLR]

Giddy I know it is a drive but there is supposed to be some awesome catfishing on the eastside.

Joe

[giddyhitch]

Yea, I have heard alot about east side cats. I need to make a run over there this year.

[yelp]

Whatcha think of these...Giddyhitch..

[robodad]

OK Nothing screams south like a good ole catfish and crawfish but I just have to ask what the hell is a "Giddyhitch" ?? 

As you can see I'm not from there !!!

[giddyhitch]

I walk with a hell of a limp, everyone says I have a hitch in my giddy up so does it work for you?

[BLKBEARKLR]

YELP.

My friend, buddy and whatever else you want me to call you, sure would be nice if you PM'ed me and gave me a couple of clues as to approx location of those cats. I promise I wont catch them all, I am on the West side and will only be able to get over there once or twice
