catfishing?

[sirfunkeybut]

anyone know of a place like around an hour or so drive from Yakima where i could catch some decent size cats? Or of a guide service that i could go on or something, It's been a long time since i've caught any and i think its about time to re-live some of those memories.

Thanks in advance

The mouth of the Yak has great catfishing.

Walla walla river, snake river, lyons ferry are all some great catfishing spots. Moses lake and potholes have some dandies also.

I'm definitely not a catfish expert but it seems that the mouths of all of those rivers into the Big C seem to be relative hotspots for whiskerfish in this state.

There's a guide, last name of Mayo, who specializes in catfish. He is down around the Tri-Cities area I think. Anyone know his name and whereabouts to help sirfunkeybut.

I think it's Rick Mayo

we use to do it a lot when my uncle would come up. most river mouths are good for some fat cats.

i tried a little down at the vernita(spelling?) bridge a couple years back, did no good at all. but i was thinking of hitting it up again, i hear that people do good down there?
