[Sumpnneedskillin]

I don't need a sign according to the wife you'll hear me before you see me.  Find that hard to believe, I'm 6'5" and over 300lbs.  The wife has spoken so it must be true!

Hope Rasbo mentioned to you to bring your own food.

is anyone going to be offering tips and tactics for fishing for the kitties? I haven't fished for cats since I was a kid and have no idea what to look for as far as bottom structure, depth etc. Baits, I remember were nightcrawlers, chicken livers, stink bait and cut up fish. What gear to bring? Are trout rods good or should I bring the steelhead rods? How big do the cats get over there? any and all tips are welcome.

last year i used a 9ft. noodle rod with 8lb. test.  what a kick.. i did'nt find that structure had a big impact.

[rasbo]

1/2  to 2 oz sinkers I use small salmon size hooks,slip sinker set up..start getting and freezing some cut bait..average fish 3lbs and up I would say...small gear for bass...we fish shallow water 2ft to 20 ft...regular size rods are fine..the marina does not open early so keep that in mind each evening if ya head out early in the am...
