New addiction = channel cats
I reported a couple weeks ago that I accidentally came across 5 channel cats while fishing with my Steelhead gear using a jig and maggots under a bobber. Since then I've been able to curb my steelie addiction by actually trying to catch the big cats. It has been a blast! I've gone a total of 5 times and have landed 43 cats total. Monday I caught 20 and today 11. Every single one on jigs. Weird thing is that I've caught nothing but cats. Not a single other species of any sort. They have been hitting during the day; no night fishing required. They don't really compare to a screaming steelie but using my light steelhead gear and seeing the bobber go down sure takes the edge off.
