Hi Pporter64
I go to the mouth at Elk Creek. Over the years of fishing, I and my friends who have fished for cats have had some big ones on the line. I have seen them over 30in caught. My son got one hooked, I pulled the anchor, turned into a power boat, dragged our canoe around the mouth for almost an hour, got Mr. Wisker up to the side of the canoe, I had a small net, no gaf, could not land him (it's head was huge and, ain't put'n my finger in that :>), took the line back down and we lost him in a pile of roots. The next year, I bought a BIGGER NET!! Warmer rain at end of April to end of May usually starts the action. Fishing right into the lake at the mouth is also a good area as the cats home in on the flow form the creek.
Cats are as strong as any fish and even small ones give a good fight!
Tight Lines.
