Never targeted cats, but caught one 2 years ago while perch fishing in front of the Catt - had to be 20 lbs (on perch rod 6lb test - took about 30-40 mins to get in), so that had to be in April. Mac on myfishfinder.com talks about catfishing during spring (I don't think he's on this site) - but if you go there I'm sure he would give you advice.

thank you - let us know if you check it out tomorrow

South wind - lake should be fine. Questions is, can we launch?

Hey Ghauser....when you went a few weeks ago, were you targeting perch? how did you do? Yes, brought home 28. Could never find a good mark. So it was one of those days where you get a couple and then wait 20 minutes with no action and then pick up a couple of more and then no action...

Haven't been to the Catt in a few weeks and was thinking of heading down Friday - Can we still get out of the state launch (any ice build up in launch)?

I noticed a water temp change from Saturday to Sunday. Saturday the temp was 58.5 degrees 35ft down. Sunday it was anywhere from 50 to 54 degrees 35 ft down. We boated 28 in 6 hours Saturday and 12 in 6 hours Sunday.

Lake is a little warmer than what the map states. Yesterday, it was 46.5 from Sturgeon Point to the white wall and 49 around dunkirk.

The surface temperature from Sturgeon Point to Dunkirk is 47-48 degrees.

Slapshot - We went out Wednesday and got our 3 man limit. We started in 80fow of water in front of Catt and the water 65ft down was only 58 degrees, so we headed towards Dunkirk and the water warmed up to 66 degrees 65ft down. That's where we caught all our fish. All fish we marked were 60 ft to bottom.

Went out of the Catt this past Friday and got 2. Searched from Sturgeon Point to the Catt and found nothing. Talked to couple of others at the ramp and they were skunked.
