For now, I would say catfishing is back on track. We are in the last of the prespawn as water temps are getting to 70. The past five days or so the big fish have turned on and are back in mid river holes feeding. It has been a pretty basic pattern of set the lines, wait 20-25 minutes and feel things out. Most of the better hits are coming in about 10 minutes and the rest of the time is waiting to see if there is another fish in the area.
Bait is my favorite, two to three day dead suckers. Dead cut goldeye is also working. I have noticed a downturn in the bite with fresher baits.
I suspect we have about a week left of the prespawn and the fish will start setting the nests. Right now we are about a week late for spawn which is amazing considering we thought they were going to start about a month ago when it was hot.
