Bad news is we are getting really low in some stretches of the river so use caution. This is mostly stretches below dams.The good news is the bigger fish are really starting to heat up. Even the hot weather and water temps in the 80s are not affecting the bite all that much. I think the key is that we have finally had some stable weather, even though it is hot and dry it is stable. Fish are coming just like one might expect for July, right in the middle of the river holes. They seem to be hanging on the slower current side of the hole but can move to the faster side from time to time. No move is required, just cast to both sides and you will know which one they want pretty quickly.Bigger fish are still coming after a longer sit. The better fish are being caught after 15-25 minutes of sitting on a spot. Continue to give spots a solid amount of time 25-35 minutes to make sure you are not leaving fish to find fish.I have been doing ok with frozen and dead sucker, but the one-to-three-day dead has far outproduced everything else for me. Bait does not have to be that big in size to catch big fish. Smaller bait is actually preventing short bitesIt looks like more heat in the forecast for the next while so use proper precautions.Good luck to all anglers in this weekend’s Cats Incredible.Redrivercatfish.com</blockquote>
