Since the last report the catfish bite has done a full 360. Storms and unsettled weather combined with rising water all but shut the bite off last weekend but as everything has stabilized it has come full circle and it back to really great. Just like last week the catfish are holding in the mid river holes near one or the other break line. That seems to change throughout the day so don’t be afraid to change from ON to OFF current from time to time.
Bait is back to suckers but I did hear from some tournament anglers last week that frogs were working. Frogs have been hard to come by so far so I would not rely on them as they probably are not a go to food source.
Sit times are still in that 20-25 minutes. It does seem that if you sit a little longer after catching a fish or two that a big one might come along but I would not waste to much time on that as there will be active fish in the next hole probably.
