Went to the dam today. What a day it was. My fishing buddy and I left at first light and caught bait first. Then hit the boils next. Determined to catch some stripers Ifished with a stick bait first ten min. My buddy done caught four big catfish could not stand it. I cut off and put on a hook and sinker and hook.From there on non stop catching of blues and channels. So if you want to catch some catfish you better go before the water comes up.All you need is some hearingand a 2 oz. sinker and of course hook. Hang on the biggest we caught was about 25 lbs. So much fun inso little time go try it you will not regret it. sighned bird hunter
