Catfish Patterns

I have noticed that the end of june is when i catch all my big boys. Thats typically when the Falls of Ohio starts staying in its summer pool. If you know where to go, you can catch 10+ pounders on the bank all day. But the bite stays on all the way through the summer and in the fall they start getting smaller in my cases.

Those river catfish are a totally different animal, as well as the Falls area. Those catfish get in there thick, and I've foul hooked many before while casting for the whites. Very cool place to fish that's for sure! What species are those 10 pounders you speak up? I do pretty good on the flatheads up river a little, on the flats with a crankbait while looking for bass instead. Ha ha ha!

Saturday night I was jugging Taylorsville and caught 10 cats. All of them were blue cats. 8 of them were between 2 and 4 pounds. Cut shad was the bait of choice.

The bigger ones are blues and flatheads. Never had too big a channel there. But i use cut bait for my catfish. Sometimes a whole shad works but i tend to do better with them cut up, plus my bait goes farther on a good day.
