I just started back fishing cats again also.i went saturday and sunday to st charls i caught a few small gills and used them for flat head bait and got some realy big hitters but set the hook too early also my girlfriend had a realy nice channel cat up close to the shore and we didnt have a net when i pulled it up it broke the line il bet it went five to seven pounds we were using chicken livers got a few bites around about an hour before sundown and a couple to three hours after we were fishing by the blue goose in st chas maybe il see you down there sometime
