Was out there earlier as well. Just a few small cats.

The only place i really marked fish with the fish finder were in old strip pits. hanging on ledges about 10 - 15 feet down. threw everything from shad raps to large roaches and crawlers couldn't get any to hit in these holes. water temp reading was avg 68. I gave up on that lake a while ago but had to get out today for a little bit since it was close to home.

Maybe somebody has other ideas on how to get fish bigger than 8 inch cats to bite.
