Cat Fishing Trolling

It's windy,so put a sock in it. A drift sock that is It will slow down the boat in high wind and give the cat fish a better chance to catch your bait. This also helps us to troll with our planer bobbers in windy areas. Hows it work? Easy just toss in the drift sock and use your trolling motor to help guide the boat along the drop offs to the main channel river bed and back over the lip of the flats -We find the catfish on top of the river channel feeding on shad.

Our planer bobbers keep the bait out to the sides of the boat and dont tangle this helps catch bigger fish that are boat shy and stay well away from the boat. It also helps us fish more rods and more baits live and fresh cut bait to-some times we pull worm harness and add a walleye or bass to the mix. But mostly we catch catfish.
