I have no trouble catching all the channel cats I can handle. Problem is I don't prefer eating channels. I would rather eat a small blue. If I am catching channels in 8ft of water or less, is it reasonable to think I would find blues shallower too?
Thanks for your input, Scooter

It depends on what bait your throwing and what lake your fishing??
If it ain't broke don't fix it...but go ahead and work on it anyway.....

Sunday before last I caught blues in 5 fow on my homemade dough bait. I think this time of year the time of day may have some affect. After 9am all I caught were channels.
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

Ok, thanks guys. I wasn't sure , I will defiantly use shad and it cut bait. I will be fishing Eagle Mountain, content with just a couple of eater blues. Only feeding the family.
Thanks for the pointers, Scooter
