I try to keep it civil, but this guy went and put his name on all the fish in the lake, now I have spent a lot of time and money on gas, and I am just a little upset with him for doing that, and I think there is a lot more people on here that just might feel the same way!!!
I do apreciate the fact that you are gonna let them know that it is ok to bite on them big ole shad heads that I throw out to them, I wish I could go Saturday, but I have to go Sunday if I go at all this week!!!
I just hope there is still a few fish out there when I get there!!!
Good Luck to Ya Mike, Wear em out!!!

Go back and read this whole thread and you will see that Tiny started this whole argument about the threadfin shad and he basically said that I don't know what I am talking about . That does not set very well with me especially when I know my info is right. I know Tiny is your hero but he is dead wrong about threadfin shad. Just ask any real guide on Texoma how well the threadfins do when the water gets below 45. He never said "You don't know what you are talking about" He was not uncivil to you at all. He offered his opinion (which was different from yours)and you took offense to someone offering different advice from you. IF anyone came off as slightly rude it was you when you told Tiny to "do some research" ... seems like he does plenty of Real world research. I still want to know this... If all the threadfin DIE at 45 degrees, how do they remain in the lakes? Are they being stocked?

LMAO the catfish wars next on Fox..... I get a ton of great tips and tactics from this sight and everyone I have dealt with is extremely helpful and entertaining at some points. I hope to be able and finaly catch another big blue I have caught one big un by accident 46 lbs on a power worm and I thought I had the world record basses older sister on the line and cussed it out. But it was a heck of a fight and I enjoy catching things that fight, then watching them go away to fight again. Great fish guys I am jealous of all the pics of the big fish.

Tiny,
Thank you so much for all you share about blue cat fishing!
I will never forget the day I caught my first blue cat using all the info on your site!
Unfortunately I am hopelessly addicted!
I have GREAT success on Grapevine in the spring and summer catching blues.. but I have yet to bag even 1 winter cat.
I have tried up in the creeks, deep shallow, by the damn, Drifting, fishing points, in submersed grass/timber,locating fish with the depth finder and plopping down on them... I have not tried bank fishing, however have fished in similar areas.
I haven't been able to locate any cat fish... I see very dispersed shad... the birds never seem to be feeding heavily and if there is any water movement it it only where they let the water out. I pay a lot of attention to the environment but it just seems to not be showing where the cats are. I am noticing LOTS of rolling gar and Carp. Like I said the shad are spread out everywhere except down by the aerator near the damn, they are VERY thick there (I can reel a slab fast and hook one every time. I was out today from 6 am until 12 and never saw the birds feeding, just sitting on the water resting all day.
Should I be out in the evening? I keep trying in the morning because everyone says the bite is better :-/
I learned very quickly once I started catching blue in spring/summer, but with NO winter luck I have nothing to go on.
I am at a loss.. I don't even know what to try anymore.
The lake is about 5 feet high right now and water temp is around 67 degrees.
Is there anything you can suggest I try? Autintatious, for fishing for wintering blues ya really need to have a gps of some kind like a lowrance hand held and see if lowrance has a free enhanced lake map for the lake you're fishing and those maps will show you the underwater humps and ledges that you need to know where they are in order to find big blues. not just any old gps will work for those enhanced lake maps ... it has to be a lowrance gps and if you have a gps type fish finder already then all you need to do is get an SD chip at wally world and download and copy those maps over to the SD chip ... gotta have an SD chip reader/writer too or get someone that has one to load a chip for you. If you have the funds the southern 2008 hotmaps chip would be a good one to get and it'd most likely have all the contour maps for your surrounding lakes.

Don't worry about catching my fish Mike, it might be a while before I can get out there, and if it is the little ones have time to grow up, I hope not though, I havn't made up my mind if I am fishing or hunting this comming Sunday!!!
