I haven't fished for Cats in a very long time but I would like to try this with the grand kid's. Ray Hubbard and Lavon is the closest to me. I fish Ray Hubbard a lot for sand bass and hybrids. I have a deck boat and its not good in the trees. My question is where do I start? Dept, Bait, Location, Any help please.

As far as bait use cut Shad for blues live blue gill for flatheads and hot dogs or stink bait for chanles

Thanks but how deep for the different times of year?

Your best bet is to hire a guide on that lake. It will be the best money spent. Take the kids too.
