Between your posts and tgravely aka stinkbait tom's PM's I am in BidNiss now with my sonar.. So I guess the huge masses of red with some yellow in the middles were shad. I did see a lot of red/ blue arches above and below the bait in 40' of water and I'm "Guessing" that these were bass(probably stripers) and the larger arches on the bottom about 10' below the bait that were mostly "Yellow" and black were probably cats?? My color line is at 75%.. Very awesome thread. I saved it to my favorites and the pictures were the greatest help for me to see so I could compare them to my sonar..I think I will drop down a carp below my transducer the next time I get one to see the color spectrum and the next time I get a nice cat I will do the same.. Thanks again for the post Tiny and the others that have chimed in.. I have no problem with the run-on's and grammer.. I'm a run-on kind of guy my self so in my "Hick" mind the flow of the message is spot on.. I guess I have to get back out on the lake to try out some more settings on my sonar.. Great Post..Adios' for now..Hoggin' Hank'

most welcome guys and thanks for the kind words.
I wrote a book once but never found a publisher for it ... I know quite a bit more about catfishing since I wrote that book though but I ain't writing another one cause it's draining to put that much work into something and then not be able to find a publisher for it. I found one guy, Amato books, that publishes trout fishing magazines and he was very interested in it and said he had to bring it before his board of directors and they decided that they didn't have the distribution for a catfish book as most of their distribution was all up northwestern states. the outfit that published keith sutton's book didn't want to publish another one because they already had a catfish book on the shelves and didn't want to publish another one because it'd compete with one they've already got in circulation. I've got quite a bit more secret information that I've not printed anywhere that could go into a book but I ain't ever going to do that again. Tiny, I hear you on putting a whole bunch of work into something that you can't get published. I know others that have published books and had a devil of a time finding a publisher. I know that the folks at In-Fisherman have published a couple Catfishing books, and there is a company by the name of Creative Publishing International that has published a Catfishing book - don't know if you've looked into them. Also might look at Crowood Press, North American Fishing Club, and Larson Outdoor Publishing. Your posts are packed with such good information - you sure wouldn't have any problem getting the guys on here to buy a copy!!

After seeing Salsa's video, I thought that this thread should be brought back up. This has really helped me.

Thanks Timber Trout.
The information shared by Tiny in this thread is by far the most informative I have ever read on a public forum.
I fish for about anything with gills and am always looking for worthwhile reading. I have always been one of those "spot" fishermen when it comes to catfish. I never really took the time to fish for them except when the lake is on a rise from good rain. This information gives me a lot to think about and put to practice.
Thanks for sharing.
Sam
