Fishing shallow for big channels

Are the large channels in shallow water early and late?

i like to go early so so i can see across the lake i take off and i stay there most of the day only if i am not getting any thing do to the sun and heat i will go deeper i never do as will in say 20 ft as i do in 2 ft to day i fished waco and we did really well with lot of larg channels a lot in of 10-11in fish as well me moved to deeper water and were still picking up a lot of smaller fish we did catch quit a few larger fish but it took a lot of moving to finally fined from up in a creek by the dam

It makes sense the catfish will be shallow some . The shad are spawning or have recently spawned on the lakes which means plenty of shallow food. Also, with the thermocline setting up on area lakes it gives the fish less water to live in. I really think time of day is not a huge factor on catfish location.

like i said most days i will stay there all day I will only go deep if the bit slow down other then that i fish the challis 1-6 ft in the stups or vegetation on waco Lime stone I will stay shallow all day I am going to go learn Mexia my self I have heard it is an extent lake for cats it is a shallow lake to be gin with with murky water but support to be extent fishing one the the biggest things is leaning to fish with the wind to you back and how to chum so it blow the sent straight from the boat so if you have to line up at an angle do bee it

You will catch better channels in the fall and winter as the water cools.

fish in shaded areas that are shallow.....like the lilly pads

I have been get up to 7lb fish out of limestone in 2ft of water i hardly ever go deep till the water cools off the other day after i dropped my clients off my son and i went to the creek on waco by the dame and pick up a few 14in fish in 24ft of water but we were just seeing if they were in there then we left we were using dough bait and slip corks
