What area did you fish? How deep was the water?

Been some great catfishing on Grapevine lately, including a PB of 51, a 45, a few 30s, and countless in the 20s and teens. I'm on a boat, so I can't help out the bank fisherman too much.
However - when it's been above 45 degrees or so, I've found the big ones in 4-8 foot of water at the northwest end of the lake. Since it got colder over the past few days, they moved and were in 35-40ft.
Was drifting on all my recent trips, including in the shallow area.
I would imagine the bank off of the rocks near Silver Lake Marina would do good this time of year, as with the water being down there is a significant drop off to 30+ft within shore casting distance. On anything warmer than 40 degrees or so, I'd be tempted to hit the shallows.

There's also some good water towards the NW end of Rockledge Park just west of the point that is now about 2' above water. The Creek channel swings close to the protected area and it's 30+ feet out there it's a good place for the fish to push shad shallow on a warn sunny day, IMO.

Last time I launched on the vine, Lakeview was the only ramp functional
Started out with nothing and still have most of it left.
For the rich there is therapy; for the rest of us there is fishing.
