Catfishing must be good, damn cleaning station always has people cleaning cats at the end of the day.

I've always found the catfish to be easier to catch than the bass, lots of dinkers; but every now and then you can catch a few better ones.

I'd like to learn the gaspergoo fishing down by the dam, when they are spawning. That sounds like more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Fished it last month. Crappie bite was excellent most in the 13in range with really thick fillets

Amen Jimbo, I agree with you. Gonna take one hell of a Katrina in the right spot to fill that lake again. Then it will have to probably be restocked by TPWD.

When and if it ever fills up again, there will be no need for more stocking. A year after it fills it will be just like the last time it was full. Tournaments will return, and reports of 10's will be made again. It's amazing what all the new water does for fishing.

Fished today. Caught a carp load of dink bass on points. Went to where I caught some whites last week and caught 4 gaspergoo and a nice catfish for dinner. There were some ol boys at the cleaning station cleaning 100 catfish, so I guess the catfishing is on fire.

Goo and catfish caught on slabs. Dinks caught on............ who cares!

Goos by the dam?

Yes sir, bout 30 ft deep. Going to fry them up tonight!

I have some cousins that catch the heck out of them and they really like them.

If y'all have never fried up gaspergoo, you're missing out!

I have always wanted to fish Choke but never made it down there. Thinking about grabbing the kids, loading the boat and giving it a run! We will be fishing for catfish, are there any spots you guys could recommend ? We will be rod and reel fishing , but might also throw a few jugs out as well. Also which boat ramp to launch from? Thanks guys!

Not many ramps to pick from, I'd go to either Calliham first and 99 bridge second. There's also Mason Point, but it puts you right in the middle of a stump field (99 bridge pretty much does too, just not as bad).

Launch your boat and head for the sticks, there's plenty to tie up to. Fish for 20 mins and if you aren't catching them, move shallower or deeper. Sometimes they are really shallow and sometimes they are deeper.

If the fishing is real slow you could try to find some gators to look at, they can be challenging to find though since you're not familiar with the lake.

Went with a guide a few year ago and we fished the coves on the south side of the lake with punch bait using slip corks. Fished in two to four feet of water and caught all we wanted to clean.

You guys catching the goos on worms?
