Been out of the catfish game for about 3 years and decided to dust off the gear and get my line stretched. Not asking for specific spots just what lakes. I will be fishing from the bank. Thanks.

What area you fishing?

DFW area,but willing to drive 100 miles to fish.

I am afraid it is getting too late for bank fishing as most catfish seem to be going to deeper water on the larger lakes. You might try flooded timber on Lake Grapevine.

I was afraid of that. The heat does tend to push them deep and somewhat inactive. Bank access is very limited at Grapevine due to the water being almost 9 feet up.

Try fishing riprap early before it gets hot. There is a major period early tomorrow morning.

I havn�t been fishing in 3 months. Lavon is only showing 1.2� High ...........maybe Little Ridge or Clear Lake......not sure which Parks are Open.........

Last week as I pedaled up to boat ramp saw a guy standing there. Then another guy surfaced. They were noodling off side of ramp. I got my yak out and I looked back and they were taking pics of about twenty pounder.

Maybe a big ole perch as bait might do the trick.

Getting too hot for you to fish!!! I will just bring ya about twenty reels to keep ya busy!!!

Tom it's great to hear from you.How are you doing?

Yesterday, tried to fish cats on Lake Livingston. Nothing have gotten in shallow water, the water was very warm. In deep water (~22-24 feet) could catch only 4 middle size blues for my family dinner for ~3 h. Now cats are slow in my lake area.

they are definitely deeper could not keep them off my line in 25 fow

Speaking of deep water, I've got a pier I'm going to try very soon and on the end of the pier it's 45' of water.

dang that is deep don't have to worry about hitting your head if you dive in lol

There bitting on fork in 20 to 25 feet
