Kat Man.. When you get ready to come down to Calv give me a hollar. Like to meet out there and maybe we can catch some cats. I have not been out there for a while. Are you havibg your motor worked on? See you Keeper

hey jess,took a break from canyon today and tried some calaveras cats.started fairly shallow and caught a few keeper channels.on the way in decided to fish the old deep bridges.dropped shad and caught 2 blues including a 12lb the first minute.caught about 20 fish by noon

DO NOT BELIEVE PHINDS I WAS FISHING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM ON SATURDAY AND ONLY SAW HIM CATCH A FEW SMALL CHANNEL CATS. (GOOD FISHING STORY)

Bill G: A keeper channel is pretty small, 10 to 12 inches depending on the lake, so it could be he's telling it like it is.

Going to hit up the wall on thursday. From the first boat ramp to the wall in a kayak. I know of a few people who fish kayaks out there. Any body been to brauning lately? Caught some reds off dead tree point in about 4ft of water in the heat of the day.

P. Hinds, I am not familiar with the "old deep bridges." Where abouts on Calaveras would they be? Gonna try my luck again tomorrow. Hopefully I can find some cats. If ya'll got any advice on where to try just lemme know.

is it me or have the cats been biting light. The havent been pulling over my rod they just taste the bait.

Bigfish - Please let us know how they were hitting at the wall. I might be headed out there this weekend

me too will be going out sat pm anybody else, weather is going to be hit or miss hoping for day shower's clear night.

I went to Calv Thursday. Got there at 7 am fished till 10 am. Did not even get a bite. I could not beleive it as I can usually get at least a couple cats. I was using DK punch bait also night crawlers and that Charley blood bait B. I did see every one at the crappie wall. I hope they were able to do some good. See you all. Keeper

Tough going this morning for George and I. Caught 7, mostly off the windy rip-rap. Then the wind got so strong we headed in.

Hey Keeper,

I got the motor tuned up, new impeller, all that. I fixed the starting problem a while ago. It was air in the fuel line. Now she runs good, but I am in the process of stripping the carpet out and putting in a liner, sorta like a Durabak or Rhino or something, but white. I will be fishing there soon though, probably not this week unless you are offering me a trip in your boat

Caught a couple last week drifting live talapia. Overall the bite was pretty slow. Took home 4 keepers with the biggest going about 5lbs. Man was it hot but at least there was a breeze. Gonna try my luck again Wednesday. hopefully I can figure out how to post the pics...

My son and I went to Calaveras Saturday. We caught 23 using DK's and liver, but they were small (1 to 2 pounds). Some guys came to the fish cleaning station with 7, but they were all in the 4 to 5 pound range. They said they were using live tilapia.

Went Sunday fished the wall for a few hours and nothing was hitting. Caught around 6 cats using liver and tilapia.
