Bluecat at Williamsport

Anyone been there recently? Going Saturday morning to check it out. I'm not opposed to another lake there if it's better at the moment. I do need to be able to back a bass boat into it though. Thanks

Hey Juice,


BTW, I just responded to your pm on the Elk River from last Sept. Sorry for the delay, I almost never log into this site anymore.


I fished Blue Cat a whole bunch with my sons last summer and this spring. Honestly, I found it very, very tough, which is a shame. I used to catch huge lunkers in there with TX-rigged worms and crankbaits. The pressure at Blue Cat is unreal. It's a small lake and people are beating the banks from sunrise right up until close. I think electronics would be key there.



Honestly, the best luck I've had there recently is using a rooster tail.


Good luck!

Hey, man. No worries on the response. I've not really done much on here either for a while.



I was a little concerned about the fishing pressure on the lake. Figured i might be around a bunch of people in kayaks and other small boats. I've got the electronics to find about anything I need to. I'm just hoping to stumble into some bass and maybe find some Hybrid hanging out.

So, the trip to Bluecat did not go as planned. We caught 7, all about the same size. My trolling motor ended up crapping out on me so we had to cut the day early. While idling back to the ramp I noticed that the lake is prettty much a bowl, no real structure of any kind. There were a lot of what look like blue gill beds covering the bottom, every depth so I know it was not beds. Kinda strange looking.
