Trolling for pre spawn channel cats.

[fishfindergeneral]

The channel cats are in pre spawn in Dale Hollow. Trolling crank baits and spoons on down riggers is getting the job done. For you guys that fish for cats, you know how hard they fight.

I myself have no wisdom beyond ...Just do it

That is what pays off the most is being out there during good days and bad.

Daves spent years and years refining the techniques/fish patterns up there on Dale Hollow. Trolling is successful anywhere for multiple species from a kayak to a center console. They key is to get out and follow seasonal patterns that you learn in time.

Go do it Suggs, you will catch fish.

You can be as simple as just pulling a line with a crankbait on it or as complex as Dave with downriggers and a fishhawk.

Sorry, bycatches? Do you mean other species? If so, this week week also caught some walleye, smallies and bows.
