[#0000FF]Walleyes seem to take a brief break in eating after spawning...but not cats. They are eating machines that eat before, during and after spawning.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Probably the single greatest truth in fishing is that "you cain't ketch 'em where they ain't." One week everybody fishing shallow water kills the cats. The next week fishing is poor in close, but bigger cats are being caught out in deeper water. No guarantees. Start fishing where you think the fish might be, but be ready to move shallower or deeper to find them.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Along with depth is the time of day factor. Smaller cats will continue to feed actively all day...and some larger ones too. But a lot of the older (wiser) fish avoid the heavy daytime water activity and warmer temps by feeding more at night. Some...not all.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]There may still be a few unspawned fish swimming around but most have handed in their catfish Tinder memberships until next year.
