Hey at Cutler, in the Benson marina parking lot, I think you can drive right up next to the boat ramp with your vehicle and cast in there and stay out of the weather in your vehicle and watch your poles from inside. HOWEVER, make sure the poles are secured tight these cats are pulling like crazy lately and I'd hate to see you lose your poles to the fish.
I don't know how much catfishing you do, so ignore this if you already know, but the cats are liking cut bait, (carp chunks) lately and I'm fishing them on big hooks like 5 aughts or bigger (00000). If you put a chunk the size of half a fist the big boys will take it, with a few less mud cats... Action will not be fast, but fun when you get it... If you don't have carp, use a night crawler ball of several crawlers on one hook, this will work for the cats and also carp in the area, so it will do double duty, bait and cat action... Less worms will work better for carp, but also mudcats will drive you nuts too. I'm not sure what my weekend plans will be, but I'm only a couple miles from there, if you need something let me know and maybe I can help... Good luck... Jeff
PS... I'll PM you my number so you can contact if needed... J
