Cutler catfish

[SkunkedAgain]

Hey Burley, I fish out of the Benson Marina most of the time, but I have fished out of the Newton or Cache Junction marina as well. Cutler in general is shallow and a 28" draft will limit you. I'm assuming that is from water line to tip of prop at bottom of stroke... If that is the case then you can probably fish it okay, but will need to be careful in getting launched and out into the deeper areas. If you fish Cache Jnct.. I'd head west towards the dam, it's deeper that direction. If you go east with the current low levels you will likely end up on the mud. One good thing about Cutler is its mud not rocks so most of the time you only shine your prop, not destroy it.. However, I have put a few nasty gouges over the years of finding hard stuff.. Since I don't fish the CJ very often, I can't give much for tips down there. Out of the Benson Marina, I'd head north along the west side of the reservoir. You can follow it north to where the Bear River joins in and that's where I tend to fish more this time of year... Spring the main reservoir is pretty good, but now I have to go deeper to find the cats... If you're out here when I'm around I'd be glad to show you some navigation tips and point out a few spots that have been known to hold cats in the past.. Let me know... and Good luck.. Jeff
