[cool][#0000ff]If you have chest waders there are a lot of spots you can wade out to the edge of the flooded reeds and brush. The water is often only about two or three feet deep there and the fishing is sometimes pretty good just at the edge. Throw jigs or spinners right along that edge, or cast out into deeper water and retrieve in to shore. You can also score some good cats at times by soaking bait in that zone, either just letting it lay on the bottom, using a corky rig or below a bobber.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The cats have not really turned on yet, but I have been catching them from a tube in 3.5 to 4.5 feet of water , near shore and just out from the reeds. When they get more active, they will start coming right into the shoreline structure, looking for spawning areas. Then you need to fish the open holes in the vegetation with a bobber and heavy line. If a biggun hits you need stout gear to wrestle them out of the stickups.[/#0000ff]
