They aren't letting water out of the spillway right now. They quit this on Tuesday June 23. So we saw the catfish but it was hard getting them to bite. Maybe they were all just starting to congregate back at the spillway. It was so cool to see big catfish swimming at the top of water in groups.
We found the catfish bit best on worms. They weren't interested in cut bait. So we ended up going crappie fishing, OMG that was fun. I had never done that before and we had only 1 lite pole with 4lb test. So we had to share that pole back and forth. I found any of the plastic jigs, any color worked all the same. I want to do that again. They are good eating to.
Of course I had to fish the hole at McCormick Park, sure enough, first cast, bam a 19 1/2 cat, wow. Then the next to casts 2 more cats.
Well thats my fishing report for Oxbow, let me know if you have any more questions.
