The water was pretty low, and all the docks were still pulled up. My wife and I fished next to the train bridge at Steck Park on Sat. around noon and caught 1 catfish, maybe 16" long on liver.
Went back in the evening and caught 3 bass. I'm finally starting to catch more on my flying lures, they really do better on bass than trout but I almost never fished for bass over in IF. Used some bass meat on a hook and hooked one 15 seconds after one of my casts, but he came off right near the shore. He seemed pretty big, I'm assuming a catfish but I still had my hook and bait so at least my knots were good.
I also heard someone out on a boat in the dark saying they only caught one catfish, so It was slow for at least some of us. Did anyone else have some better luck?
