Well my cat didn't count, I caught it on my set line instead of my pole. Silly kitty took the smallest bait and hook on the line. Makes me wonder if it's more location than presentation. Anyway the cats are prowling following the carp. If you find muddy water the cats will be there. I won't tell Ya what to do on the Sunday trip, I'm sure the fish will bite, but it's just not worth it to me. So far the cats are hitting everything equally. I've caught them on nightcrawlers, minnows both carp and fatheads and my cutbait wasn't very good so I put out the set line and got some fresh carp so I'll try that soon and see how it works. Haven't tried shrimp or stink bait, but the others are working. Good luck and give BLK a run for his money. Oh one last tip, most of the cats I have caught this year were trolling and moving slow. If you don't troll try retrieving one rod slowly on the bobber. I've caught six to two on moving verses still. The two still ones were both on the set line. Ya know I'm a little ADD at times so I can't just let things sit too long. But I have tried hours of just soaking too and it hasn't been working as well. Crazy thing, they like the crawlers trolled too. Well that's about all I've learned so far go get'em. Later J
