June/July report
June and July are two of the toughest months for catfishing, as the fish put their appetites aside for a few weeks in order to focus on spawning. However, by being adaptable you can still manage to consistently put fish in the boat. All fish do not spawn at the same time….so while fish in one area may be in a pre-spawn pattern, fish in another part of the lake may already be post-spawn.  Variables such as water temperatures and moon cycles can have a big effect on the bite this time of year! But stay persistent and you will still find a few fish that want to bite đŸ™‚
