Late July-August marks the end of the spawning period for most catfish, and it is the beginning of an exciting time of year for cat fisherman…the post spawn period! This is a time of year when fish are looking to replace the calories that they lost during the spawn. This translates to fish being less picky and more susceptible to being caught, as almost everything is on the menu this time of year! Mussels seem to be the go to food for the blue cats, while the flatheads take advantage of the bluegill spawn to fill their bellies. Perch are also schooled thick this time of year, and the cats can usually be found hanging nearby. I hope you enjoy these pics from our August trips!
