Launched at Yellow Cliffs at 7, and headed up into the river past ship rock. Fished up there working back down to the island until 11:30 netting a bunch of bass and catfish. We were spider rigged with minnows fishing low and slow. We mostly fished deep on the bottom, but did hit some of the brush north of the island before heading into Cat Bay. Found some trees there loaded with crappie and pulled out 9, 8 of which were keepers and came home to the fryer. Most of the fish were 12 inch clones, but we got a couple of decent ones. Ran out of minnows at 1:30, and left them biting. Keep in mind this was my wife's first trip actually fishing on this boat since I got it last summer.

One at bottom of weight than one on a 3 way 12'' above weight?
So cat bay is that next to the no wake floats? I thought that was crappie bay. Cat bay is next to yellow cliffs from my map
Another question for you, in your opinion is there the same amount of catchable fish throughout the whole lake or are the majority of them caught up by the north end? Do fish at the south end hold in the same "type" of cover or are they up by the river channel?
