6. We are currently able to catch catfish in the daylight hours although the best fishing is towards evening. We are not getting the giants but we have caught them up to 14#. Now would be a good time to book a catfish trip if you want to fish in the day time.
7. The river conditions have fluctuated tremendously over the past week. The forecast is for stable conditions the next several days and the river will be dropping and clearing. I anticipate the bass fishing will get back on track this week and be very good.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND LUV THE TUG………REB
