Wasn’t really fishing for catfish but this one was hungry obviously. Was just throwing out a chrome spoon with a little feather over the hooks. Works for a lot of different fish. About 30-40 feet from the bank in little pockets.

I focused on areas about 30-40 feet from the bank. There’s good vegetation and cover around the bank areas and makes for hot spots for fish.
