If you're into cut bait fishing, anchovies or sardines have been productive lately as well. Anglers have been catching big channel and flathead catfish by using sunfish or bluegills in the 2.5- to 4-inch range as bait. Try a Carolina rig with 3/4- to 1-ounce sinkers with 12- to 15-pound test and a 24- to 36-inch leader for best results. If you're interested in world-class redear fishing, try using nightcrawlers around submerged grass beds. Some quality fish over 2 pounds have been caught here recently.
