Wondering if anyone has any pointers for drift fishing for catfish in the lakes (Sinclair, in my case)?
I grew up night fishing on Seminole, where we'd tie up the boat to some snags, and fish straight down at various depths. Not much to get hung up on, since we weren't moving. In the river, I typically tie up, and fish down stream. Again, not dragging across the bottom, so less chance of getting hung up. Since getting our place on Sinclair, my fishing has been limited to anchoring and trying to fish "Seminole style"...or setting out jugs/noodles.
I've read about people who drift the channels, but all I can picture is constantly getting hung up on old trees or rocks or whatever is on the bottom. Any pointers you guys can offer would be much appreciated.
