Fishing Cats on the Grand

[Familyfisherman]

Just wondering if anyone's been down to Dunnville fishing for Cats on the grand?

 

Thinking of heading down later this week if it's worthwhile.

 

Thanks for any updates.

 

Excited to get started on the soft water

My buddy and I landed 5 up to 15 lbs. We lost 3 others and had quite a few bites but they were tough to hook. Water is still very cold. It is just the beginning of the run I think. It was definitely better in the hot afternoon sun. It is worth a trip but not at its peak yet. We fished from 11 - 5.

Hope that helps.

Fishing is picking up daily with the warmer temps ...been catching 6 to 10 in my 6 hour trips ...this weekend should be on fire...

I want to go this weekend also but it is supposed to rain

A rising river is usually a very good bite for Catfish. Find the areas were the water is slowed by rip rap or logs in the river and you will find them balled up out of the current waiting for food to wash by.

Some impressive fish for sure. Considering I live so close it's ridiculous I've never fished for them.

 

On a side note, just curious, do people keep those giant catfish?

My boat's in storage 7 hours north of Hamilton.

 

I'm guessing shore fishing would suck.

Actually shore fishing does not suck. A lot of big cats are caught off the shore by Fishmasters. Give 'er a go.
