My dad has gone more times than I. He has done good & bad. He was skunked once. The cats are not real aggressive yet. They are just tapping the bait then leaving it alone. Best to be holding your rod & set the hook on the bite (1 sec. after). Dink stripers are being hooked as well. I hooked a 25 inch cat on shrimp at the Munz ranch. The water has been up & down, flowing hard & flowing slow. 1 gate was broken shut. Not sure if it is fixed yet. They have been doing alot of work on the systems there.
