To be completely honest with you I used to use (past-tense) a high/low rig with 2 oz. weight because of the current. So I learned to fish cats that way. But, last time I went out for cats I used that split-shot rig & wham-oh! Lots of kitties at Irvine. 10 fish in 4 hours. And not everyone was catching fish. Even 1 of my friends was not even hooking-up because he chose to rig that other way. He would get bites but no hook-ups. I am a believer now! I have tried the slider-rig at the duct and I did get a cat. But I guess I have been to stubborn to change. Well, now I am changing. Split-shot OR slider-rig from now on. 10 lb. test and loose drag! Loose drag cause sometimes when you lip-hook those dudes you can lose'em when you pull with tighter drag. You know.

1.5 or 2 miles out? Way past the bridge? Must be. I think the bridge is about 1 mile. Gotta go! Thanks Chet!

Yes Sir! I will keep it clean!
