The catfish bite below Chickamauga has been amazingly consistent lately. Virtually EVERY guide trip I've done in the last three weeks has yielded between 20 and 25 quality catfish in a morning trip. One day the cats were especially hungry and we caught 43.... otherwise we're always around the two dozen mark.

All on light tackle using my standard, "go-to" bait - chicken breast. We've had several 20-25 lb. fish. On light tackle, that makes for a crazy, fun fight. emoFish emoBigsmile

Here's a little video from yesterday when Tim and his Dad, Arnie (from Hawaii), paid a visit: https://youtu.be/by1pZdmeeFw
