I fish Lay lake all the time. There are skipjacks in the lake, but I like catching shad below the dam before I hit the upper lake. Also, blue gill are abundant around the docks and make an awesome bait for channels, blues and flats. Use them live for flats. Give me a PM sometime if you want to fish.

I have never tried to catch cats at lay but the bass fishing is always nice. I whould love to catch some cats from there also but do not have a clue how to catch them there.
