Yeah everyone and their brother has been fishing cut bait and eel down here. So far everyone I spoke to hasn't had any luck. NOT saying the cats aren't biting the stuff. Just not any luck myself or anyone else I know with cut bait.
The cats ALWAYS bite Sonnys... I don't care if the river is 18 ft high or low, that stuff always produces. I thought twelve cats was a decent day for the winter and not biting anything else.
The river was kinda high (probably a lot higher now with the rain we had Sunday night). And the CURRENT was KICKING...
But the water level was ok. We were fishing near the 34 bridge (bennettsville) so we are up a ways from you. Our hole "at the right level" is around 20 ft. Saturday it was at 25 ft. So the river was close but still a little bit off.
later..
