What's the Scoop?

Picture this: You're out on High Rock Lake, surrounded by stunning scenery, with a pro guide who knows every nook and cranny where the big cats like to hide. We're targeting the trifecta of catfish – Blues, Flatheads, and Channels. Captain Marc's got all the gear, bait, and know-how, so you just need to bring your excitement (and maybe a snack or two). This ain't no sit-and-wait game – we'll be moving, adjusting, and using every trick in the book to get those catfish biting. From working the sonar to perfecting your drift, you'll pick up skills that'll make you the envy of your fishing buddies back home.

Hooking into the Action

Alright, let's talk shop. On this trip, we're not messing around with wimpy tackle. We're using heavy-duty rods and reels spooled with line that can handle the brutes lurking in High Rock's depths. Captain Marc's got a arsenal of baits that these cats can't resist – from cut bait to secret concoctions that'll make even the most stubborn fish take notice. We'll be employing a mix of techniques, from anchoring up on prime spots to drifting along productive areas. You'll learn how to read the lake like a pro, spotting underwater structure and using the boat's electronics to pinpoint where the big ones are hanging out. And when that rod doubles over? Hold on tight – you're in for one heck of a fight!

Straight from the Horse's Mouth

"Can't thank Marc enough for a great day of relaxing and fishing High Rock lake. Caught lots of fish and quality fish at that. Would highly recommend Cats On The Rock Guide Service." - Jeff

"Great Guide. As promissed, he found those catfish. He was great to spend the time to teach how to catch more. He knew the lake and where the fish should be and if not, he said time to move then we found a lot. Great personality. Made the trip fun for both me and my son." - Michael

"Had a great day with grandkids. Captain Marc was very good with kids and spent time explaining things to them. Catfish were more than willing to bite this day. We had enough filets to feed our 10 vacationers for several meals with at least 15 to 20 fish in the 20 to 30 lb range released. If we come back this way on another vacation will absolutely call Cats on the Rock." - Max

The Big Three: Catfish Lowdown

Blue Catfish: These are the heavyweights of High Rock Lake, and boy, do they put up a fight! Blues can grow to massive sizes, with some real monsters lurking in these waters. They're opportunistic feeders, which means they'll go after a variety of baits. Spring and fall are prime times for trophy blues, but don't count out summer nights for some epic action. When a big blue takes your bait, hold on tight – these bruisers will test your arms and your drag!

Flathead Catfish: If you're after a true Southern slugger, flatheads are your target. These ambush predators love to hang out near structure, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting prey. They've got a reputation for being picky eaters, but Captain Marc knows just how to tempt them. Flatheads are most active at night, so an evening trip might be in order if you're dead set on tangling with one of these beasts. Landing a flathead is a real accomplishment – they fight like nobody's business and can grow to impressive sizes.

Channel Catfish: Don't let their smaller average size fool you – channel cats are a blast to catch and make for some mighty fine eating. These whiskered wonders are abundant in High Rock Lake and are often the most willing biters. They've got a diverse diet, which means you can catch them on all sorts of baits. Channels are active year-round, but they really turn on during the warmer months. If you're looking to introduce kids or newbies to catfishing, channels are the perfect target – they're feisty enough to be fun but not so big that they'll overwhelm a novice angler.
