4.Catfish Tips - Log Jams

Log jams house some of the toughest catfish found
in Kerr Lake. The big Bluecats and Flatheads become
picky eaters when you try to float a piece of bait
in this particular type of habitat.

The best method is to anchor upstream in front of
the log jam. Slowly release your bait in the water
and try to guide your rigging to end up right in
the middle of the pile of twisted timber.

You may loose a rig or two, but the challenge is to
get the catfish to venture outside and take your
bait of choice. The ole saying goes, "If you're
not loosing rigs, you're not catfishing!
