The Cat lake covers 1.

2 acres and is stocked with an abundance of Catfish (introduced in July 2002) weighing up to 50lbs+.

The average Catfish weight is around 24lbs and anglers typically report 2 x 30lbs+ landings per day.

Though not generally targeted, there are also present approximately 90 plus double figure Commons and Mirrors weighing in the range 12lbs to 16lbs but rising to over 30lbs+.

With regards to tackle, a monofilament 20lbs line is recommended and ledgering is running ledgers only.

A size 6 or 4 forged barbless hook tied to a 40lbs braid hook length completes the business end.

Have at hand a large landing net as the Cats can be over 5 feet in length.

Baits are typically fishy flavoured pellets/bolies and sometimes luncheon meat, squid or prawns.

A bunch of worms can also work when ledgered or float fished over depth.

Feed the float regularly with 2 to 3mm halibut pellet to attract smaller fish which in turn makes the Catfish “curious”.
