We jumped in the truck at about 5pm, and had to be back just after dark.  With a 30 minute drive to the boat landing, that left less than four hours fishing time.  Like most outdoor folks, I never have enough time; and this evening was no exception. We needed to eliminate water quickly, and find some cats.  To add just a bit of pressure; Tommy, my fishing partner for the day had never been catfishing before so I hoped to get him into a nice one.

High water can mean many things.  I've seen high, rising water produce some incredible catches when the right spot was found.  The problem seems to be finding that spot.  

Welcome to the new CatfishScience.com website. This has been a long time in the making, I think we're about a year overdue now.  All of the old articles have been ported over to the new system, and we are in the process of setting up new Video pages.
 
We hope you enjoy, and welcome your feedback.

In this article, we'll explore a specific piece of structure on a large river, and discover where fish might hold on that piece of structure, and why.  This is a real spot, where I've actually caught fish (the one pictured, for example).  The methods are transferable to other river locations as well.
