Are the catfish the blue/grey fish tail variety??(no idea of the scientific name)
My grandparents at Lake Cootharaba used to make a lovely fish cake out of the flesh from them years ago. I was onyl a young pike and didn't think they were too bad. More fun t catch than almost anything when you are a kid, fought like nothing else from what I rememeber. I caught one so big that I was afraid to take the hook out and dragged it all the way home for my Grandad to get it out. From memory I think it would have been about 60cm+ in today's money

What sort of bait do you use for catties in the Logan? I found way back then that the smellier the better. Prawns left in the sun till almost black were best.
Can you give me an approximate area of where you go? Land based/boat based.

Cheers and thanks for any help.
