Catfishing with Dad.  Launched at Cowford Landing to try to get bait.  Had a hard time finding baitfish again, so had to use frozen shad.  Fished 32-37' of water along the boil line on the discharge from Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.

Started the day by anchoring and casting slip sinker, but saw others doing better trolling and drifting.  We caught 2-4 then changed to bottom bouncing rigs.  Immediately began picking up more fish.  Maybe 20 minutes between fish, but most weighed 5-10# each.  Probably caught 12-15 cats.  A few channels, but mainly big blues on cut gizzard shad.  Some of the cats had big bellies.  Not sure if they have spawned yet, but  appeared to be full of eggs.  Fished around the green buoy.
