Wild things have the innate ability to know how to make the best of the seasons and this time of year, they seldom venture forth during the heat of the day.

While fishing for catfish at Lake Tawakoni with guide Tony Pennebaker, I learned that not all trophy class catfish are landed during the cold weather months and at Ray Hubbard, while night fishing off the dock at my friend guide Brandon Sargent’s boat slipat Sapphire Bay Marina, I “rediscovered” how effective green lights in the water and can be for attracting a variety of species!
