I leave Catawba State Park as early as I can get there, usually between 6-7 AM and head for "E" can where I start looking for active fish as I make my way up the firing range line toward "D" can and "C" can. I will position the boat upwind from promising fish and troll downwind with Deep Diving Reef Runners using mixed colors looking for one that appeals to the eyes. When I get action I switch to match what is working. I'll vary speeds and do lazy S turns but I'm usually around 1.7-1.9 mph and the lures are back from the side planers 35-75 ft, but 57 feet has worked best for me the last two weeks. I monitor Ch. 68 and 71 and will be happy to talk anyone who calls.
