Round two for the chicken breast

[Slaughter-06]

I tried Chickn breast again this past weekend at Reelfoot on yo yo's. I caught 1 gar and 4 turtles, and no catfish. First time ever to get skunked on yo yo's for cats. I'm having second thoughts on chicken breast. :(

I caught some bullheads off of chicken breast the other day in a pond but that was it

If I had to guess, the chicken breast isn't the problem. It's the spawning action going on. There's a reason why the best trophy catfish guides in the south don't book trips in June. My grabbling buddy is killing them on Chickamauga pulling them out of holes by hand. They'll be back in a few weeks! Keep it going.

I would think with water temps the way they have been that cats would have started their spawn back in the middle of april. The water temps on the cumberland were in the low to mid 70s the first weekend in April. That was the main channel over 40 feet of water. And by may 5 it was 81 on the same water. Granted, up within 5 miles of the dam ,the water temp on memorial day in 15 ft of water was 76 .... A guide I go with down on wheeler lake took off from around the first week of may -June. He has been on them pretty good for the last two weeks!!

I think the water temps told them to spawn but their bodies weren't ready to spawn. It was too early in the year. Kinda like deer when the cold air comes blowing in the bucks feel real frisky but the does just aren't ready.

I caught the heck out of catfish on chicken breast this past week. Caught and released a 4 pound largemouth as well. Worked great.

I used chicken breast for the first time on saturday and had the best day I've had in a while. I usually catch a few z's while bumping the bottom on the Tennessee but had pretty much continuous action saturday morning. Mix in a little cherry cool aid powder and garlic powder and its a pretty good bait..

Slaughter, I cut my chicken breast up in cubes and soked them in with chicken livers. That seemed to help me when we caught them couple of weeks ago.

Only fish we caught off of chicken breast was blues tho!
