depends on what the reel will hold. I am using a baitcaster for the pond cats around here. if it broke the 10lb i would go somewhere @15lb. another thing we do is get them close in and not reel them all the way, we back up on the bank and drag them on to the land by walking backwards. this will put less stress on the line.

if i find somewhere i will let you know, you probably fish some of the same places i assume. i will be trying willow state park here soon and will let you know what we get.

I've got senkos and catfish bait (dough ball shad from walmart). I'm taking a couple poles. I'll throw the cat line in and let it sit while i fish for bass.

Well i have owned 3 acres for about 3 years now but do not currently live there. I will in about 2 months, the house will be done then. We have a pond on my father-in-laws land that is next door that i will be fishing tomorrow. I have fished for bream a dozen times or so but never tried bass or catfish. I always assumed that the bream that were in it were from the very small stream that flows into it when it rains. Well I found out that the people who used to own it stocked it. With what I don't know. The bream are not that big and there are turtles that need to be taken out. It's was about 25ft in the deepest when it was dug for cattle, hopefully it's not to much shallower. Wish me luck, I hope there are so bass and catfish in there; If not, I will be stocking it.

maybe one of these days i'll start responding, but i don't know enough to help anyone, i'm just learning for now.

I hope this hasn't been posted before. I did a search and got nothing. Anyway, I was wondering what video games (fishing) you play or have played? Also has anyone found free ones online that are good?
