Make sure you have a topographic map of the lake (Fishing Maps Guides...) as a general outline to familiarity you'll develop. You'll be amazed at the fishing you come to, but I agree, the channel cats aren't there for you so much, though some about 8 pounds got caught this year...the lake is loaded with nice-sized bullheads, though.
