Cats on a downrigger

[briansnat]

The bass have not been cooperating on West Fayson Lake all year, so after finally making a mount for my downrigger, I took it out this evening to try it for the first time and see if I could troll up some of those trout I've seen hanging around at about 20 feet down on my fishfinder.

What did I get? Two channel cats on a Kastmaster spoon. One was near the bottom, but the other was apparently hugging the thermocline in 40 feet of water.
