Fishing for catfish has long provided excitement for area anglers, as well as great table fare.
When the dog days of August roll around, anglers like Fred Brooks and Tom Robbins of Sedalia break out the catfishing gear and head for the lake. Brooks said, “There are a lot of good-sized catfish in Missouri waters, and August is a great time to catch them.”
This pair of catfishermen have had lines in the water from the north Grand River to Table Rock Lake with good success. Robbins said, “We began fishing together back in 1975 and have taken cats over 70 pounds.
