A friend and I went on Sunday afternoon during the rain. We managed to boat 4 fish weighing about 8lbs total. Not having fished the lake in over a year due to restriction of 10hp motor instead of 25 hp... Thanks City of Cullman (politics) --sarcasm-- It was fun to get back on the lake and enjoy catching those nice sized SPOTS..

Traveled out on Saturday afternoon for about 3 hours. One bite on a Rattle trap in about 10 feet of water. No fish caught. Tough lake to fish if not fished often. It is really hard to pattern the fish. Talked to a couple of local anglers that have been fishing quite a bit lately, they have caught good numbers on occasion, but not consistent. Water Temp still in the 40's.

Decided to take someone who has experience with Catoma, I thought that might increase the little experience I have fishing this lake. We fished structure and around the hwy157 bridge. Neither of us caught anything.

AWESOME place to catch big large head and spots. The only thing that sucks is the new 10hp rule but I bought a Tohatsu 9.9 and that is plenty fast for the lake

I've not lived in Cullman long and I have never fished Lake Catoma. I'm taking my daughter fishing and would like any information on crappie or bream. I'm planning on starting in early March 2009. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Skunked again! Beautiful weather 72 degrees front coming into tonight! Fished minnows, jigs (every color I had) NOTHING! NADA! ZILCH! There are fish in Catoma right? One of the hardest lake to fish. Took a guy who knows the lake very well and he was scratching his head wondering why we didn't catch anything of any species.
