All,
I'm considering spending a couple of nights on the Cadron next month, but I don't know much about it. My bro-in-law pointed me to the Shaw Bridge as a possible place to launch and camp, so I checked it out yesterday. Launch is good, water looks plenty deep for my flat bottom, and I can probably camp under the bridge. Best of all, it looks FISHY! The only river fishing I've ever done was for trout, so this idea is pretty new to me and it sounds like a blast.
First of all, has anyone camped there before? Are there any other places I can camp on the Cadron without having to worry about leaving my campsite while I'm fishing? Anyone have any experience camping at Shaw Bridge?
Also, what kinda fishing can I expect? I'm interested in catfish, bream and crappie, and I figure there's plenty of all of 'em in that creek. I'm planning on running a couple of trot lines and a couple dozen yo-yos, but what all should I expect to catch with a rod and reel, and what sort of baits/lures work in mid-late March?
