Fishing - Re-Introduction and some other stuff

Hello all, Jeff here. You all might not remember me. I signed off April of
2004 to take a job in the Middle East, came back last July, Katrina hit,
have been working Katrina related job since then (Im a Government
contractor) and now taking some time off. Am back to my Catfishing. I fish
mostly Ross Barnett Reservoir. Channel Cats and Blues. Largest cat I pulled
out so far, 40 pounds in summer of 2004. Anyway, Im back to my catfishing
and this year I think I want to try some new things. Normally I just use a
large hook run through a Shad I either caught (castnetting) or dead just
laying on the rocks below the Spillway. Either that or a medium size treble
spring hook with stinkbait. Like I said, this year I want to try some new
things. I was reading the post about the hot dogs. I havent seen anyone use
hot dogs where I fish, they may, I just havent seen them. I think Ill give
that a try. Sometimes I also use small minoows if I am looking to catch a
bunch of 1 1/2-2 pounders.

Any recomendations?

TTYL, TIA
Jeff
