Fished the Tusc River with my dad last night for 6 hours in the TCBA catfish tournament.......we had live bluegills and creek chubs........we also had cut creek chubs and bluegills and we had ONE run in the 6 hours of fishing time.........the Tusc has been that way since about October 1rst.........lots of hours fishing for very few bites...........weve even tried chicken livers to get a few channel cats and nothing is working right now for us ..........has anyone else ran into a extremely tough bite so far this Fall season ?? i usually catch alot of channel cats and flatties all through October and even late into November........im just trying to figure out why the bite has been so tough ?? even the turtles quit biting .............i had rods in for almost 3 hours straight last night and none of them even moved they had the same baits on them when i reeled them in to check them.............ANY ADVICE The water levels have been extremely low for about a month or so now could that be the problem........i mean the fish still have to eat right ??

I dunno Brian. Seems like the last three or four weekends, its been one fish right off the bat an nuttin the rest of the night. This sat was an exception. But it was a long waiting in between bite. Seemed like ya had to be up an doin sumpthin else, like not payin attention to yer poles to get a hit. Like re-stringin a reel or wonderin around amazin yerself at all the silt the corp of engineers have so graciously blessed ya with. or stuffin yer face with munchies. Then ya get a hit. But then, as Sinker reminds me often...............Fish dont have computers to tell em when they sposta bite. ..............

Brian, They have mostly moved to deeper water untill it cools off some and the water level goes back up...
