Horseshoe chain and catfish

[dew2]

    I'm by Willmar,We plan on trying the Chain for catfish after the long weekend.
I never tried it does anyone have any advice of where to try to get some cats.The winter holes I know of, but summer for me now is a challenge.Theres so much water there with 5?to 8? lakes,A starting point would be nice to have.
  Without any advice I think I'll start close to where the Sauk enters,But by the ColdSprings dam area sounds good also! There miles apart-------Anyhelp?

Try near the 22 car bridge between Horseshoe and Cedar Island.  I caught several while trolling for walleyes.

 Thanks anysize to them? I'm not looking for big cats just 18-20 inchers would do for smoking.

I did not measure the ones I caught, but I had one that was in that range and the rest were smaller, probably 14" range.

 Thanks I'll make sure we try that bridge.

No thanks.  If my skills ever diminish that much where I can't catch a walleye, just push me over the ledge.
