I used to go to Cat a few times a year for work. We always got a bit of fishing, but it was all on the Cat Harbor side/back side of the isthmus. Its shallow and a bit murky there but we have had good bass fishing. We've even caught a few spotties in there. A co-worker got the "bass trifecta" (spottie, sandy, and cali) in the back of the harbor on 3 consecutive casts. That's a tough thing to accomplish with out even moving the boat. It you can make live bait the halibut fishing can be excellent. Hen Rock is just out side the harbor on the left side and can be great for calicos. Saw a buddy pull a 10lber right near the rock. I've never caught them but I have seen YT boiling right out side harbor. Cuda and bonito are there too. The Cat harbor side sees much less fishing pressure but I'm not sure if there are rentals on that side of the island. On a down side it can get windy on the back side. NW wind swings around Cat Head and right in to Cat Harbor. Mike
