Fish early morning 5 am till 7 or 8. Evening 6 pm till dawn.

I used a 1oz .egg sinker on a carolina rig The current is not that strong, and the river is maybe 6 to 10 ft. deep during a tide

Thanks for your feedback.I happened to go cat fishing last night at 8 PM. The Pawcatuck River is just across the street from my back yard. It is mostly brackish water where I am. I went up river about a mile to get a little more freshwater. Using chunk bunker on a 6/0 circle hook, carolina rigged,I caught my first fish in about 20 mins.About a 2 lb. der .Caught another smaller one about 1/2 hour later. As it was my first time, I only stayed a couple hours. Probably will go again tonight.
