Trivia
Absolutely gorgeous attention to background detail in this short, right down to the chain link fence close up in the intro. This was a common feature in cartoons of the pre-television era, when shorts were shown in cinemas along with a feature film.

Goofs
Tom, Jerry and the dog sometimes don't cast any shadows on the ground.

Connections
Edited into Life with Tom (1953)

Mouse bait only a guard dog bites harder than any fishes!

This "Tom and Jerry" short called "Cat Fishin'" was one that was clever and fun as Tom sets out to the beautiful lake on a warm sunny day to fish a little. And the fish are swarming ready to bite only Jerry the little mouse is gonna be dinner as he's live bait! However Spike is the pond's guard dog and things become entertaining as Spike proves his teeth are bigger and sharper than any fish in the lake! Overall fun one that again had the cat and mouse in a different setting out of the house one of the better outdoor themed one's.
