You're a riot Buck's Hot Dad. Will you mail me some of whatever it is you're smokin'?

OH HELL NO! You didn’t pay me for the last stuff! Now I’ve got the Cubans knocking on my door! And what about the time before that, huh! The Mob boiled a bag of potatoes then used a tennis ball machine and started shooting potatoes up my *ss until I was blue! LOL SSSSHHHH*T, I still have dreams about going to Idaho! You better find another connection! LOL

LOL Yeah, that one comes straight out of the 17% I was telling OTF about yesterday! But I thought it was funny for just off the top of my head. Hell there isn’t no telling what I might say, sometimes I surprise myself! LOL But given the equally silly question he asked me, what else could I have said?

It was a good response, better than mine.. Which would have probably been something like:

"No way, that's a felony! (check your PM's)"

Purely in jest of course.. Cause that's how we roll.. lol

A felony huh? Wow, he better be careful.

Beelzebub shouldn’t be smoking anyway! I have a feeling he’s going to hell! LOL Get It? Beelzebub, hell? Sometimes I make a funny! LOL

So what have you been fishing for?

Hmm, Beelzebub only holds sway over you if you believe in him... Place no stock in the imaginary devil, there are plenty of real devils in this world..

As for what I have been fishing for recently? Nothing, I've been sick! But I'm hitting the lake (Pomme de Terre) tomorrow with a friend to drift for cats and stuff. Wish me luck?

Yeah well I’m just messing with eric1978 on that but in the real world who do you think makes all these little devils you speak of? Never underestimate your enemy!

I hope you recover from the N1 killer for your trip but knowing you even if you still don’t feel good you’ll go anyway. They’ll probably find you dead bobbing up and down face first in the water. That’s because your cold dead hand will still be clutching your fishing pole with a big cat still attached on the other end! LOL

I hope you make it back but more importantly I hope your friend is well versed with the lay of the land and knows where to fish for cats. I hear that lake has a good number of blues, channels and flatheads in it but lets be real here. The water temperature there is around 57 degrees and cats are not that active in that temperature. On top of that we have a passing cold front with high pressure right on its heels. My first instinct would not be to bobber fish. Unless your friend knows something I don’t, I would fish the deeper holes with a three way swivel. My rig would be set up like this: I would use a 1 oz bell sinker tied on with lighter line than what is on my reel. That way if you hang up you can break off the sinker without loosing the rest of your rigging. 3 feet above your bell sinker use a three way swivel. One line runs to your pole, the other to your sinker and the third about 2 foot long attached to a kale hook. Kale hooks hook them in the corner of their mouths 95% of the time so have some needle nose pliers handy. Keep your bell sinker in contact with the bottom, bouncing along. Use cut bait like bluegill and leave that hook exposed. Don’t try and hide it in the bait. Catfish have the best smell of any fish that swim. Even so only use a piece of bait for no longer that 10 or 15 minutes. If he has a fish finder target and fish only found fish and leave the guess work for a warmer day.

If with the fish finder you’re still having trouble locating fish in the deep holes then get on the points extending from shore. Look for the longest, narrowest, deepest, sharpest drop off to the deepest water in the area. There you should find fish when it’s feeding time. Of course you probably already know all this but what the heck I said it anyways.

Good luck and happy hunting just in case I don’t see you again until you get back.

P.S. Remember a good fitting, fastened, worn at all times life jacket is the key to quick body recovery! LOL
