going tonight

[fox_76]

going to go out for the first night trip of the year tonight, wish me luck, i'm going to try for some cats, i've heard they have been picking up a little bit, i'll be trying a bait that i was turned on to, chicken livers mixed with the powder from some mac and cheese, a little garlic, and a can of sardines. that's why you should wish me luck and i'll let you know how it turns out!

well the night went ok, not a stringer buster or anything but did manage to trick a couple of smaller channels in. didn't seem to be biting real well. did receive a ton of small bites around 1 to 3 am.

What kind of water did you fish? Depth, terrain... fishing from a boat? bank?

Fishing these lakes for cats is an untapped resource, just like fishing for carp. Everybody writes about bass fishing- the subject is covered thoroughly but when the bass get tough (like now) there are other fish in the lake!

well i fished a cove there @ high point, used to be a pretty deep with small to mid sized rock (4 to 5 inch) bottom. tried from a boat for a little while then banked it for the rest of the evening, got a ton of bites, there were some weeds, and the water was about 10 to 12 feet out in the center, (unless my buddies fish finder is questionable). oh yeah and i fell in first thing launchin' the boat!

planning on going again tonight, will probably hit a local river/stream, its very upper end of pomme river just outside of bolivar, or might try hittin' up @ high point again,... as always i'll let you know the outcome.
