Trip Report For 4/28

[straw hat]

I thought after all this rain I would try for some cats in the back of a couple coves. I caught a channel and a flathead. Both around 2 lbs. I also lost a couple more cats. I was supprised how much the water had cleared in the back of the coves. Stained with about 1 1/2 ft visibility. I stopped by CC on the way home. Man, you could cut that lake with a knife!! Make that a chainsaw. lol Not many boats there and only 3 bank fisherman. They had two small cats. I think if we have a couple warm sunny days it should help the catfishing. The water temp was only 55 at both places. A little cool for the best cat bite.

Good job Straw Hat!!!! glad to hear that you are the first one on here to get the first Cat Bite... I wish it was me... Oh well Im gonna get mine soon and very soon. I was thinking maybe fishing the flats you think that they are moveing into that shallow of water or staying a little deeper than that. I want to take my son He loves catfish!! maybe more than me. Im going with some chicken liver I have had in the Ice box. Not the frezzer I have been told that catfish dont like anything right out of the frezzer let it set out and thaw first. And I mite try some live perch have'nt had no luck with cut perch yet? Huck

Thanks HF. They should be up on the rock riprap in about 1 or 2 weeks depending on temps. The eggs are still a little underdeveloped though. They may be coming up on the flats on warm nights now. I am too lazy to fish at night though. lol

thanks Straw hat we have'nt had any warm nights in awhile so I guess play the waiting game a lil more. But if i get an itch I will have to scratch it and go and find out. I will go at night want to take the kids and camp and do the night river monster action!!! Huck.
