Catfish Report 6/6

[river angler man]

I went to Springfield today by the power plant. I've been trying right where the water comes out of the plant but I haven't had any luck there this week. Then afterward I've been walking to the end and cast into the cove and Each time I've caught one or two channels but then after you catch them it goes completely dead. Today I caught 2 and within 30 minutes but again it went completely dead for hours after that. Then eventually I got bored and decided to just screw around for fun. I decided to put a bobber on my line about 5' up the line and just let it drift out. My plan was to let it go to the dam and maybe even fall down it, I was really bored and just screwing around. It got way out there and was leaving the cove and I looked away for a second and when I turned around and turned back I realized I couldn't see my bobber anymore. I thought surely there's no way that actually worked but amazingly it actually did. Then I decided to do it again saying to myself there's no way something that stupid works twice but it totally did, as it was leaving the cove in the same spot. since that was my limit of 4 I called it a day after that. I caught them all on liver except one I caught on shrimp.

Another guy there caught what was easily a 30lb Flathead there yesterday on shrimp right where the water comes out of the plant. He was there today and had pictures and everything, it was not unimpressive.

Thanks for the pics and reports.

The owner of the pond I fish out, asked to clean out some cats. How cool is that.

Nice job! What did they weigh?

the largest one was about 2.5 pounds, the rest were smaller, good eating size.

I've been going out consistently since then and still not doing too bad out there. All the females are just full of eggs at this point, spawn becoming imminent.
