Been wondering where you've been smalliebigs.  Nice report.  

Hahaha....I was put in exile and pretty much only fish by myself now, which I personally don't like but it is what it is. I hate the stupid selfie pics....really need to quit those. 

I wish someone would go on some of these floats with me.

We need an "east coast " day.  I am generally off on weekends.  I live in Festus,  but am no stranger to the whole stl area.

Don't have a craft unfortunately, reside near 21/141, quite often fish the banks and lakes at the parks. Have only ran into one gent on the Meramec, his name has slipped my mind currently. Anyways it would be awesome to meet up with a few of you at some point.

I stopped at Unger Park yesterday evening, and fished the lake for 2 or so hours. I decided to try out the lake first for a little while, even though I wasn't holding my breath as I rarely catch anything there. If nothing came of it, I was going to go over to the river after an hour or so. Water was too murky to give me much hope fishing lures, but I was fine with bait fishing anyhow, so in I tossed some shrimp, and hoped for the best. Maybe half an hour in, something hit the shrimp and briefly took off, then stopped, and took off again. By the second time it took off, I was by the rod, and set the hook, and got to reeling. I knew whatever it was, it was a strong fish. After a couple of minutes of it dogging against the medium heavy action rod, I got it to shore and saw a nice chunky Channel or Blue Cat on the other end of my line.  It wasn't a monster by most standards, being only maybe 2 foot long, but with a very wide fat head and body, it was definitely one of my bigger catfish and fish in general. It was  my best quality fish that I got out of that lake.

That's the great thing about fishing. Sometimes you just don't know what you are going to catch. Congrats on a nice catfish!
