Monday Morning Catfish...

A quick fishing trip this morning, Cathy had to take a nap to be ready for the night shift tonight so we fished from about 8:30-11:00. Started at the spot I caught them last week, no go, wasted 30 minutes, wind blowing down the bank instead of in to it as the other day. Moved out the the north east and anchored off a little sand hump 4' deep with 7' deep grassy flats surrounding. They were there. Total was 30 cats in the time it takes to listen (The Dead Weather and North Mississippi Allstars in case you need to know, this makes more of a difference than you think) to two cds. I take big fish with a 6lb 4oz blue cat.

Cathy gets the hook out. Boated some good honest 2lb channel cats, all on Big Marv's punch bait. This is only the third trip with this new bait, two have had very good results. I like it, but it may get a little thin with hotter weather.

The key once again was the wind, got to fish it correctly.







A fish fry shot from this past weekend. We cleaned the freezer out, cooking 30lbs of fillets. All were eaten, I had the last several fillets for lunch after I cleaned today's catch. We are stocking the freezer now for Morgan's graduation fry in August.

With the baby shower, the music playing and the fishing that went on around here the past few days I don't think we could have had a better weekend.
