Catfish in Shallow Water...

 After careful study of the weather forecast and much planning we made it out to the lake Monday afternoon. It paid off with 17 shallow water cats. We tried a couple of deep water spots since that was the last know location but they have moved up and hopefully will stay shallow till May. 

Nice size to the fish. All in about 6' of water. WE caught them under slip corks. Here's on more photo of Cathy with a catfish. 

How about me with a fish? I did catch a few. 

Cathy caught several of the nicer ones with a regular old Carolina type rig on the bottom. 

Pretty good mess of fish. We left them biting and will go back for more another day. We fried up a few of these right fresh and I used my new vacuum food saver to package up several two person meals that should be a quick thaw out for easy meals. 

I know people have been wondering, "did I miss a big fish fry? There has not been one in awhile." No you have not missed one. With the colder and wetter than normal winter and various family affairs we did not do a Mardi Gras Fish Fry. We will let you know. 

Now you have the fishing low down. Here's my relationship advice for the day. Marry a girl that cleans fish.
