Catfish in the Shallows...

Went to the lake today and the action was a bit slow considering I fished from about 10-2pm to put 12 catfish in the boat. Average size was good and some of the females had eggs so I would say they are making a spawning move. Water was 61 degrees and with a slight increase fishing is going to be good. 

I don't know where my friends the ospreys are but this crow was making himself right at home in the nest. I ran him off once but he came right back.  

Caught a few fish around the bushes in our usual places but they really seemed to be hanging on the lip of a little creek edge. All caught 5'-6' deep. 

Turtle soup? Not swimming in my belly. 

As a side note with the recent rain both Hanks Creek boat ramps are closed. I launched at Monterey Park.
