More Fishing Reports...

With the water temps hovering in the low 60s fish are moving into the shallows. Not racking up big numbers but there are solid fish to be has a evidenced by this 7.5 pound blue cat I caught. The channel cats were solid fish and a few of them had eggs so the spawn is beginning. That blue cat was a male so there are some big mommas around somewhere. 

This little spot is one of my favorites. Cathy calls it the horseshoe because the brush line makes a gentle curve creating a little pocket where the fish seem to gather. That little spot right head of her has given up a 10 pounder. I usually nose the boat up into that spot and behind the boat I mark the creek channel with a couple of floating buoys and I sit back there and cast to that spot while Cathy works the shoe. The big one this trip came from the creek edge.   

Total for the day was 15 fish. The big one is swimming in our bellies.
