salecreekaviator, Mid Chick, Blue Cat, 5/25, Caleb & Cloyd - FishNews - 05-27-2009
I am posting this for a neighbor who is not a member, but I guess it is okay. If not, double my membership dues next month!emoLaugh <br /><br />My neighbor, Cloyd in Sale Creel loves to fish and he has a teenage grandson named Caleb that has the gift for hunting and fishing. He apparently is going to be a DK, EricM of the next generation. I was working in the yard mid afternoon yesterday getting ready for company when I noticed Cloyd and Caleb head out in the boat. About dark, Emma and I were starting to fish from the dock after the company left when Cloyd and Caleb came back in. Cloyd yelled, &quot;man you gotta see this one!&quot;. It seems Caleb has found a spot near by that has produced quality large mouth, small mouth and catfish for the last 3 weeks. I went over and snapped this picture with my phone but it was tough to get a good shot. They caught a number of channel and blue cats estimated to be in the 8-18 lb range. This prize blue pictured here that Caleb is holding weighed 43 lbs on my gripper scales. They were fishing in 6 feet of water near the bank, using live bream under a float on 12 lb line. Apparently, pulled their boat around a bit and put up quite a good long fight to get him in. It was released between our docks, I sure hope it hangs around!!! emoUp
<br /><br />Now for the fishing report from Emma and me. We used worms and crickets and emoRedface, awh, never mind. Did I tell you we have this neighor that loves to fish....
