EricM, Sloooooow day on the Chick, blue catfish, 9-1-09 - FishNews - 09-03-2009
No HOF fish for this fella today! September is always a slow month for me with the big blues, and this one started right on cue. The blues that I found were NOT oriented to bottom structure, but were suspended at 32-40 feet in 55 feet of water. There were a few 10 pounders in the mix, but most fish were about 6 to 8 pounds today. Everyone fishing the bottom there seemed to be catching fish under a pound, and the only hits I had on the bottom were tiny pecks. Anyway,the cooler weather is making it pretty nice out there.<br /><br />It was great to get out after the knee surgery and vacation on the Outer Banks, but now I&#39;m scheduled for the next surgery on September 17 - and yes, the rumor is true, it IS to repair my hernia! Seems there are certain hazards associated with catching and lifting really big catfish emoEek emoEek . (Ow! OW!!!) Guess I&#39;ll have to take a designated lifter with me for a while afterwards. emoBig
