Well I don't know about big cats but I sure know about "fun cats"!
Sunday morning arrived at Lincon Beach, headed further along the shoreline until we came to a entry point where I could drive to the waters edge. About 1 mile past the Lincon beach boat ramp. Headed out onto the water in a 12 ft inflatable boat. For the past week we've been lookin gup recipies for making our own catfish bait. Between the two of us we had about 4-5 different things we going to try to throw out. Garlic hot dogs, dough balls, garlic shrimp, anchovies, blood bait, and some other rally stink blood bait. We got a couple bites, but no fish. After 3 hours of frustration I put a worm on my daughters hook, and wham! First fish, ended up as the biggest. In the next hour and a half 6 more fish all on worms. 1 channel, 1 mud, 5 blues.
The strangest event of the day, I hooked a blue in the mouth, the fish apparently wasn't happy with just one worm it also picked up my buddies worm! Both hooked in the lip! I thought it was just lines tangled until we haad it in the net. Went home with 7 fish, about 10-11 pounds in all. Once all cleaned up netted about 2-3 lbs for a nice dinner. Now I just need to post some pictures....another learning experience.
