<br /> Alison had a teachers work day off today so we headed to the river to try to put her on some catfish. Last time we tried this we got skunked So I was hopeing today would be a good one, <br /> After getting a late start and having to stop by and get a new liscense, we got at the ramp about 11, said a quick hello to Mr EricM, and headed out eager to get started after doing about 10 laps around the area trying to mark some fish we settled in to a area, droped the hook and started to wait, and wait, and wait, no fish after what was probably a couple of hrs, so we moved and bottom bounced for a while with still no fish, now im getting woried, droped the hook for a second time set out the lines to give this a try again, and finaly managed a couple of stray fish, skunks off the boat , to add insult to injury got to watch the Big Dog land a great fish and even got a close up of it which really thrilled Peanut, "Man that fish was BIG""emoWorthy emoWorthy <br /> We hung on that spot for about a hr and managed about 5 fish all about 8-12, then moved again, things started to pick up about 6:00 and from there to about 7:30 thats when things got hot,, We had several doubles on and managed about 25 of so before we headed back to town,<br /> <br /> A couple of notes we did hook into two nice fish that where pulling grag off that came unbuttoned after I thought they where hooked good, emoBang I think they where just holding onto the bait, I added a stinger rig but never got a good bite on that line again,,<br /> <br />Second, the big fish for the day was 16 lbs, which is Alisons personal best, emoDance <br /> <br />Great day on the water,, emoAngel <br />Better company,,<br />Puddle <br /> ...............................emoAngler <br /> emoFish emoFish
