We made the trip from Pa the fish the chick for cats, fished friday saturday and sunday and had (based on other reports) as successful trip for those elusive blues... I do not have pictures uploaded yet but hopefully we can get them on soon. Between 3 of us we landed 11 fish Friday, biggest going about 31 lbs, 7 fish Satuday with the biggest going 22, and 4 fish sunday with the biggest a touch over 26. <br /><br />The fishing was tough, all the fish were caught near the nuke plant, above the boils about 50-100 yards and in the main channel area (away from the hump that holds the discharge pipes). Caught the fish on cut bait, chunks of salmon filet. For what it is worth to some of you... We tipped up one rod with &quot;gulp minnows&quot; and that rod got more bits consistently... I dont know if it was a fluke but it may be worth a try when the bites are so tough.<br /><br />Thats is pretty much it for the cats... I gotta run but I will report on Guntersville within a day or two.<br /><br />Again, A huge thanks to the guys who really helped us out again this year, this board is truly something that can help a guy who needs a start on a new piece of water.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />Brett Shaffer
