Picked up Sam and headed for the river for catfish. Sam had stopped and caught some yellowtails for bait and a well known CFFer had met me this morning and gave me some skippies to try too. I had caught a couple of crappie that if we would have needed we could have used as bait also. We met at WT ramp and ran up river. We caught fish on the first two drifts and a fish here and a fish there but all at once the flow stopped both from moving down river and from the nuke and the bite just stopped. Sam caught one more right at sundown but that was the only bite we had after the flow had stopped. It was great to be out there with Sam as it had been over a year since we had been out. The yellowtails were the best bait tonight but I think that most anything would have worked until the current quit. We even went and caught some crappie for a while since the bite was so off, just waiting for the catfish bite to start up again at sundown, it never did start back up. Thanks again for a fun time on the river Sam. We'll do it again soon hopefully. Sam has a couple of pics.
