Had to make a decision as to where I wanted to go this morning, and of course got it wrong (the EricM 50-50-80 rule; when I have a 50-50 chance of getting it right, 80% of the time I get it wrong). I went to the nuke to get some threadfin shad to do a variety of fishing, and never found the first one. A friend did find some just at dawn, but none after full daylight. I knew the flow was to increase, so I fished for catfish while I waited, and throughout the increase. THE FISHING WAS AWFUL!!!!! There were a bunch of boats and a few very small cats were caught on livers. I was thrilled to find a total of two cats big enough to hit a small chunk of cut bait - a 6 lb and an 8. By noon it was already too hot and too humid and no wind, so I hauled my sorry butt home - sorry that I didn&#39;t haul it below one of the dams!!!! I guess??? that maybe it&#39;s getting to be that time when the kitties start thinking about making babies???<br /><br />No pics either!!! emoBawl
