Good reports... or should I call them "bad' reports? I just can't find 'em. I've fished all of Lincoln, Mud Lake on the east, and the Knolls on the west. Slow fishin' everywhere I go. Seems like in years past this time of the year was when you could not keep two poles in the water and more often than not you would run out of bait. More water and more places to make love nests?? I've seen a couple of dark colored cats, the best one being the one Catrat caught last week.
There are some good cats in the Mud Lake area but they seem to be holding up in the stubby reeds and you need a machete or pruning shears to get them out. The Lincoln area has been slow for me but I note that Pisco and company seem to consistently find them.
I tried the Knolls last Sat. with my g-kids. Ourplanned attack was to be in kayaks. The forecasted 3 mph wind from the north turned out to be a 10 mph wind from the south. No cats were harmed. Skunked, you might say. Then too, it was a double skunk cuz I clipped a skunk on the road coming back home. Used some applied geometry as the skunk broke out of the grass about 50 yards in front of me going at a right angle to me at about 1 mph. My speed was 60 mph but I had to allow for a bicycle rider on my right. I had too use some creative driving to avoid a convergence. I managed to roll him over and wipe his nose with my right rear tire but avoided a big stink direct hit.
Ennyhow, back at it tomorrow. Maybe Bird Island? They gotta start showing up sometime.
