We picked up two cats trolling, then the last hour and a half we did some fligging and picked up 5 or 6 more cats, nothing above 20" or so. Nice cool chop on the water the first thing in the morning and that kept the bugs down. Saw Kent D out there the first thing after we launched, then later, when we moved, we saw him on his secret crappie spot.Good to see you guys too. Looks like a whole lotta fliggin' until the W & W fishies settle back into a feeding groove. That's kinda how it was last year at this time too.
Those chatterbaits I showed you really wiggle the end of the rod. I got several hard whacks on them, but no hookups. I think they were probably just aggravated cats that didn't know enough about them to bite them right.
Well that's too bad, would have thought they would do better, maybe later this year. How often do you have cats break you off, where you suspect they cut your line with their Pectoral fin, like what happened to Forest on his last trip out there? Got a real good one on before we called it a day, it was pulling out line like a wiper but right when we got it right below the boat, it broke off. My thoughts were that it was a cat and it cut the line with it's fin but we never saw it, so who knows.
