Muds and channels below the pumps were all small. Caught alot of small channels there too. On the lake side the muds are still there, but they are quite a bit bigger. Not fast fishing at all.
Saw quite a wide variety of techniques there also.
Bottles tied to fishing line and thrown out into the water.
Line tied to the tab of a beer can and the can placed upside down on a stick then just throw your bait out by hand.
Tie a spark plug to the end of your line, suspend two hooks a ways up the line then cast it out. Didn't see if was a high preformance plug or not. He didn't catch many with that setup, but he could cast it half way across the lake.
Learned a few more things too.
A wife can throw her rig out farther by hand than her drunk husband can using a pole.
A 24 inch channel cat can drag a pole, lunch box and a lantern into the water.
Old retired fishermen can run real fast when all their gear is getting drug into the water.
An 8 year old kid can do quite a dance when they catch a 23 inch walleye on a jig.
New fishermen should learn which fish have spikes and where.
And the list will continue next weekend I'm sure!
It was a fun weekend. Good luck to you!
