well last night went a little better for the cats. I hit lindon boat harbor around 10:30pm to 4:00 am. the fish didn't start hitting until around 2:00 in the morning but then it was pretty fast for a while. I need to get sharper hooks, because I lost a lot of really good channels to dull hooks. I did land a nice 18" channel though and 4 mud cats. I just used night crawlers. Hey I was wondering if anyone knows if cats will still take the worms if you thread them on the hook like for trout or do you usually have to just gob two or three on there so they cover the hook? last night was a little funny in that the channels started biting the most when the wind started coming in from the east. and then it died down when the wind stopped. Oh well i guess you can never figure those fish out.[]
