My dad called me up yesterday and told me he had taken my little bro and sis out to Lincoln beach in the morning for a couple hours.
They caught a total of 22 catfish. Half were bullheads and half were channels. Some of the bullheads were pushing 14 and 15 inches. The channels were all about 12 - 16 inches. Not that big, but fun anyways. They also had 2 huge mothers on but never could pull them up off the bottom -- never saw them. They were only using 8 lb. test mono, and eventually the line snapped. My little 14 yr. old sister also caught an 8 lb. carp -- her biggest fish ever, took her quite awhile to get it in. They were fishing from a canoe approximately 100 yards offshore, a ways down from the boat lauch. Not exactly clear on the location, he was kinda vague. Anyway they had a good time. They were using shrimp and worms on the bottom with no weight. Neither bait seemed to do better than the other.
