Hit the water today with my good friend Charlie Duggan. It was colder than gee-willickers at sunrise... serious north wind cut right through us. But I wanted to be there because last few times out there has been a good early morning catfish bite.<br /><br />Not today.emoBang <br /><br />It was tough early. At Noon we'd caught a grand total of 3 cats. But somebody finally rang the dinner bell about that time. Much better bite from Noon to 3. And the ones that hit weren't mush-mouthing. They were hammering it pretty good. The bite may have continued, but we'd had all the fun we could stand. Ended a cold windy day with 16 cats.<br /><br />We pretended we were Trevor Gowdy today in search of "The One." Our biggest today however was about 15 lbs.... had several in the 10-15 range... but both of us felt certain that we each missed "The One."<br /><br />Which means life is good and gettin' better every day!<br /><br />I really enjoyed fishing with Nanook of the North! emoLaugh
