I finally got out Saturday night for some bank fishing. The cast net wasnt much help,and mostly all our bait had to be obtained on R&R. But thats cool,more fun for me!
We wrangled up a few white bass,crappies and bluegills to go with the few shad we could find,and set up a spot in the main stem with some deeper water access we havent fished from the bank in quite a while.First a small channel,then a 15# gar that took a swing at me and put a good hit in on my left hand! I was really suprised how fast and how hard it hit me!
I didnt quite bleed out,so I kept fishing and soon after had a good run and a hook-up on a white bass fillet. It looked like a channel but the fin said it was a bluecat but he hadnt been feeding well as his head was alot bigger in proportion to the rest of his body. We guessed him at 13# and put him back to go hit the shad buffet.An hour later and a good fight and another bluecat came ashore and pulled the scales to 24.6# Ive got all the pics on my phone,and as soon as I figure how to get them on,I'll post them.
