[cool][#0000ff]Met up with Wildcat94 at the south marina about 6 AM to deliver his tricked out toon. Won't see a toon on top of my Jimmy very often.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Since we were there, with tackle and bait, we decided to go fishing too. Good move. Air temp 60 and water temp 69 at launch...warming to 74 by 2 PM when we departed. Calm and sunny. My kinda day.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Dragged a minnow on one rod while throwing cranks and plastics with the other. Caught my first of MANY cats while still going out of the channel. Tried around the north point with a crankbait and got a couple of jumps out of a feisty smallmouth before he let me have my lure back. About 16 inches. Nothing else on lures there or out further.

[#0000ff]Wildcat94 was motoring around in his toon, trying to find a wiper or walleye. Nada in either department for him today. Up until noon, we had both had and lost one wiper...along with all the cats we caught.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I kicked my tube down off the feed lot and found an area that was INFESTED with catfish. Went through almost two bags (long dozen) minnows without missing many hits. Also caught about a dozen "cookie cutter" size kitties on small white plastics. Total cats molested had to be somewhere around 30. Not wipers but not skunk either. And, they eat good.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]On the way back inside the channel I was using one of my last couple of minnows. POW! ZING! Wiper. Not huge, maybe 16 or 17 inches. But, a wiper every inch. They sure pull good.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We both brought in a basket of kitties and hit the cleaning station. Couldn't believe it. 2 PM and it was dry. Lots of boats out today but nobody cleaning fish. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Didn't see any of the boaters catch anything. But, did have a couple come roaring right over top of me when a bunch of seagulls from the feed lot settled on the water. The yoyos in the boats thought I had a boil working and wanted to give me some help. Also had a troller run right over my lines. He just glared at me like I was crowding him off the lake.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Oh well, we had our fun. [/#0000ff]

NICE. So where is the license for that motor?

[cool][#0000ff]Don't worry your pretty little head. He has it displayed just under the pocket on the right side of his toon. He's legal.[/#0000ff]

Thank you. I was told both sides and heay...a law is a law, just like no speeding and no poaching....it happens[]

[cool][#0000ff]I can't verify, but Bryce fishes Willard a lot, and says he has been checked by the rangers several times and it is all okay.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It is always good to look out for each other. There are some folks who either don't know the law or who try to get around it. As we know, ignorance is no excuse and will cost you if you get busted.[/#0000ff]

Absolutely! Thanks
