Randy and Reed Johnson have fished with me a lot. Seems like we always get into something.<br /><br />Saturday we knew the adds were against us. NO FLOW until 1 pm. We started at 10 am anyway. As you&#39;d expect, bite was totally non-existent. We headed up to the Dam a little before 1 pm to try and catch some eaters.<br /><br />First fish... Reed reels in one that hovered at 25 lbs., on light tackle so it took &quot;some minutes.&quot; They turned the water on and we started drifting.<br /><br />Once the flow got settled out fish were on fire! We smoked &#39;em... I always catch lots of eater channel cats in October, but we were finding great numbers of quality blues (5 - 10 lbs.) as well. Reed caught another 20-pound-plus fish... and we broke off a couple I&#39;m sure were big fish.<br /><br />It was a wonderful afternoon that felt more like a May catfish bite than it did October. Caught most on chicken... some on cut bait. Headed now in search od a wily whitetail. Life is good and gettin&#39; better every day.<br />
