Early this evening I got a call from Spur, inviting me to take him fishing. I was sooooo excited and of course jumped at the chance. emoBang <br /><br />First thing, my boat wouldn&#39;t come off of the trailer. Someone left the safety chain attached to the front of the boat. Since I never do this when I&#39;m alone, it must be Spurhunter&#39;s fault. Finally got it loose and eventually we are off to the nuke to see if there is any white bass action this evening.<br /><br />NOPE. NONE. NADA. ZIP. ZILCH.<br /><br />Lots and lots of bait fish leisurely crusing in big schools, not a worry in their lives, occasionally doing the little threadfin *FLIP* on the surface. Not a predator fish in sight.<br /><br />We both soaked cut skipjack in an effort to save the day with a nice catfish. ONE of us (the older, good looking, skilled one) caught a nice 10 pound blue cat while the younger ugly one worked up some of his bad luck mojo and caused the fuel line to start sucking air. Then I&#39;m pretty sure he backed the trailer in crooked (he must have - the boat wouldn&#39;t go on straight the first 5 times I tried).<br /><br />Just the one fish to show for it, but the trip was very nice and the evening was beautiful. I actually enjoyed Erik&#39;s company (well, maybe enjoyed isn&#39;t exactly the right word.....). We&#39;ll do better next time!<br /><br />Erik should have some photos to add.
