Fishing Forum

Ricky Cowan's wife bought him a fishing trip for his birthday. They just moved to Tennessee from Texas. Ricky brought along his brother-in-law Carson, from Chattanooga.<br /><br />Mother Nature threw us a very cold curveball Friday AM, so we declared a "delayed start" at 8:30. Just like the week before, it was kind of a slow start, but the Sequoyah cats finally fired up. We fished about seven hours, and hit two apparent really good feeding periods. Things would be slow, and then "Boom!," the cats would come alive. <br /><br />The biggest fish we caught was a 25-pounder, but we estimated that we easily caught 200 lbs. of cats. Ricky and Carson took 50 or 60 lbs. home to filet.<br /><br />I love springtime catfishing, but if the bite stays like it's been the last two weekends, I might have to rethink that? emoBig <br /><br />It was a pleasure talking with Drumking and FishingMachine. It was especially fun watching my guys catch two healthy cats while we were chatting. Life is good and gettin' better every day.<br />
