Hooked up with Beggin4Bass in the AM and drove down to UL - put in about first light and and headed out toward the middle of nowhere. Got to about 8-9 feet of water and tossed in some fresh WB to scare up some action. Didn't take but a few minutes to get the first on board then it was fish on for both of up pretty much constantly all morning regardless of the depth which we changed up several times going from about 9 feet to 5 feet and back again. We lost track of how many fish we caught early on but I figure we got into a lot of them. Catching was steady all morning and we left after about 4 hours to get off the water and home around noon.
Caught quite a few large cats in the 8-10 pound range - on real big one broke me off right at the boat - considering the way the fish bent my big Blue cat / Flat head rod - I sure it could have been upwards of 20 pounds - but it got away so it will have to remain a fond fish story that could have been.
We did have to keep 4 of the first few that we caught as they managed to swallow the hardware a little too deeply for even a catfish to recover from - so we reckoned.
They came home for dinner.
