I found myself at home with my three year old boy on Thursday. I know he gets bored being inside and so do I so I decided to take him to Utah Lake to go fish for some cats. I wasn’t super optimistic because we were going late morning and I had also gone at least once a week from mid March all the way through April and could only catch Mud cats.
Had a small bag of shrimp with me to use as bait and got fishing right away. Lost a flig on pretty much the first cast. Rerigged that pole and had a bite while getting a second set up. Set the hook and another flig gone. Bad knot. Got the second pole out and after a few minutes, we had a fish on. It was channel cat. That set the pace for the rest of the time until we ran out of bait. Six channels and three lost fligs. The boy had a great time “reeling them in” and netting them! I think he was more exited about the netting part.
