Lincoln cat report

[Boatloadakids]

Good fishin' for cats at Lincoln today. Water temp was 51 when I arrived at about 6 a.m. and warmed to 53 at 11:00.
Started at Bird Island and did well on carp meat but could not break out of the 22-24 inch crowd. Moved back by the BS inlet and pick up a few more... best one was 26 incher. Nice calm seas and warm weather. A few bank tanglers along the launch channel and two other boats.

Need to get the water temps back up near 60... might do it with a good week.

its tough to me up with you when you go in the morning and I go at night, the water is still cool but those cats must be hungry, there was a bunch in front of the orchards last night, was there any eyes rolling out to the island.

Hey BLK it is good to hear you got out again and had a good trip. That is a nice looking cat and I like the looks of your board too! My yardsticks say home depot on them and yours say true value, do you think by the end of the contest we should get paid for the advertising?[]

Keep up the good work and thanks for the report!

Pisco-- It was a good day today and should get better, at least for kitties, as the weather/water warms.

My board had to be remodeled from its original configuration.... construction issues, not wide enough. I took one side off and it still works (and advertises) okay. I've got a new metal one now that I want to try. It goes out to 39 inches so I won't have to worry about the 36 inch one coming up too short.[]

Let the fun begin.

I know everyone thinks my board is an over kill for width, but those big cats have wide splines and to fit you need a 10" wide board sometimes... They don't tend to bend those sticky suckers in to their sides very well.. I look forward to seeing that new bump board special... Hey maybe you can laminate your label on the side of it... Past contests allowed a BFT sticker with your name and year on the sticker... I'd let that float again... if you want... Later J.... Thinking of trying the same thing because I keep having issues getting my label in my correct tackle bag that I take with me... Must be old age catching up to me... Forgot my net and headlight last night... Shut me down early and made it tough to land a fish without the net... J

MSM-- I did not see anything rolling at the island except a few carp. I didn't even know the wallys rolled on the surface. I've got Tube Dude lined up to share some of his wally knowledge with me in a couple of weeks.... who knows, I may ketch one myself.
Maybe I need to use curly tails while fishin' for cats and I might snag a wally???

I plan to try the orchard area in the morning. Will report.
