Julie and I went out of Lincoln on 6/19/2020 and had a good solid trip. We got on the water about 6:30 and off about noon, ending up with just over 15 cats, 2 white bass and a carp. I actually caught a carp on purpose! Water was 66 degrees at launch and about 72 when we stopped fishing. We dragged FLAITs at 0.5 to 0.8 MPH in 3.5 to 4.5 FOW until 11 and then moved to a deeper spot and fished 5 to 9 FOW for the last hour. We only got one in deeper water but it was the biggest of the day.
All but 3 of the fish were caught on cut WB. The carp came on a worm and the 2 largest catfish (25.5 and 27”) liked the fresh carp meat.
Before the trip, I wanted to spend some more time in shallow water but I wasn’t expecting many fish. We were pleasantly surprised by the numbers and the size was decent.
I taped almost all of the trip and tried to implement the suggestions I got last time. I got most of it in and found that some suggestions were easier to implement than others. I also found that there isn’t much you can do to get rid of airplane noise, wind noise, or glare from the sun.

Again, comments are welcome.
This trip I made a short clip of something noteworthy from the trip. I called it the “Clip of the Trip,” and I’ll try to get one from each outing. It is mostly to help me remember to try to learn something each trip, but hopefully they will be worth seeing.
This week’s clip shows us landing a fish and during the process we make a bunch of banging and clanging noises in the boat. Not on purpose of course! I remember when the net handle clanked loudly against the front of the splash well I thought to myself: “Pay attention! We are in less than 4 feet of water. With all that noise we’ll be lucky to get another bite for ten minutes at least!” For perspective, the 2 rods sticking out to the sides of the boat I call “deep rods.” They have larger sinkers and hang almost straight down. That means in 4 FOW the baits are right beside the back of the boat.
Well, about 10 seconds after all the banging, Julie gets a hit on a deep rod. It turned out to be 25.5 inches, just under 7 pounds, and completely oblivious to all the noise we made!
