Well, my friend from work and his kids wound up in my boat at willard with me and my little one.
Launched at 4 pm out of the s. marina. Headed to the feed lot corner for some kitties as they had never caught them before. Anchored right on thre corner and caught 30 beteween all of us. Let alot go and kept some for the skillet. A bobber and worm right next to the rocks as the trick. A boil started right next to us but could do nothing as we were anchored and had all lines out for cats. We changed 2 rods to rattle traps and pulled anchor and the kids poles. The boils got heavy and it was an all out war with the other boats. The worst i have ever witnessed![mad]
Anyway, for never catching a wiper or cat, we ended up with 4 wipers and 10 cats for the newbies to devour. We returned 7 wipers and about 20 cats. We only fished the boils for an hour and had to leave to get ready for work today. I threw a rattlin rapala for cats before the boils started and hooked a fish that i thought would be over 20#'s. I fought it for 5 minutes and let my friend have it for 5 minutes to "get a feel". I got it to the boat and it was atleast a 20# carp. One hell of a fight hooked in th dorsal fin!![pirate]
One wiper i caught had a large rattle trap sideways in it's mouth!They had the shad right on the rocks again and were extremely agressive. There were some huge boils right in the channel of the marina and all the way up to the ladders. I love showing someone how much fun they have been missing. Their eyes light up with every fish.[cool]
Here is some pics.
