today

[ELM 71]

Totally agree with your report. Perfect day for fishun', but not so perfect for ketchin'. My total for the day was 2 cats and 6-8 wb. The fish were there but they were not in a feeding mood. I thought we would knock 'em dead today with the good weather and the hope that they would be fattening up for the cold months to come. Best explanation (excuse) I can come up with is that the fish were all spooked by all of the shooting by the duck hunters... yup, that's it.

We will have to try again after the coming cold spell to see if we can find 'em.

Always fun to fish with you two.

We will do it again soon weather permitting. There was a lot of gauges going off for sure. Sounded like out by the island I think

At least you and BLK got a few cats.  All I got were a few white bass.  First blank on catfish in like forever.  I think it was kinda rude of you guys inviting me on your little floatilla and not telling me where they stocked it this week.

I really felt snakebit.  I started in less than 5' of water...throwing plastics for walleyes.  But all I got were whitie whacks and a piece of the rock a time or two.  Moved steadily out into deeper water looking for fish that might be going deeper in the cooling water.  Saw a lot more on "TV" than on my line.  Did get a few pop and drops...from inexperienced fish that didn't know how to hang on.  And did actually hook a couple that arranged their own early releases for bad behavior.

10-4 good buddy.  (October 4)

  

at least there was no skunk. got to admit I was really surprised you didnt pick up at least one cat.
