Got out on the river with my Dad again for an evening of cattin’. We didn’t have all the time in the world so I set us up on the same spot I was Sunday. Only difference is we were in the boat. Set up in 17 fow right on a current seem with a good snag just down stream. 1 rod with a bullie and 1 with cut sucker. Dad had 1 good run in the first 20 mins and that was it for the next 45 mins.
We pulled anchor and slipped down stream just behind the snag. Put 2 bullies out this time and I connected with a chunky 24″ flattie. Weird thing about this fish is I picked up the rod to reposition my bait and there was slack line, which I had not noticed I usually pick up these things. I am always sooo concentrated on what my line is doing. Anyway she must of had me in some wood because she felt good. I looked at Dad and said it’s a good one. 2 seconds later she freed(sp) herself and came right to the boat.
Went to 2 of my regular spots and there were boats on both of them Ended the night at 9:30 with 2 runs and 1 24″ Flathead. Thanks to my Dad for another great eveningon the water.
Oh yea sorry about the truck Dad! It’s got character now
