I headed out tonight under a nice rainbow. Two good fish last night and I felt I needed another evening of big cat safari. I took out a couple of dead suckers which the bait shop gave me for free. I set up in Bishops bay which is on a fancy golf course. There was a wedding party going on and plenty of good music all night. I put out a sucker head smeared with smelly jelly XXX shad and had my first fish before I could get my second rod in the water a fat 31×18. Before I could sit down two bobbers went down another on the cutbait and one on sonny’s I set hook and dropped one pole in the rod holder and battled the one in another 31×18. The rod in the holder had a good fish taking drag the whole time took out a good 40 yards of line and a 28 and change finally made it in. It was a harbinder of what was to come. Steady action all night with fish hitting everything I could put out. I setup shallower than last night in 6 feet of water over submergent vegetation and it was a good spot. 27 fish to the net tonight all over 10lbs. They were coming so fast I could hardly get a picture taken. I actually missed two bites while taking self portraits and had two nice fish get off boatside. No giants tonight but you can’t beat nearly 300lbs of hungry channel cats in one trip. If you don’t have a jar of smelly jelly xxx shad you are missing out. For the first time ever cutbait out produced Sonny’s blood.
