Today I had some time to kill while doing some business in Darlington, WI so I took the cat equipment along and fished a while. I tried a spot where the guy at the hardware store recommended and had a hit on Junnies Stink Bait right away, however when I set the hook, line broke.
About a half hour later I moved down stream about 150 yards and threw out the stink bait and a crawler. Caught a carp on the crawler and then a sucker. Then a hit on the stink bait and landed a 12 inch channel cat. He had swallowed the worm good, so I baited up another cat fish worm and tossed it out. Before I could get the hook completely removed from the 1st cat, I had another hit. Set the hook and got a bigger channel, about 16 inches. And you guessed it, he had the broken off worm in his mouth, same yellow plastic that I started with.
I didn’t catch anymore before I had to quit. When I got home and cleaned them the larger one’s gut was full of crayfish, I mean like 6 or 7 of them. Maybe I should have been using that for bait.
