Well…..
Made it down to the river for one last shot at the cats for the season. (It pains me to say it like that, but unless the weather turns for the warmer its almost time to shift gears).
I called Dtro on short notice to see if he was up for a trip, He was a little under the weather but not enough to stay benched at home while lucky Larry FlatCaster was going to hit the mighty Muddy MN river.
It was a chilly night On Monday. We tried some shad, some fathead minnows and some suckers.
Had some nibbles and bumps but they just weren’t in the mood.
finally Dtro hit some channel pay-dirt. On…….. once again……… cut bait. It was a chunky guy that went a little over 7lbs. Only fish of the night, which made us feel good. We thought we were heading towards the big Skunk and that fish was the Skunk-breaker.
Not sure what the fish were looking for. We could hear them thrashing up near shore, making quite the racket. Not as much bait fish jumping as in weeks past. The water temps were 60-59F.
Last side note. There was a lot of debris in the water. If your running the MN make sure to keep a sharp eye out. There has not been any real fluctuations in the level but the stuff is coming from somewhere. We missed a big log and a big root wad by about 5-10 yards on our way back to the ramp. Didn’t see it to the last minuted as we were passing it by.
Dtro thanks for the good company once again.
Get ready for the Walleyes (I hope) 
Larry, cats do bite in the daytime too so don’t give up yet.
