Water temp was 80 – 81 and the flow felt right at 21000 cfps.
10 pounder came about the time I was thinking of changing locations from 5 feet of water.
We were using fat bullheads for 7 inchers.
26 pounder came next. It’s always fun to see your guest go down to their knees and the rod go half way in the water. LOL!
We made a move after that one. Using 3 bullheads and a foot long sucker for bait. The sucker gets thumped good and with the flow still in the 20’s there was a struggle to get her to the boat and netted. It was a good night that cat fisherman wait all year for with temps in the high 60’s. Didn’t need a jacket, but it was more comfortable with one.
Friday evening the water temp dropped to 76 degrees.
It was a tough night for our boat, but others reportedly did well.
Saturday evening was same as the night before. One fish in the 10 pound range.
One group of fellas were targeting flats during the daylight hours in a number of deeper holes along Pool 4. They said they were doing well, but I didn’t get a chance to see their live wells.
A group staying at Everts were chasing channel cats most of last week. They said they weren’t having much luck but the pails of fish guts in the cleaning shack said otherwise.
If you haven’t been out yet or thinking of going, now is the best time we’ve had all year.
Hope to see you at Everts Resort, Four Seasons or on the water!
