Shore fishing this weekend in Minnesota

[nuthinlikeacat]

I was thinking of going out either Friday or Saturday and fising the MN river near Shakopee or Burnsville or possibly even near St Peter to try for some flatties or maybe a few walleyes. I plan fishing from shore. IF I decide to go to St Peter, I will drive, and anyone is free to tag along. Anyone else interested? If you are interested, let me know by Thursday night, so I can try and get some bait.

[rushing]

I'll prolly be out this weekend but not sure where or when yet. Depends on the weather.

[Larry]

Just heard a great weather report.
Possible One last small round of showers tomorrow then starts getting better with possible highs of 85F by next weds.
I'll be out this weekend, And will be out early tomorrow.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

what type of shifts do you guys work? Just wondering so maybe we can plan some early morning fishing trips.

[rushing]

I work nights. 10-7 & 9-9

[nuthinlikeacat]

Rob,
Where you at in MN? Do you work a Sunday through Thur work week?
I work a Sun -Thur work week, so most of my fishing is done Fri and Sat. When my fiance is off during the week, I may make a few late night trips during the week.

[rushing]

I am in Eagle Lake MN but work in St. Peter. I have every other weekend off which is Fri, Sat, Sun Nights. This upcoming weekend I have off.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Thats pretty cool. I grew up in Le Center, and I have fished the St Peter Area pretty heavily the past 20 yrs or so. I live in Eden Prairie now. I know a ton of good catfish spots right in St Peter. I might head down near the boat landing this weekend in St Peter to try for some flatties. I usually dont get out there until a little before dark, and usually stay until 3 or 4 am. Pretty much got it figured out that right in that area, there is usually a 10:00 pm, 12:00 Am, 2:00 Am and 4Am bite there.

I also do alot of fishing near the Kasota landing. I catch a lot of fish there, but usually not a whole lot over the 20+ lb range. The Walleyes should be in that creek now....if a person can get back there. I was down in Kasota this past weekend, and the road back to the boat landing was still under about a foot and a half of water.

If you decide to go out there this weekend, let me know, and I'll see if I can make it down there!

[rushing]

The past couple of years I have been fishing the St. Peter area quite a bit. The river is still pretty high even though it has come down, the kasota area is still under a bit of water I am guessing. Good news though the big flats are out and about. A buddy of mine got a 42lb flat last night. The bite lately has been between 9p and about 11p from the reports I have been hearing from friends. I still am not sure what my plans are for this weekend, might be going out in a boat on Fri and I might be going to a catfishing/bachelor party Sat. night. I will let you know though.

The river is dropping so slow right now I wish it would come down another couple of feet. Its suppose to get alot warmer next week but with that comes the chance of more rain.:crazy:

[nuthinlikeacat]

I'm heading out to Kasota and St Peter fishing on Saturday. Figure I'll fish Walleyes until it get close to dark, then get out the Big Rig and go for some kittys!

[The J-Man!]

Good luck this weekend guys, let us know how you do.

[rushing]

Very nice night out after the last couple of crappy weeks we have had. I was so happy to finally be out o the river again and not be freezing my butt off. I got a 28lb and a 3lb. I wish I coulda stayed out longer but my buddy had to go, plus he didnt even have a single run. :big_smile:

[nuthinlikeacat]

Just got back from the river over by St Peter. Between two of us we landed 5 fish. One small channel and four flatties. One flattie measured just under 41" and the other 3 were in the 25-30" range. The biggest had to probably push a bit over 30 lbs, but the other flatties were in the 10-15 lb range.Solid fish, but nothing to brag about.
Although the river has come down some, it is still plenty high with a pretty swift current on the mainstream. we had Our best luck in spots along shore with eddys present, or flats where we knew there were submerged sandbars.

Rushing,
There have been some BIG walleyes taken out of the backwater in St Peter in the past week. I know for a fact of 4 taken out of there over 8lbs, and numerous in the 3-5 lb range. If you get a chance to go into Hermies bait shop, check out the wall. A guy I used to work with has a 9lb 3 oz Walleye on the board from the past week.

[rushing]

I fished up river from St. Peter last night and it was slooow, from reports from other friends that were out last night it was slow for them too. We only managed one small 4lb flat. Some friends in a boat got a 33lb and a 8lb, thier fish came early then nothing. We only stayed out until about 1am, with the lack of action and the chill in the air we called it a night. Glad to hear you had some luck! I did see a picture of a flat that came out of the pond in St. Peter on a flyrod yesterday!

Not quite sure the back water you are talking about, but those are some nice eyes!

[Larry]

Hey Guys,
had 3 good runs, No fish boated when we went out on the boat Sat eve. Water is coming down. It could be prime next weekend if there are no big rains and we get the warm weather forcasted.
Ryan, Sweet Job on getting some flatties. The 42" has the potential to be a big fish if you compare to others approximate same size, but they can be lean this time of year if they are just starting to bite.
Rushing, I hear you about the chill after 10:30 that set in.
I saw the pic of the Flat that came out of the pond on a flyrod, and the carp to I guess. The luck:crazy:
I tip my hat to the guy for going the distance. How long did it take him to get it in?
thanks
Larry

[rushing]

I dunno how long it took but it has to be some sort of record. A flat on a flyrod?!? I wanna go down there sometime soon and try flyfishing for some carp.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Rushing,
Where up river where you fishing? Below the State Hospital where the rock piles are, or the other way towards Le Sueur?

The backwater I am referring to is in St Peter right behind the Cop shop. We went there Sat night and the water in ther has came down quite a bit, but they were still getting Nice Walleyes using bobbers and minnows/leeches. Some were getting a few casting also.

Larry,
When we going to get out sometime?What days of the week do you usually go out? I dont know where you go out, but I drove down by Blackdog, and it only took me 15 minutes. I thought it was a further drive for me than that.
I may possibly fish the River in Chaska early this week, depending on how late I have to work. I have some bait to use up yet!

[nuthinlikeacat]

Here is a pic of one of the flatties we caught. I think it was the third firsh of the night, and I think it went right around 15 lbs. Not a bad fish, but I hope to find a few bigger ones in the coming weeks.

9478

[rushing]

Yeah down below the state hospital. hmmm the only thing I can think of behind the cop shop is that bend in the river right before you get to the boat landing.

[The J-Man!]

Thanks for all the updates guys. Rob and Ryan, it sounds like you had a decent weekend.

[rushing]

It was just good to get back out on the river, although sat. night was a bit of a dissapointment and Sunday the weather just sucked. I have most of the week off so I hope the weather isnt too bad even though it looks like its gonna be crappy though.

[Larry]

Hey Guys,
Ryan I usually head out on a weekend night. Did an 3:00 early trip last week.
Try to get on the water as early as possible. Usually ends up between 5-7pm and fish till 12-1.
Black dog is really close.
Ive seen a flattie pulled in right under the 35W bridge.
It was less than 10lb though.
You know you have the fishing bug when you look at the conditions and know its going to be tough to catch em. And you say *&#$ it and head out. And you repeat process for a few days running.
(this was me last week).
Gonna wait till this weekend. It will be here soon enough.
Conditions should be on or getting ready to start.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

YEah...I wish I could head out this weekend, but the fiance has to work Thur-Sun, so I guess my weekend is shot. On the flip side, she is off tonight through Wed, so after work I may head out for a couple hours.

Rob,
To Get to the backwater....
when you turn off the street and head back by the cop shop, drive by the landing, follow the paved road along the kids fishing pond. As you get almost all the way back to where you started from, you will see a couple of barricades. just stop there, and walk back. Follow the trail to the left and it will bring you there.
Also, ...isnt the water running prettty fast down below the Hospital there?

[rushing]

Must kinda just be a back water during high water. I wil have to drive past there tomorrow moring after work and check it out. Yeah the the water is moving super fast and its very deep below the hospital.

[nuthinlikeacat]

YEah, we tend to hit that area below the hospital once or twice a year. There are some big fish there, but they are too far and few between for me. It didnt bother me as much when I had all the time in the world to fish, but with my limited time now, I like to go to more productive spots.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Went out last night for almost 2 hrs down below the bridge in Shakopee (101 bridge). Not even a run. I got out around 11:30 and stayed till almost 2:00 AM. Water is still moving fast, but its dropping daily.

[rushing]

I was out last night as well, from about 7pm till midnight and not one fish. Had a couple lil zips of the clicker but that was it. It was very windy and the lightening started to kick up a bit and felt a few rain drops, so we decieded to call it a night. The river is droppin very fast. I wonder if thats why it has been slow the past couple of nights?:confused2:

[Larry]

Glad I sat out. Others had reported it being slow also.

The water needs to warm up a little more and you will see the action pick up.
Wait till Fri, Sat, Sun Eve. Temps will be up around 65-67 and the water level will drop 1-2ft.
Conditions will be as best as they can for 06 so far.

What teams are you guys on for the tourney.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

I wanted to join the tourney, but with my fiance working nights with a sporatic schedule (shes a nurse), and the two kids at home (5,6), I wasnt sure how limited my fishing will be. I didnt want to be dead weight for any team.

[Larry]

I just signed up yesterday. Ryan all you need is one fish. I know yer good for a 20lbr at least 1 this summer. You should sign up, It would be cool having another MN on the ciruit.
Also give us a good reason to get together and fish.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

I thought the signup was over already??? If Not, I just might have to!

[Ryan]

Very slow for us last night, too. Between 7 of us, I think we had three runs and one fish. It was only a 4-5 pounder, too. We were on the upper Mississippi from shore between 7 and 11:30. The lone flathead came shortly before dark on a "7 inch" bullhead.

[rushing]

hmmmm Tourney???

[Larry]

Hey Ryan Wiggs,
I bet the bites gonna perk up this weekend. The water level still dropping and the temps will start rising in the waters down from you.

Rushing BOC has a tournament that you can get into still if your interested.

Ryan Nuthinlikeacat,
Did you sign up. I saw that you were looking into it. Keep working it with Paul, you got a little pull as a star memeber.
THey will take care of you.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

Larry,
I posted that I was interested on getting into the tournament. I sent in my entry fee through paypal earlier today.

I went out tonight for an hour off shore near the Chaska Boat landing. Had one run right away, and it ended up being a 17.6 lb flattie. Took the necessary pics and sent them off in hopes Paul can get me on a team. That would be a nice start if it would count.

[rushing]

I was out last night. Didnt see any action but a fruend caugh a 46lber right before we showed up. Were on the BOC can I find out more about this tourney?

[nuthinlikeacat]

go under the BOC tournaments link, then look for the BOC 2006 Summer Smash. The contest has started, but they are looking for a few more people.

[nuthinlikeacat]

here are 2 pics from my outing last night. The pics kinda suck being I had to do it myself.

9656

[Larry]

Sweet Fish Ryan!!!!!
Whooo HOO!!!!!
Hopefully they will let you use it in the tourny.
The wife will be out of town this weekend. I have projects during the day. But it looks like I'll have to hit it Fri, SAt and Sun night. (Bummer) three nights of fishing ought to tide me over for another week.
Sorry to say but your gonna have to raise on the 17.5lber. Otherwise I'm gonna have to call you and raise you up to 25lbs or bigger. :roll_eyes:
Way to start the season. I figured that they would start hitting soon enough.
The water temp just poked over 65 yesteday.
thanks
Larry

[rushing]

I prolly woulda joined it if I knew about it earlier. Looks interesting.

[Ryan]

Nice fish. We'll see if I can stick one tonight!

[Ryan]

Well, I only made it out for an hour before a t-storm chased me off:sad2: We had one run before we left. Always next week, I guess. I'm off to chase bass (can I say that on here?) and enjoy the weekend at the cabin.

[Larry]

good luck on the Bass and have a good weekend.
I'll keep tabs on the Cats down here.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

yeah, the fiance works this whole weekend so I get to stay home and spend time with the kids. I might take them out during the day for a couple hours to see if we can get them their first catfish.

Depending on how the week pans out, I hope to be out sometime during the week. If not, best of luck to you all!

[nuthinlikeacat]

Rushing,
I got on team "O" for the BOC Summer Smash Tourney. From what I can see, we only have 3 members on our team, and everyone else has 4. If you still want to get into it, post that you want to join, or contact Paul. It would be cool to have another MN member on our team. Maybe he would put you on our team "O". The contest runs till the first part of July, so theres still plenty of time to catch a few big ones!

[rushing]

Well if I woulda known about the tourney earlier I would have a 28lber on the board already.:lol: Oh well, next year I will take part! Good Luck!!!

[nuthinlikeacat]

Went out last night and stayed for about 2 hours. Had one run in the 2 hrs I was there. Needless to say I got broke off. That was the first time in 5 yrs that has happened, and the first time since I switched to Power Pro. It was a very nice fish by the way he fought and headed straight for the deep water. I got him within 20 ft from shore, and he turned back to head towards the deep water and I couldnt turn him back. Oh well, I guess when I do catch him, maybe I can find my hook :crazy:

[nuthinlikeacat]

where did everyone go??? been kinda quiet as of late!

[rushing]

I have to work every other week/weekend so I havent been out. tonight is my only night off this week and I dont think I am gonna be getting out tonight. Things had been pretty slow the last few days around here but I heard some fish were caught last night. The hot weather must have got them on the feed bag again.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Yeah, yesterday I spent most of the day doing things for the survivor series. That along with the fact it was nearly 100 outside made me think twice and decide not to go out last night. I have to work tonight, and along with the heat outside, I think I will wait until tomorrow to go.

[rushing]

Too bad I wasn't on a team this summer I would have a 43lb flat on the board! We fished from 9:30pm -12am and got six fish.
3 - under 10lb
1 - 11lb channel
1 - 15lb flat
1 - 43lber (my personal best!)

I have been trying hard for two years to break the 40lb mark and have come so close and finally broke it. The fish were still biting when we left but the nats were so bad out that we were gettin eating alive so we caled it a night. I have caught almost 100lbs of catfish this year and its not even June yet!:lol: Its looking to be a good summer!

[The J-Man!]

Congrats on the big flathead Rob. That sounds like one nice fish. Last Labor Day I caught my first 40 pounder and it was fun, fun, fun! Where about did you catch her and what did she bite on?

[nuthinlikeacat]

I'm going to head out to Chaska this evening to try the river. I will report what happened tomorrow morning.

[rushing]

Fished a hole behind some submerged rocks. Got em all on bullies...its all I use. It sure was a good time. Too bad I cant get back out untill this weekend.

[Larry]

Sweet Stringer Mate!
Way to go on the personal best. Was it a good battle???:tounge_out: .
I really hope you were able to take some pics.
cant wait to see.
congrats.
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

went to my new found honey hole tonight to see if I could use up the 3 remainder bullheads I had left. I got there about 11:30, and left about 12:30.
They were 17, 19, 24lbs
3 fish and here are the pics...
10012

10013

10014

Hope you like them. Guess I got a new entry for the contest.

By the way...Larry, I have an open spot at my honey hole possibly Fri night:big_smile_2:

[nuthinlikeacat]

Just wondering if anyone got out this past weekend? I had graduations, so I didnt get out. Looks like I may have to get out during the week, being I think I have more graduations this coming weekend.

[Larry]

Hey Ryan,
Looks like your knocken them dead at your new spot.
My buddy and I went down and fished from shore in Shakopee on the south side of the river. We tried 2 spots. behind the log jam on 101 bridge and below the boat launch. I may have had one bite. Lost a bullhead.
Want to try a little further up the river. It gonna suck being with out my boat for another 2 weeks.
Actually I'll get my prop and be able to use the boat for a couple days. Till my other buddy takes it up to Canada.
If your heading out this week and want company let me know.
Still got my number?
thanks
Larry

[rushing]

Was out last night, my friend ditched out early. I had a few runs lost a nice fish and got chased off the river by lightening about midnight.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Larry,
When were you down there this weekend? I drove down to the 101 bridge Saturday with my girls to check out a few spots. There is a sandbar starting to form upriver about a couple hundred yards from the bridge. Looks like a lot of people have been fishing it. Although it looks like a good spot to try, I have no idea if there are any deep holes there, and it looks a little thin on structure. My guess is there are fish there, but w/o a lot of cover, and no idea as to if there is a deep hole, there may be no biggens there. I still have your number. I'll have to find out what the fiance works this coming week. what type of work schedule do you work?

Rushing,
On the way back from graduations in Mankato on Friday, I stopped by where you have been fishing. A couple of your buddys were fishing there in a boat (River Pro boat) I believe. I didnt get a chance to wet a line, but checked out a few other spots on the way back to the cities. My friend was down there and talked to them, and I was wondering if they ended up getting anything. I stopped back through there after stopping to see a few friends, and they were fishing the log jam at the old bridge legs.

The river is dropping fast, and according to the people I have talked to, the flatties are biting everywhere from New Ulm to Shakopee.

[rushing]

Dont know how they did. Must not have been too good otherwise I prolly woulda heard something. Well I should prolly go gather some bullies for tonight...good luck!

[Larry]

Hey Ryan,
I was down there Fri Eve. probably started around 8:30. Stayed till almost Midnight. I work days (sometimes long ones.). Work on the weekends pretty regular as well.
If we can plan a little in advance I can adjust my scheduel so I'm off. Otherwise I can do say nuts and fish anyways and suffer through the next day.
Let me know if your interested. I'm loaning my boat to my buddy at the end of the week.. But before he takes it. I want to do a little scouting along shakopee to see where the holes are. I think I saw the Bar that you were talking about. Honestly, I think that the people fising are going for otherthings than cats. but I could be wrong.
Let me know what your scheduel is. Were long overdue for getting together and fishing (basically enought time talking ...........time to start walking the walk)
We'll make it happen.
take it easy Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

Larry, I sent you a PM. I think your right about that bar. I'm guessing they were fishing for whatever would bite. I cant imagine any sizeable flatties taken off the front of that bar. It doesnt look too deep, and the water goes through there pretty fast.

[nuthinlikeacat]

IS anybody heading out this weekend? and if so, where?

[The J-Man!]

I'm heading out Saturday and Sunday just outside New Ulm. I can't wait to get out, I have not had many chances this year. I'll let you know how we do.

[Larry]

Gonna try for Sat evening. My boat will be in Canada with out me :sad2:
so it will be shore fishing time. Not sure on where to go yet. still thinking on that one.
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

Can anyone tell me where I can catch some bullheads in the cities?

[The J-Man!]

Can anyone tell me where I can catch some bullheads in the cities?


I have been wondering the same thing.

[hanson]

Moore's Bait & Tackle in south Minneapolis actually sells legal, bait sized bullheads.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Thanks man... All these lakes up here in the cities, and I cant find a lake to catch bullheads. I guess thats not such a bad thing!

[The J-Man!]

Thanks man... All these lakes up here in the cities, and I cant find a lake to catch bullheads. I guess thats not such a bad thing!
That's true Ryan. Catching bullhead used to drive me nuts. Of course now that you want to catch a few, they are tough to find. I do know of a lake in Albert Lea where they seem plentiful, I caught several of them a month ago or so. That's a ways to drive just for bait though.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Yeah, I used to live around the Mankato area, and the lakes are full of Bullheads. Now that I live an hour from there it's quite a ways to drive to catch bait. I guess I can always catch a bunch, and try to keep them alive. But even with a bubbler and a place to keep them, when its this hot out its a chore to keep them alive. And I hate the fact of having to go buy bullheads....that just aint right!

[rushing]

Yeah we are spoiled down Kato way for bullies. I live in a basement apt so I have no prob keeping 12-18 bullies in a 5gal bucket alive for as long as I need to. Plus my friends all have some sort of bait tank so if I dont have bait they do. I fished a great snag thursday night I only caught a couple under 20lbs but we couldnt stay very long though since my buddy had to work the next day so we got off the river about 11pm. I need to get a boat!:lol:

[Larry]

Congrats on the fish Mate, A boat does help, especially if its the right one. Mine is not too bad in rivers but this year the MN has put a hurtin already.
2 anchors. (One big one homemade). One Prop, New steering assembly, Impeller Waterpump replaced. One spotlight. Oh yea 1 good life jacket.
Logs hurt at 25mph :crazy:
But its worth it, Water is much more predictable now and less debris just have to watch for shallow spots.
show us a pic of one of your fish!
thanks
Larry

[rushing]

I usually dont bother taking pics of any fish smaller than 20lbs but I just bought a digital cam (waiting for it to be delivered) so I am sure I wil soon be taking pics of anything and everything since I no longer have to pay for the film to be developed. Yeah moving in aboat that fast around here is askin for trouble unless you have a River Pro. The water is alot "skinnier" down here and tons of deadheads just hiding underneatth the surface. Takes time to get to different spots but better safe than sorry!

[nuthinlikeacat]

Hey Rushing, I saw your friends out in the river Pro A while ago. Just wondering where they got that, and how much it ran? Those jet boats are the way to go, and I have tried to find one like they have, but have had no luck finding one.

[nuthinlikeacat]

Dirk.
Where in MN are you from?

[hanson]

nuthinlikeacat-

RiverPro is manufactured in Hillsboro, MO. Kevin Turner is the owner of the company. I do not think you'll find any dealers locally or in the state for RiverPro, you'd have to work directly with Kevin.

Cost of one new will put you in the 25K range. And they sell used for around 15K +

For most of us, its a dream!

[nuthinlikeacat]

Yeah, at that cost, I guess It is a dream. I guess if I'm going to spend that kinda money on a boat, it will be both a fishing and recreational boat.

Thanks for the info:smile2:

[rushing]

Ryan - Those River Pros are so much fun! They're like tanks you can fly around the river like a sports car in. Big money though!

Hanson - I am suprised you're not ordering one right now, after that 48lber you caught the other night!!:lol:

I havent talked to anyone who has been out down here since we have had this cold front and all this rain. Wonder how the flats are down here? The only night this week I am gonna be able to get out is tomorrow. But I'm sure I'll be out all next weekend.

[The J-Man!]

Went fishing just outside New Ulm this weekend. The river was very high. We had about 10 feet less shoreline than usual. I did find a bait shop in town with bullheads for $3 a dozen, so that worked out. We caught one channel (8 lbs) and no flatheads! It was kind of disappointing. We had a few runs, but couldn't keep them hooked. Hopefully I can get out again soon.

[nuthinlikeacat]

J-man
Thanks for the report. I was down Near Mankato on Sat night getting bait, but I didnt do any fishing being it was raining on and off all day.

[The J-Man!]

J-man
Thanks for the report. I was down Near Mankato on Sat night getting bait, but I didnt do any fishing being it was raining on and off all day.
I don't blame you Ryan, we fished in the rain a few hours Saturday evening. It quit around 8 or so and was clear all night after that. The bank was quite muddy so watching your step was important. We had one guy who had a few too many and eventually slipped out of his chair and backpeddaled into the river. It was pretty halarious. Good thing we had a change of clothes for him! :lol:

[nuthinlikeacat]

Yeah, i had both fo the girls with me (5,6). I brought their tent to set up on a sandbar, in case we went out. As cold as it was along with the fact of it being muddy, we decided not to go. I have a busy rest of the week....between two jobs I have no extra time at all, so I guess my fishing is done until this Fri night. I'm hoping to get a hold of Larry and hit the river this weekend....as long as its not to crappy out! I'm also still going in the BOC Survivor so I'm sure I will have a task to complete also by the end of this week.

[Larry]

Ryan,
I'm thinking Sat night might work. I'm gonna try to get my boat back from Shamu. He will be getting into town from Canada Sat afternoon. As long as nothing is broke. Lets hit it Sat night in the boat. Otherwise we will have to hit a shore spot.
I'm Game.

J-man congrats on the nice channel. Keep working the Flatties your turn will come. I've been doing quick sets to get my two for the year. If I let them have it for more than a couple seconds I seem to miss them. good Luck
thanks
Larry

[nuthinlikeacat]

wheres everyone at?

[rushing]

I'm here, just got done with my long week so I'll be out fishin for most of this next week. Just got back from catching this weekends supply of bullies. Hopefully will be pouring some lead this afternoon. The supply me and my friends poured 2 seasons ago is runnin out. I put some of those carbonex drag wasers in my 6500 this week so hopefully this weekend I will get into some fish to try em out. The only time I got out this past week was last monday. I was out for 11hrs missed a couple, one very nice fish missed. Didnt land my first fish until 5am, lil 8lber. The bite has been slow and very late. Most bites have come well after midnight. Summer is here full force now with this heat and the ultra low river levels!!!

[nuthinlikeacat]

yep, the fishing has slowed, and the bite times have changed. To me this is the best time of the year to fish....maybe not so much for the bite, more for the fact they bite later at night, and most people decide to call it quits around midnight. The sound of the frogs, the poppin from the fire, the sound of the clicker screaming in the early morning hours....and watching the sun come up....its all priceless. I plan on heading out Sat night for an all-nighter, so I'll give an update then. I'm going to start scouting spots for when the catfish tourneys start.

Wed is my b-day, so I'll probably be going out that night also.
