[Wabash River Bear]

Saturday afternoon and evening was awsome weather for fishing, damn shame someone forgot to inform the flattys at T/C. 3 pm to 11 pm without so much as a bump. I pulled all the stops, even went 2 hook rig, cut/live, to get some scent out with the distressed live bait, no joy. The wife caught enough bait and fingerling channels to feed all them poor kids on those Sally Struthers commercials, lol, and we did manage to piss off a den of beavers who came home from a hard days work to find a damn boat parked in their front yard, pesky persistant critters finally ran us out, called it a night. Maybe better next weekend, lol.

P.S.
Buddy who shall remain nameless (aka National Gathering Man of Mystery), glad to see you came over, sorry it wasnt worth the trip, good to see you again.

sorry to that. tc can be pretty tough. i know I have spent many nights down there and all that came of it was a bunch of tiny channels. you'll get em next time.

Turtle Creek! Does that place have any fish left in it of any size? I havent fished it in over 12-13 yrs, heard a good while back that they had no limit at all, on cats, figured there must be an over population problem, which in turn, usualy means stunted growth, but i dont know. With a fish factory like the bash near by, I think I would have been hitting the river, especialy with it still on the rise saturday. the debris wasent to bad when you got set up in some slack water, finding the slack water was probly the hardest part, next to getting the boat off the trailer...lol

I've seen some big flat heads come out of there in the last two years. I've also seen 2-3 dead ones that were at least 30 pounds. I hooked a 5 pounder two or three weeks ago while fishing for gills... now that was fun on very light tackle... Took me about 5 min. to get him in... We should have tried to catch them that day. These two guy's were leaving as we pulled in and they didn't catch anything. we caught four cats over 3 pounds in 45 min. LOL But we weren't using big poles and stuff just light tackle... LOL
