Launched out of Osborne Landing Tues. morning and met up with Bluecat69 later in the day. Fishing was slow but managed to get a 23, 17, 10, and 5 smaller ones. The 23 and 17 were caught on shad, all the smaller ones on cut eel. Finished fishing at about 6pm.

Wed. morning we again launched out of Osborne and made it to Deep Bottom when I realized I did not put the plug in the boat! (first time I ever did that) Anyway, Immediately pulled up the the shore and the bilge pump had kept up as I didn't have but about a half gallon of water in the bottom of the hull! I figured luck was on my side today Well on Tues. I was attempting to drain the water from the minnow bucket I had my eels in and the lid opened and I dumped all the eels in the river! So today it would only be shad! Fishing was a little better today and since I only had about 4 hours to fish we didn't even bother moving from the first spot I set up at.
From 10am - 1pm we landed 4 fish in the low 20's, (2 were actually 37" & 36" but very skinny) a 15, and about 6 dinks! I also had a nice fish break my line, Set the hook on a really nice fish and about 3 seconds later the line went slack.... I was disgusted thinking I was too impatient but when I reeled the line in my 50lb mono leader was snapped about half way up to the swivel.

Mike and Ramon....Please send me your phone number again...>Dropped my phone in the river yesterday and had no way to contact either of you today. Thanks

Hey Larry you look hot in the pics lol and I dont mean sexy lmao. Even the big cat looks like he dried up quick. You are a brave man brother. Hey dont feel bad about the eels or the phone, I just realized I left 9 Gills in my bait cooler from Sunday. I went to the boat to put the starting battery back in after charging and I smelled death again lol. Dumped that damn cooler and went to the wash and cleaned my cooler, will clean the fish up tomorrow morning before work and throw them in the trash. Nice trip and thanks for the report

for a minute I thought you were making a pass at me ramon! lmao!!! My forehead got sunburnt so bad yesterday I couldn't even wear a hat today! I had to cut a piece of towel and wet it then wrap it around my head! lol

Also wanted to mention that I just changed all my hooks to the 8/0 team catfish Double action hooks.....I really like them and my hook-up rate with them is near 100%

Yep thats my favorite Hook, I actually like the Daiichi Chunk a little better because its Red and I can get them at the local stores but I think the TC comes in Red also

Larry, thanks for the report. Don't feel bad about the plug, I done that before only thing is I realized it at the ramp in front of about 20 people. Of course everybody including my wife(except me) got a good laugh. Anyways don't have to worry about that now with the toon. Glad to see some good size cats in the boat.

there's plenty lol, I normally take care of them, but I didnt turn the damn aerator on, treat the water or cover them with shade. When I got back sunday night I wasnt thinking about the gills due to my damn Voltage regulator going out and my batteries being dead, Hell Mike had to tow me to the dock. I guess I just had other stuff on my mind. Batteries are charged now and I'm gonna order a new regulator today It wont be here by this weekend but im fishing this weekend anyway.
