This was my last night on the river for that road trip. The cats were still in full bloom spawn at this time so I was happy to catch anything really, especially since I originally went up that way to fish stripers but hey I like to catch fish so whatever is giving me the most bang for my buck is what I'm gonna chase.

Me too! I was planning on being up there at least once a month this year but these diesel prices are really limiting my travel plans this summer.

Mentioned they were in spawn so you were lucky to catch anything. Do they quit biting then? About when does the spawn start and end? maybe that's why things have been so slow here this year. Got the first one last night about 8:45. River was really really high this spring and couldn't get to it. Then it finally settled down and nothing hitting till last night!

Sorry brother it's been a busy week round here.

We can still catch fish during the spawn it's just that it gets difficult catching bigger fish during this time period.

What state are you in? The spawn down here is about 4 to 5 weeks longs with the middle weeks of June being the worst of it.
