This morning had the feel of a great day on the water, 34 degrees with a light breeze, and it was Mothers day. Everything was lined up for good fishing, no bugs, and no skiers/surfers. Arriving at the North marina at 7:00 am revealed an empty parking lot........perfect.

I stopped at Anglers Den Saturday and bought a 9.5 ft Fenwick spinning rod and Penn reel so the first order of business was to break it in. After a couple hit and drops this cat held on long enough to pose for a photo.

It turned out to be my personal best solo day with 15 cats netted in 3 hrs. The fish must have sensed that they were loosing the fight and tried the tag-team approach because I had 4 doubles, which included the big fish of the day at 25+ inches and 6 lbs.

Everything was caught on my flat sided fligs in Shad and Rainbow trout patterns, tipped with sucker.

Since it was Mothers day and I can't gender identify a catfish, all kitty's were released to make more fish.
