After a short layoff from my favorite sport I finally got the chance to spend a day fishing for cats with my good friend Trolly and the decision to go back out to DVL was the right choice.
We got on the water around 8:00am and hit up an area that produced for us the last time out. I was able to hook up to the first three fish of the day and I did my best to rub it in to Trolly a little bit because I knew it wouldn't be long before he'd catch up. I really had the edge on Trolly when he was getting ready to net my second fish. Just before he got the net to the water we heard a big knock on the side of the boat and we both stopped to look for what it was. Just as soon as we realized Trolly was on with his first fish the rod fell over the side and we watched it dissapear like a torpedo leaving the boat. We both looked at each other in amazement and all I could do was tell Trolly it looked like he was going to have to try to outfish me with one rod.:Wink:
I couldn't let My good friend suffer like that so I let him rig up my back up rod and the game was on. Trolly got into the hot bite and we both had our limits by 11:30am.
We did some experimenting with circle hooks and we were able to release all the fish we got except one that was hooked pretty deep.
We didn't get the larger size fish like we had been getting in the past few weeks but it was still a good day on the water with a good friend doing what we like to do most....fish for the cats.
Here's a few pics from the day......
