Decided to hit it last night around 930 ish,,,Fishing by 10 45pm.
This time we brought some bait with us to see how the kitty action would be at the NEW spot:Secret:.
We planned on getting set up with bait rods,for kittys, then hunting for some stripers with our other rods.
When we get there CUTBAIT starts riging up his bait rod <LIKE WE AGREED WE WOULD BOTH DO 1ST!>
THEN I PROMPTLY BURNT HIM and grabed my jerkbait rod and hit the honey hole:Rolls Eyes:,,,
Sorry bro,,,,,,My striper fever made me do it:Embarrassed:
so im casting and he gets riged up on his bait rod and gets ready to cast and then it happens,,,,,,TB gets SLAMED,,,Right at my feet,,HUMONGUS fight lasts almost 15 minutes,,,,,,,,,,give and take forever,,,,,,,New she was big ,,wasnt sure how big but at least way into the DDgts
FINALLY was able to get her into a nettable distance and CUTBAIT did the honors,,EXELENT NET JOB<,,,,SHE barely fit into our net,,,,,,,She was really hard to handle beacuse of the way she was hooked,,,the tail hook was in her mouth and the front hook was burried in the back of her head,,,,,,She had way more torque working against me hook,d like that
She weigh,d out at 18.2,lbs on the digi,,,,,,,she was SOOOOO fat,,GIRTH WAS MASSIVE for her length,,,I WAS STOKED:Big Grin:
By now CUTBAIT was getting his bait rod out,,,,,,,,Was out no more then a minute or so and he hollard HOOKUP!,Hadnt even put his rod down yet,Great fight for him also,,,,,,,,turned out to be a big ole channel cat at abought 8 lbs.
Then i hook up on another striper,,,,Another DD for sure,,,BUT NOTHING LIKE THE 1ST,
At 1 point she came plum out of the water and did a cartwheel in the air,,,COULDNT BELEAVE IT,,And in no time at all after that she just gave up,,,,,When i got her in the net i could see why,,Her mouth was stuck completely shut by 2 trebble hooks,,,SHE COULDNT BREATH.
She ended up weighing 12.4 lbs on the digi.
Before i could get her put away cutbait was on another PIG KITTY.
Then another,,,then another,,,then another,,,,HE WAS ON FIRE with these kittys.
All in all he landed 9 kittys from 2 1/2 to 8 lbs and i was only able to get hooked up with 1 .
All the catfish were channel cat eccept for 1 white cat,,,,,,and all were really fat just like the stripers,,WELL FED,,As you,l see in one of the pics
No more stripers after that ,,,We finally ran out of bait abought 2 am ,,,,WAS SO GLAD,,,,,,,we, had been standing in a 20 foot area for 3 hrs or so casting,,,fighting feesh ,,netting feesh ,,,,,,,Our backs were sore,,LOL and it was getting cold and foggy.
We headed in.;
STRIPERS cought on BPS,X P S 5in JERKBAIT,,,,Fished SLOWWW,
Catfish on bait,,,,Almost all were cought drifting the bait with a slow bottom bounce style drift,,,,,,,SPLIT SHOT rig.
