Had an epic day on the water last Saturday and with the night fishing window coming to a close I had to get out there at least one more time....GLAD I did!
Hit the lake by 4:30 with plenty of light left to scope out some likely spots....started along the West Shore before settling in along the mouth of Sierra Cove. GREAT call TaperSteve!
Caught quite a few fish in the 2-4lb range, Steve caught fire and started making me wonder if I was going to play "net boy" the rest of the night! :LOL:
Started to fish much larger baits to try and keep the rats away and it eventually paid off! :Big Grin:
17.3lbs of channel cat and a new personal best, safely released to fight another day!

Good luck to all the Team57 guys fishing Saturday....I hope you get one double his size! :Wink:
See you at the lake...
