Well the long wait is nearly done, I plan on leaving the IE on Thursday about 12:00, head out to Katherienes Landing for my very first river trip! The plan is to start off at Katherienes Landing and then troll down (or up) to cottonseed cove, and willow beach, gonna bring along a whole lot of coffee and try for some marathon fishing at least 18 hour stretches, for striper, and catfish. Striper on the troll and cutting the daylight hours and then Catfish once the sun goes down. Planning th put the boat lights on and drop 2 box anchors dieting the night, chill and wait for the sound of line stripping off the reels. This will hopefully be just the first of many throughout the year... I am hopeful that the catching will be more fast paced then the lakes of So Cal... At least how it has been for the past 9 months anyhow!
