My week of channel cat fishing!

Set out today before the rain on the first trip of the year on the Portage River. It didnt take long after we got goin for the channels to start biting! We fished for about a half hour and got 6 channels who were realesed. One being a pretty nice one which I didn't measure :big:. The water was down and clear but it started to rain then we left. Hopefully it doesnt get to bad
Kevon on the bike-ready to leave

Went fishing Friday and today for the cats. They were biting good! Caught 6 cats Friday 4 channels 2 bulls. 2 roughies a common carp and a buffalo. 8 all together-pretty fun for the amount of time we stayed. Then today ended up with 16 channels and 1 bullhead all together 17 and it was fast! Got 2 fish on the first pole in the water b4 I could get a second in! Cooked some hot dogs up and ate them while we were fishing. It's getting good soon the big ones will be around! All fish released kept on stringer for pic :big:





Even got Kevon fishing today


Goldfish=Rare Catch
It has been beautiful the last 2 days but I haven't got anyone to go fishing with me! So today was so nice I decided to head down by myself. Another nice day water going down and clear skies. Got down there and it only took five minutes to get the 2 biggest fish on the stringer that I would get all day. After these I get a good bite after I missed about 10 Set the hook-GOLDFISH! :big: at 13inches! That made my trip! Got Dad to come take some pics all together ended up with 2 bullhead 13 channels and the one GOLDFISH! Worms were the ticket to catch these small cats




Went night fishing yesterday. It was tough after the lantern went out and we couldn't start a fire due to rain. I ended up catching 5. I am entering these on a fishing tournament at http://fishing-headquarters.com Pics-

Got down to the river at about 4:30. It was a lil nasty out but with a warm fire we goin it was ok. The wind was gale force and only slowed down at the end of our trip. At the begining of the fishing I got my first channel of only 3. After this the carp and bullheads REALLY turned on! One bullhead was 14in. and The :big: Biggest carp of the last 2 seasons was at 27in. Fish Ohio! This was great fishing with 2 carp 3 channels and the rest were bullheads. 18 of my fish were bullheads which was kool b/c they just started turning on now! It was a great day out besides the wind. My friend grotz-guide pulled some of his own fish-he caught some b4 I did-I think he got them turned on Pics-
