Looks like fun, great job. I'm sure your freezer is full, but I would've been tempted to take that nice looking channel cat home for lunch! Thanks for sharing, I've been striking out on the sunfish lately, good to see some hope on the horizon.

Thanks JigandJeep! Yes Sir Channel Cats are awesome eating just like the Bluegill. I have been eating my share of Crappie and Trout this winter and have been letting the rest go. That will change once spring time arrives. Side Note: Give it a few more week and the Sunfish bite will be picking up for sure.

Always a great bonus catching some cats while panfishing. Last year I was teaching my oldest boy how to fish plastics for bass and thought I hooked a large one in the process. To my surprise it was a big channel cat. Sure tasted good!! You sure do catch a lot of fish banker. Good job!

Thanks Hunter 498 and CopenhagenPete for the replies. CopenhagenPete: Seems a Channel Cat will hit just about anything. I have caught em on worms(both artificial and live),corn,lures,jigs,and even trout bait not to mention just regular catfish bait. Oh yea. Got to agree with you. They are good eating!

I love hiking a small creek with a 4wt fly rod. Always catch a variety of fish and the sunfish normally have amazing colors. Seems like each region or even creek has their own subspecies. This is particularly the case for longear, there are places in Dallas that have a more gold/turquoise color, but places in ETX have a deep red/rust color.
It's a fun way to fish but you have to deal with lots of critters.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Thanks Andrew for the reply! Yes sir creek fishing can get very interesting at times. Winter time is usually a good time to fish the creeks do the fact that the snakes are not usually out during that time. Now that spring is almost here and the fact we had a very mild winter,the snakes and insects are going to really be out there! Got to be careful fishing those creeks.

Nice post and fish Chuck. Winter time is the best time for creek fishing. Did not get much of a chance fishing the creeks this past winter. There will be plenty of insects and snakes out this year do to the very mild past winter. Stay safe out there and watch where you step.
Side Note: Already saw my first snake of the year. A very large water snake on Mcqueeney!

Nice ones Chuck. You do very well on those creeks.
Side Note: Seeing any snakes? I can remember last year when you and USMC-GY walked up on a rattler!
