A short while later the Shimano drag started to scream and I ended up with my Flathead PB jumping from 10lbs to 58lbs! The bite stayed pretty steady through most of the night with us landing a 34lb, 46lb, 37lb & 40lb yellowcats with an 8lb largemouth bass and a 26lb bluecat caught in the mix as well. Definitely an Awesome night of fishing out there ! The 58 & 46 came off of the PAT bank rod and absolutely did a Great job in fighting the fish! Can't wait to pick up a few more of those rods once they get in.
A huge Thanks to Dustin for teaching us quite a few new things and opening our eyes to alot of new concepts. Thanks a bunch Bro! That was one heckuva fun night of fishing & still just trying to soak it all in!












had a great times guys! now im just watching the clock.....

Found a place on hubbard that had trees in deeper water then i could get to but seemed to be kinda protected with a hard bottom and one area had a clay type bottom it seemed when walking thru it. Would a place like this be very good this time of the year? The trees like i said i wouldnt really be abe to get to them since they are out about 100 yards or so and if i wade i could cast to them thou? Any hubbard fisherman knows the area its btween 66 and miller road if you cross the tracks parking at miller there is ample bank room but you have to walk a bit to get to it. Any chance they may come in there?
Just looking to catch a few big cats if i can, dont fish for them much anymore and if i go catfishing i want it to be for the big catfish. Im catch and release anyway and would be using mainly live bluegill which is what i normally use unless i can get some big live shad in the winter for them.
Any opinions?
Thanks

Most Excellent!!!

5 Stars!!!

And you hit on the 2 day YC (YellowCat) run on the Catfish Calendar April 28th/29th (Thurs/Fri). Next run (roam/feed) will be May 7th/8th (Sat/Sun).

Will post May's calendar tonight or tomorrow on my Catfish Calendar thread.

Sadly, I was on a work-a-thon. Worked from Friday 8:30 AM (hour for lunch) until 3:30 AM Saturday. Sawed logs in the truck outside of the shop for 3 hours until the crew honked for me to open the gate just before 7 AM. So I got 3 hours of ZZZ before busting it again until 2:50 PM. Last one standing, as they had all left between Noon & 1 PM. So I guess next weekend will be a little fishing, as this one was diverted completely.
