Finally! Yes, I finally got off the wheel of car breakdowns. It has been going on since the end of April. Maybe I can get some normality back once again after 5 months of that merry-go-round.
So, let's head on into October with High Hopes & a reboot to better times. A little cool down would not hurt either. We were talking about the recent unusual high humidity for about the past 3 years with a homebuilder the other day. He told us that recently there was some discussion on it, by some group. He said that they cannot nail down exactly why it is occurring, but that it is wreaking havoc. At the cabinet shop I am at, very high humidity can warp or even blow up a cabinet door made of real, solid wood, as well as even a 1/4" plywood flat panel door. The wood simply swells up enough to pop its joints, or it can cause the panel to warp the whole door. The industry is going now for 3/8" (for flat panel) with a cutout on the back side to help prevent the warping. It seems to be working as that problem.
Here is to drier air, may it soon find its way to us. Times' a wastin'!
Anyways, here is your October 2017 Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] with all the "fixins".

on 9-19-17 (Tuesday), you ("carolinaskipper") noted ... "Will be fishing this weekend. Ill let yall know if the Yellow Cats are biting!" then posted on 9-29-17 (Friday) ... "We went this weekend, Caught a 38 pound yellow cat. Caught about a dozen more between 5-15 pounds. Caught several channels as well. Average 5 pounds each. No blue cats. All caught on live perch." I am guessing that you were speaking of the preceding weekend, which was as follows as to the Catfish Calendar's 4 "sigs"--- 21 ZIP Thurs./ 22 BC Fri./ 23 BFT Sat./ 24 BFT Sun./ 25 ZIP Mon. Of course, my listed "PYC" days were noted as being on the 23rd & 24th (Sat & Sun), which is separate from the Calendar, yet it is the underlying pattern I discovered for Yellows (as well as Gator Gars). And for those who get the printed Calendar, I now have those PYC days incorporated (included) on their actual numbered days, instead of separately on a sheet of paper, or in a separate list when I post the RTF version of the Catfish Calendar here on the TFF. For me, the BFT days usually bring in more Channels for me. Anyways ... Congrats! Looking Good! Glad to assist. I like that special side shoulder shot! Thanks for sharing the pics!!! Also, if you veer over to the Rough Fish section (that includes Gar), see "gar1970" post & pic of his son's PB Gator Gar. It was caught on a YC day 10-3-17 Tues. The 2nd & 3rd were both YC days, as well as my pick for PYC days. And as noted in the KEY, the Gator Gars run the same day as the Yellows do.

yessir caught on the 23rd. which you said was the PYC. How do we get the printed calendar? And is the printed calendar for next year? We usually go in the spring and fall but do not usually plan our dates until we see the calendar you post.

The 2017 "Hard Copy" (printed) calendar takes you to the end of December 2017. Plus gives some tips on angles to help with using the calendar. There are items to know, to get the max out of working the calendar. Along with stories & pics, not just of me, but others as well. Even at 2 to 2 1/2 months left, it is worth it, especially to those wanting to plan even just a trip or two thru the end of the year.
2017 "Hard Copy" itself is $17. Shipping is $5 protected in bubble wrap, plus tracking (USPS now rules that it is rigid due to the wire binding & must go as a 1st Class parcel). Check or money order. If you choose PayPal, an extra $1. Just email me at <hlynnh@peoplepc.com> or PM me on TFF for more info.
I am currently mapping out 2018 (January thru December). From the preliminary look, (notes & such are not handy here by the keyboard) I recall some folks might want to get a jump on July 4th (2018) starting with the weekend before. And it looked the same way for T-Day aka Thanksgiving (2018). Speaking of YC & BC. Have not done the PYC yet, as I have to map out the standard calendar, having a month before & a month after to nail which are my picks for the PYC pattern. I am truly hoping to finally have one put together before the end of the year. That will be a big first. I have already started collecting stories & pics, but there is room for a few others.

Maybe one day I can set down and type you up some of our stories that go along with the calendar. Like I said, we usually plan a spring and fall trip around your calendar every year, and we have been successful every time.

BOO!!!
With all the hoopla over spirits & goblins (and the off & on rain tonight), I almost forgot it was the last day of the month, being Halloween. That means it's time for November & what the Calendar shows for the world of Catfishing for Yellows & Blues, as well as Gator Gars.
Sorry for late response "CarolinaSkipper", but glad to hear the Calendar helps in your two big trips a year. I'll be looking forward to those stories & some pics.
I am still working on the 2018 Catfish Calendar. I will let you & everybody, know when the printed calendars can be obtained. I am trying to shoot for before the New Year. If I make it, it will be a first.
I have 2018 mapped out, but still have a lot to go to get the RTF calendars. Then of course I have to sort & map out the PYC days. And the Moon phases for each month. And then transfer all of that into the "Hard Copy" monthly calendars. And in about 2 months, hopefully Ron will have enough reports on his Crappie outings to where I can get a preliminary outlook on some regular pattern as to them.
And of course, if you thought I had nothing else to do, I am also working on compiling two books, one on ancient records sealed & set to be released for our era, and the second being on the Comet of our era, known to the Hopi as the Blue Star Kachina, the 9th & final sign. As the saying goes (something akin to), I can't die, as I have too much left to do.
Anyways, here is your November 2017 Catfish Calendar ...
Lynns Catfish Calendar [LCC]- NOVEMBER 2017 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ XX / XX / XX | 1 BC | 2 BC | 3 BFT | 4 BFT 5 BC | 6 BC | 7 YC | 8 YC | 9 ZIP | 10 ZIP | 11 BC 12 BC | 13 ZIP | 14 ZIP | 15 ZIP | 16 BC | 17 BC | 18 ZIP 19 ZIP | 20 ZIP | 21 BC | 22 BC | 23 BFT | 24 BFT | 25 BFT 26 YC | 27 YC | 28 ZIP | 29 ZIP | 30 BFT ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC]- November 2017 Moon Phases--- 4th- Full Moon 10th- Last Qtr 18th- New Moon 26th- 1st Qtr
Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC]- November 2017 Lynn's PYC (Prime YellowCat) Days--- 6/7/8 Mon/Tues/Wed 16/17 Thurs/Fri 25/26 Sat/Sun
EXTRA--- Targeted BC (BlueCat) days this month, by each week, are: 1st Week- 1/2 Wed/Thur 2nd Week- 5/6/11 Sun/Mon/Sat 3rd Week- 12/16/17 Sun/Thur/Fri 4th Week- 21/22 Tues/Wed 5th Week- X/(Dec 2) X/(Sat)
***Also note that YC days (not PYC, as this only refers to the YellowCat underlying pattern) are also great for Blues.
Here is your T-Day, Turkey Day, or Thanksgiving Day & Holiday outlook, for those planning to do some extra curricular Catfishing during the 4 Day Stretch & surrounding days/weekends--- ***Sadly, the weekend before does not look good, but you could still set lines & add leaders & hooks Wed. PM or Thursday AM. Or put them "in the saddle", meaning put the hook into the swivel eye. That way, you will already have your fixed set lines ready to go come time for the 4 day tour. You actually have a 7 day assorted run- 21/22 are BC; 23/24/25 are BFT, but also 25th is the first of a 2 day PYC run; and 26th/27 are YC (26th being the 2nd of the PYC). For me, I prefer the BC, YC, and PYC days. But you can catch a mess of Channels on BFT days, or at least I seem to. Well, there ya go.
And I guess we need to post the KEY again, just in case you are new to Lynn's Catfish Calendar & trying to figure out what it all means.
Lynns Catfish Calendar [LCC]- 2017 KEY: +++++++++++++++++++++++ YC = YellowCat // BC = BlueCat // BFT = Buffet (assorted) // ZIP = Zip (not very good) Tip- Always bait out lines the night before a YC or BC day. Tip- Gator Gars (GG) run ahead of YellowCats, so bait out late (between 11 PM to 1 AM). Tip- BlueCats also bite good on YC days, but you can rack em up on BC days. Tip- Some variations or alterations are due to weather or other external influences. Tip- For Rod-n-Reelers, use Solunar Tables (etc.) also for best times with my calendar. Tip- Near Full Moon, Gator Gars & YellowCats seem to feed a few hours later. Tip- Your biggest YellowCats may hit best towards beginning & end of YC or PYC days. Tip- My PYC Days keys in on the YellowCats Feed/Roam Days Underlying Pattern. Tip- Bleedover works both ways- Before & After a calendar day. Take advantage. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Be Safe, Stay Warm, Stay Dry, Don't take Bad Risks, and Buddy Up (go out in two-s or more)!!! And be sure your Life Jacket is on!!! Not only can it help you float, but keep in the warmth a bit more.

OOPS! Note that I forgot to add my T-Day outlook info. I had to go back a few minutes after posting November & add it. So if you were one of those who viewed it faster than I could edit, you might want to go back & take a glimpse.

Looks like you had a Fantastic time out there, even amidst the rough waters. I've been out a few times on Limestone with either water smacking a TriHull & getting me wet. Or running lines squatting on the front big deck of a big 14" MonArk Flat Bottom, with occasional waves rolling over & still getting wet (even with an extra raised heighth by making a squared "U" to try & prevent a lot of that. Thank goodness we usually have 2 to 3 pumps, plus a few 5 & 3.5 gallon buckets to spare.
Anyways, glad you did Great!!! As you can tell, the Calendar will up your volume.
I was telling my Daughter & Son-in-law the other day, after they camped & fished at Lake Bryan, that instead of going on a YC or BC day, that maybe they should try a BFT (Buffet Day), because mostly the Lake has Channels. And that is the day I usually catch a lot of Channels.
Speaking of the Catfish Calendar, I just got thru with the monthly RTFs, then the Quarterly RTFs, and finally after some serious hea-racking, I just correlated the PYCs for 2018.
Which brings me to the item at hand ...
*** For all of those who have bought the 2017 Hard Copy (printed) 12 month calendar, here is your end of year PYC designated days. I could not figure them until I had reached into January 2018. I have to be able to have hindsight & foresight both ways, in order to properly tag those days. It is a 3 day PYC Run & it is now seen as December 31st, 2017/January 2nd & 3rd, 2018 (Sun/Mon/Tues). Naturally the 2018 Calendar ends right about the time a 2 day PYC runs, so I will need 2019 before I can make that judgement call.
And for those who did not get the printed copy, you have an early heads up on that.
Also, I briefly noted for 2018, that it's YellowCat season (YC days) the weekend heading into July 4th Holiday. Another glimpse ahead--- From Saturday June 30th thru July 4th Wednesday. In other words, a 5 day run of YC days according to the calendar. As to my PYC days, they fall on the 3rd & 4th (Tues/Wed). When I post December, I'll give you a glimpse of next T-Day (Thanksgiving) holidays. It's a full range week into the holiday & holiday weekend.
