Bout to fish Lewisville... Anybody wanna roll?? Gonna look for some fish in some areas I haven’t fished in a while. Let me know in the next 45 minutes

If I weren't stuck at work.

Hookn up the boat! Winds a blowin, Clouds are rollin in! Prolly gonna be some active fish today...

How did you do?

Just got back from Alaska or I would have jumped on that.

Saw a fella bank fishin and asked him how the bite was. He said he hadn’t had a bite in 2 hours. I told him to hop on board and let’s go catch some fish. He said is name was Vince and then jumped on board and away we went. Jacky Wiggins text me and told me where he had caught bait and fish that morning so that’s where we started. Bait was easy in 8ft. We started our first drift on a main lake point and boated 5 blues. I decided to move locations and go look for a better group. We scanned a couple of humps and another point but only marked dinks. Finally found a big group around the channel in 30 ft. We pulled 2 more drifts and hammered em! We ended up with 30 blues and Ol Vince said that was some of the best catfishin he had ever been a part of! You never know what to expect when you go Bluecatn!

That was really cool of you take a stranger out. Nice looking dog too

I enjoy taking new guys fishing. Have met a lot of good people and a few that weren’t worth a flip. I will fish with just about anyone once! Lol

Oh man, you’re gonna make me go back to L-ville again
Really nice mess of fish

I used to fish that area a lot. Glad to see it still holds 'em.

so, what do you do? Catch some fresh shad and then just let the wind push you ?

I think those little rain clouds yesterday got em thinking about making a move. The bait is just starting to migrate back up the lake. Need a little rain and cooler temps to get em to commit. We marked lots of fish on mid depth structure in the main lake. Next couple of weeks there will be lots of bait and fish changing their home zone areas out in the main lake and moving up the lake and getting ready to go shallow. You can usually find them pretty easy this time of year if you know where to look.

Sorry, reposted (fail)

Essentially that’s it. The act of drifting is quite simple but Bluecats move a ton and can be difficult to pattern when you first start out.. First you gotta find the right bait. Then you gotta find fish that are willing to bite. To locate them consistently you need a decent graph and a quite a bit of knowledge to figure out the patterns. Blues move a ton and can be in completely different areas from day to day. They are a lot like striper. You’ll need some drift socks to maintain the proper drift speed. All sounds simple enough until you try to go do it! I’ve spent many a trip floating around like an idiot. Lol. Bluecatn ain’t easy!

Thx, sounds like it takes some skill

Just get out there and pull some long drift over varying structure and depths and you’ll get it figured out. Hire you a guide who can show you the ropes and ramp you up. Feel free to PM me if you need some info.
