Had a chance to sneak out yesterday and do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Fish for blues when there are up in the dirt Had a 1/2 day trip with Chad Ferguson Even with the wind we went out and targeted blues in less than 2’ of water Crazy seeing the fish splash when they hit the bait Cut Shad on a short leader santee rig on basically nothing but mud flats Caught 33 eater sized fish ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-9268-135018-b4a14456_8ecb_43a7_bbf2_d99c97632fd3.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-9268-135019-ce2c49ca_c840_4280_921e_5123ac0f2eba.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/04/full-9268-135021-76914743_7775_4755_a34b_b9bcbc76a6b9.jpeg)

FishKiller... very nice fish
Rickt300 Be very careful headed north. Had some section 3' to 6"
Very nice double decker pontoon ran wide open to get stuck.
Also be careful full at the boat ramp up there.
Walk it so you know where the holes are it, they will eat your axle
On the trailer.

I want to head out there, but I'm just not fighting this kind of wind.

My home lake is just under 5 feet low, amazing how many places I usually fish are bare gravel and rock. 3 feet low means Eagle mountain boat ramps are getting sketchy. I normally launch at Augies and fish EM later in the year.

Chad is definitely one of the best catfish anglers in Texas. I bet you learned a few things Chris.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

JP, Coon, and I need to get together and do a trip! Even with the sized boat Chad has I'm not sure it could handle all the BS that would go on....
