Took Dan and his crew of boys out this morning. It was a cloudy calm morning and the channel cat were hitting good. Fished in flooded grass/trees/reeds and the action was great. It was all I could do to keep those boys poles in the water. I undid more hang ups and line tangles than I have in a really long time. It was a blast watching those boys haul in the fish. After the bite slowed at 10:30 or so we decided to give the sand bass a try. Started out trolling the HP to keep their interest and some breeze blowing. Caught a few and then the fish decided to surface in 38 ft of water eating shad fry about a half inch long or shorter. All in all the boys kept 20 channels and 13 sand bass for a friendly fish fry. The picture only has 19 channels because Hayden let one flop off the dock! Water temp was 80-86 and a definite thermocline at 32ft. Great day on the water with great customers!

Sounds like a fun day. Sounds like the sandbass are getting tough. Sounds like it maybe time for me to go to Montana and to do some fly fishing, I know it will be cooler.

Johnny, I'm heading south to the coast to do some fly fishing. Going to try to get a kingfish or a bull red on a fly. Hope you can get cooled off.

Looks like happy boys Lance. Nice work.

Great Job!

Lance,

Good job, looks like the "new: boat catches fish just like the old one
