Larry FlatCaster Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Rob,Got a pass you a tip of the hat, pat on the back, and a big thanks.First one being, that Rod (the Quantum big Cat) that you did a repair on for me.... well I finally caught some fish on it last night... It worked like a charm. Oh yea I paired it up with my new 7000 this june.Second: and even better..... I finally bagged some fish on the cat bobber after 3 years of off and on trying. Even with you showing me how you fish it earlier this year. I've finally been getting some hits on it lately (which I must say is pretty cool to see) and finally connected with 3 fish in one night on it.For those that have not had the chance to see one in action... well... the best I can describe.... Jaws. when the shark gets tagged by a barrel and starts smoking away pulling it faster and faster and then blub... down it goes.. Ha Ha...Made my season last night! Even though I had quite the scare when a monster channel smashed a huge sucker, pulled the rod so hard that the rod holder folded down and the rod was getting pulled into the water. Thanks to my Cat like reflexes I got it at the last second before it went all the way in.Thanks Mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisker Warrior Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Cat bobber??? Sounds interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah Rob was one of the first people I know to start using the Bobber effectively for Flatheads. They are a prized possession too that might make a guy desperate enough to strip down his boxers and save one from a snag I still haven't caught my first one, but haven't tried a whole lot either. I bet it's a blast. Maybe it just takes a bit of confidence catching some big Channels on those bobbers to give them more of a chance. Good Job, Larry, nice to hear you found some fish!

Larry FlatCaster Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'll see if I can't get something up here a little later today. Unless Rob want to take point. Channels or Flats... The channel caught me off guard...All depends on the baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanderud Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I ordered up a few different bobbers from a well known HSOforum the other day, I'm going to try them up north next weekend. They seem to come in lots of shapes and sizes. I got one that will hold up to a 5 ounce weight, one that says it can take up to 3 ounces, and a couple others that didn't specify but should be somewhere in the 3 ounce range I'm guessing. I would think that any time I need 5 ounces to get near the bottom, I'm probably not going to be bobber fishing. But, who knows there might be a time.

cjac Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 This is exactly why a muskie guy like me likes to rub shoulders with you cattin' guys every once in a while. Y'all help each other out and are FLAT-out good guys.....pun intended! Read a post in the muskie forum about "Water Ethics" and you'll see what I mean. Y'all are a little goofy at times with Jell-O flavoring ideas and such....but good guys! Nice to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shack Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ya I would say Rushing's bobber catches (Kyle B I thought also) got me to buy some stock in those beer can sized bobbers back in 07 Got some cannon ball sized ones also Gave them a run down a couple times in larger eddies on Pool 2 with out any luck. I think it was the operator more than the presentation though I am a believer and great to hear you got to see a bobber go down LFC! I agree Cjac!

MinnesnowtaWild Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I tried bobber fishing once with a sucker minnow on the Blue Earth River and caught a decent Channel. I just casted right into a big eddy that was up near shore and to my surprise it worked.So many different ways to catch Cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
