Channel Catfish in the Snow??

[Guest]

I no longer fear that monkey.. I will stick it on the hook and use it for bait.

I had a few months of that monkey after fishing with Kevin.

My cutbait supply is low.. I dare you to send that thing this way!

[DARK30]

Yikes! I think she used to hang around the Burnesville Bowl back in the early 80's

[I Da Man]

She got Dennis's phone number from that Mpls bar....

[HaywardBound]

That spot blows for fishing...Didn't catch a thing there, not even a bite on my line! My first time there and I even got yelled at! He he.

I'm kidding...I had a blast! Thanks to all that gave me some pointers, and it was great to meet other FM'ers...Oh, I owe you some minnows...thanks.

[PierBridge]

I live in Bloomington and was wondering where some good spots were for some cats are and how is the current flow.

[Mr Special]

I don't think they start hitting on the MN until late April-May. But you never know. The BlackDog Rd area is productive , especially around the outlets. You can drive up/down the Rd to any good looking spots.

"Hey Ralph, you smoking that thing or kissing it?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[I Da Man]

I think he was trying to get his cut bait back...cheap bass..

Yes, two things made me stop and go hmmmm down there lately...

Tyler saying that "I talk too much" (wait till he meets my daughter... HAH!

And

Are you Hanson?

I was left speachless by both comments...and that NEVER happens!

[Dennis Steele]

Not much for snow left yesterday, but I did have a great time seeing everyone down at the old Catfishin' Hole yesterday.

It felt good to feel the fight of a cat on the long rods.

And its always a good time fishing with a bunch of freinds.

Dave you deserve a big THANK YOU for being so unselfish and sharing your bite with everyone. Your a good dude!

Anyone make it down today? Sure was a nice day, bet the cats were climbing up that wall!

Here's few pics from yesterday.

My first open water cat of 2006!

Doubles with Dave!

I made it back down with Brian and Mr Special.. Mr Special had a good day.. Brian and myself.. well... we had a *day*. I think the fish *crawling* up the wall would be an overstatement for us. mplspug's crew was down and was having difficulty putting hooks into fish also other than one snagged carp. There was a couple people that showed up and were fishing furter down the shoreline that had a short lived, good run of fish.

A couple other guys showed up down there dragging fatheads behind a split shot and caught a nice smallmouth. Keep in mind for ANYONE out there.. we were fishing pool 1 and the season is closed on smallies and walleyes and they can not be targeted and it is illegal and frowned upon!

The fish seemed to be very scattered and not concentrated anywhere we cast our lines. The fish schools have moved... but they are out there somewhere. The weather this week is calling for much warmer temps, and some precipitation.. The water temps should climb and the fishing should get back into gear.

I have heard reports of some fish being caught in other areas of the river, and also the Minnesota river.. dont be afraid to wet a line just about anywhere right now! April is a good month and your wasting your time if you are just fishing 1 place.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Dennis and hanson-next time you are going to make the treck, give a brother a holler!.. lol I would like to learn from the group!

[fishin_spooge]

What do you guys use for hooks, I can't quite tell by the picture? I live like .2 miles from here and wouldn't mind checking it out. Thanks for any help or I would also be interested in wetting a line with other guys.

[Random guy]

Many of us where using 1/0 or 2/0 small wire circle hooks on different types of cut bait.
