Channel Catfish in the Snow??

[Random guy]

Fishing was so good I even caught one!

Thanks Dave for the pointers and putting me on fish.

Sounds like it has died off a bit in the last few days, to be expected with the colder temps I guess.

[Mr Special]

See how the cating slowly creeps into your brain. Next thing ya know, you'll be trading low pressure overcast days, casting $20+ baits. For a warm night, swatting misquotes, BSing, while waiting to hear that clicker scream.

I already caught heck from Dennis Steele for showing up with buckets all rigged up and having a tackle box that was to clean, he figured I was a "closet cat guy"

[Guest]

I dont think I have a tackle box anymore that doesnt have some type of permanant blood stains, fish scales, knife marks, and some type of ground in soil substance. If sitting indoors.. I could probably smell my tackle bag from a distance.

You know your catfishing a lot when every time you go to cabelas you end up with another pair of multi-tool/knife set ups that they always have by the counter.. $10/pair(buy one get one free) and the main reason you bought them is they have a very handy LED flashlight built in.

I shouldnt have said that.. most of you havent caught on to that yet and they will be gone when I get back there!

Where does this monkey come into play with this?

[Dennis Steele]

Crasher,

Having a "monkey" is when you get skunked repeatedly.

I have that monkey...I'm 0-3 so far this year. Last year was 0-2.

Today I'll get one!

[Mrkeb]

HaywardBound.... You aint the only one. I got it too! Been out 3 times now and nothing. Hang in there.

[Dennis Steele]

Got a skunk yesterday myself. I just hope that monkey hasn't come to visit.

WWG and myself hit the MN on what we thought was to be a successful trip and zipp'ed, zilch'ed, zero'ed.

Oh well. You know the saying. "Thats why its called fishing and not catching".

[HaywardBound]

A small one, but I finally got one. I did see a bunch caught down there today.

Thanks for the help.

[fishin_spooge]

Anyone gonna be down there on Monday? Morning or evening best bet?

I would say evening is going to be your best bet.

There was a crew of guys down there most of Saturday for a Get-Together and fishing was slow at best. I started fishing about 10am, "I Da Man" caught 2 right away, and then I fished 'til 6pm catching 2 or 3 small cats. Very Slow!

The river in the main channel is ripping pretty good and we think the cats have moved out of the slack water and are working the current edge right now. Should be lots of good food for them coming down the river now.

Hanson, where's my photo? I want to see how it turned out.

[Deitz Dittrich]

RW- you get a good one???

[Ralph Wiggum]

Not really. Bigger than the average for the day. It went 6-4. Just wanted to see the pic.

Dennis, how's that monkey?

[Guest]

The bite picked up after dark... everything will be happening at night before we know it.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Oh well, the daytime bite was kind of nice while it lasted!

[Guest]

The night bite wont be so bad after the temps come up a bit.. its just plain cold out there now at night. They are calling for some snow tonight. It wont stick, but I wont be out there to see it melt when it hits the ground with the 40 mph wind gust forcasted!

[I Da Man]

I have a photo to post...just can't figure out how to post it.....

[Big Cat Dad]

Go to this HSOforum and download your photo on Image Shack.

After you get the link to the image just copy the link and click on the Image instant UBB code below your post and paste the image. That should work.

[Random guy]

I Da Man, you can send me the pic if you want and I will post it or give me a call at the office and I can run you through the steps.

[Ralph Wiggum]

One from Saturday afternoon:

[Mrkeb]

Well, finally lost the monkey. Went 7 trips in different areas with out anything as was getting pretty desperate so me and the cousin braved it on Sunday... rain, wind, cold and all. It was all worth it though as i finally landed a channel cat. 4lber. Felt good to feel some weight on the end of the line for once.
