Dan Thiem Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sorry team, about the goose eggs on the points board. I been tryin to lay into some channel cats latley. Operator error on the photo, plus not that big either. But this trip to Mankato on Saturday I hope Hanson and Kyle will be helping me out by putting a change to that. Tyler Holm told me I should be glad that the KOTC isn't run like the show The Weakest Link. I'd be voted off by now. LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveD Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey Dan - Don't sweat the early season scoring. There is a lot of cat season left and the best bite doesn't happen until late July into early September. We need to hook up for a St Croix trip. I'll start drifting for channel cats in about the middle of July and you come along - you can put a big channel on the board.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Thiem Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sounds good. I've never been on the St.Croix before. I'm looking fortward to it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveD Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey Ryan - We will definitely get you in the boat too, you are the Jedi Knight of St Croix channels. Wait until you see how I have the pontoon rigged out for drifting. I picked up a 77" drift sock for better boat control on the drifts. Once the shad schools start to appear the channel cats are not far away. Nothing like a good Twins game on the radio, a nice south drifting breeze, and channel cats hammering cut bait.

DTro Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey don't forget about me Just because I have a couple fish on the board doesn't mean I don't want to go to Have you got my emails Dan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thiem Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yep, I sure have. I will be getting in touch real soon. Thanks a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveD Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hey Darren - Consider yourself in the boat. Once the St Croix channel cat bite starts up we will have a Team Whisker Wrangler Night and all of us upgrade at once. That would be a blast. Be kind of cool to have ten rods out - we should catch something I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Thiem Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Finally! On the board with a channel. 28" X 15". Minesota River last night fishing with Dave Scott. We had no runs on bullies and we caught 4 channels on cut shad. Great time for sure. Nice seeing you again too Hanson. Did you notice my headlites?

DTro Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nice fish Dan! That will help our total for sure.We were downstream a few miles from you last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanderud Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nice one. We were downstream a couple miles from you last night, that would have put us a mile upstream from dtro I spose Very little action where we were. One fish that I didn't hook well enough, smallish flatty probably, about 1/2 way to the boat he jumped off. Oh well, still a fun night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksportsman Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Way to go, Dan! We're starting to fill in some of those 0's. I'm going to try to get a decent channel sometime this weekend.Anybody hear from AndreFishes lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTro Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Andrefishes, are you out there? Please respond with a "I'm still here" or "yep, still trying for a big one" or something of that sort. Just checking. If you are no longer interested in participating please let me know as there are alternates waiting in the wings.Just so I'm clear, catching fish is NOT mandated. But communication is appreciated.We are just about half way through this and I will be sending out these notices to any suspect participants on each team.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveD Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I upgraded my flathead today. It was only a 6 point upgrade but they all help I guess. It was a 37" X 23" St Croix flathead caught at 4:00am on a bullhead. I ended up the night with 1 small 25" channel and 2 flatheads - both small.

blacksportsman Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I finally have a channel cat worth submitting. 29.5" length x 15.5" girth for a points score of 45. Just getting it in under the 48 hour rule. Caught it around 3am Saturday morning. Not the greatest photo, but it should do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
