Masin said:Just got back. We fished boat c from about 10:30 to 5:00. One of the slowest days I can remember. There were a bunch of people and a handful of bites between them. Hope it picks up.

I went to one of the lake arms that I thought might have some cats poking around this time of year and fished nightcrawlers and chicken livers at a few different spots, including well up the lake arm where I had the place to myself. No catfish landed, but during the ~1.5 hr I fished nightcrawlers, I did land 4 trout! 3 of them were 12-13 inchers to boot. At one point I did miss a really big set of hits on the rod as I had walked away briefly...who knows, maybe it was a fatty catfish! No love on the chicken livers.
It was really nice out, and the water in the lake (at least in the arm I fished) was the clearest I've seen since whenever it started raining every day...December?
bass said:Summer was the best: a hot North Carolina night, an ice cold beer and the stench of chicken livers in the air. I miss that for sure!
bubs said:Well bass, from your sturgeon reports, sounds like you found a decent alternative: ice cold river water, and the stench of herring in the air!
