Catfish Chute
Monday, March 15th, 2010 | Author: admin
The Catfish Chute got another visit Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. . I thought it was going to be my last fishing trip for a good many days. The fish started out nailing the Booyah spinnerbait, shallow, just like the last trip. Between 4 and dark (6:30), I caught 13 with a FOD of 4 – 5. There were three more over 3 pounds. The turkeys did not cooperate all day Saturday or Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon it was windy and cloudy, not a very good turkey day, so after a short nap it was back to the Chute. Between 1:30 and dark (7:30 due to time change) I caught 20 bass and 2 crappie. The bass were caught again on the Booyah but when I would get a bite and miss, a swim jig would be my followup bait. It worked well. The FOD was again 4 – 5 and I had another 4 and two more over 3. The river is forecast to come up 17 feet which will put it in the Chute again. It has been flushed out several times already this year and it seems to have helped the fishing.
