Catfish Chute
Wednesday, August 06th, 2008 | Author: admin
Wednesday afternoon I sneaked off to the Catfish Chute and got started about 4 P.M. It was still hot and when I was not in the shade the perspiration was pouring off. Caught two right off the bat in one spot and then could not buy a fish. Had some bites and hooked a few but could not catch one even with a trailer hook on my Booyah spinnerbait. Finally, exasperated, I returned to the place I caught the first ones and again, they hit the Booyah but would not stick. They liked the Zoom U tail vibe worm that I showed them next. The fish were biting faster than the microscopic mosquitoes, almost on every cast. Ended up with 18, the largest of which was 2 1/2. While I was fishing there I heard a trickle. There were springs coming out of the bank. No wonder the fish were there. They quit biting a little before dark and I was almost glad because the mosquito onslaught had intensified. No pictures today. To busy slapping mosquitoes.
Sounds like a good trip. I thought I was the only one addicted enough to fish in this heat!
