Bartlett 10/18
« on: October 18, 2014, 08:02 PM »
Launched at Yellow Cliffs at 7, and headed up into the river past ship rock. Fished up there working back down to the island until 11:30 netting a bunch of bass and catfish. We were spider rigged with minnows fishing low and slow. We mostly fished deep on the bottom, but did hit some of the brush north of the island before heading into Cat Bay. Found some trees there loaded with crappie and pulled out 9, 8 of which were keepers and came home to the fryer. Most of the fish were 12 inch clones, but we got a couple of decent ones. Ran out of minnows at 1:30, and left them biting. Keep in mind this was my wife's first trip actually fishing on this boat since I got it last summer.

Yea it is still pretty full. The trees and brush north of the island are just starting to come out of the water.

Good deal, we didn't so so well but saw you by ship rock.
Figured that was you heading up. We tried like hell to find them on the bottom for most of the morning. We just got lucky heading over to a waypoint I had from last winter at the end of the day.
