After a fun Day One, I headed back out with Ray & Sue Nowak from Chicago. When I woke up at 5 am and heard the monsoon outside, I was worried. But the front moved through at daylight and it ended up being a beautiful day to fish.
We started out on crappie. That was kind of tough. We only caught 7 or 8... actually caught more bass than crappie, including a bragging-sized brown fish Ray stuck on a little black & chartruese slider. Big fun on 4# ultralight!
We started on catfish about 11:30. It was tough... but the Nowak's are hardcore musky anglers, so they're used to low numbers (Good thing  )
We only managed to stick six cats today... but fortunately two of them were real good fish... a 30 lber. and a 31.
The fish fought like demons today... on the two big ones Sue had to hold on for dear life!
The other four fish were decent... 10-15 lb. class.
So it was a pretty darn decent winter cat day in my book. Which means life is good and gettin' better every day!

Nice Brown. You need to show me where you are catching those.
