Default Halloween Report

Today the wind was nice and light out of the south but it still played into today's fishing. We set the hook on an incoming tide that produced many double hook ups. Lots and lots of eater sized cats till the incoming died at around 1 pm. On turn around we caught a brown cat and channel cat. Then we got covered up by dinks and few more eaters. Then this nice cat.

Hoping for a bigger one we moved shallow and caught another one like the one in the picture. As the outgoing died we caught a bullhead and a channel cat before heading in. Could have filled a cooler today if they kept.

Really nice to have calm conditions. Still had to use drift sock twice to keep boat straight on hook.

So what happens when the incoming tides ends? And, I've never heard of a brown cat. Can you tell me about them?

We call it "turn around" as the boat slowly changes position 180 degrees. With 10 lines out you need to keep adjusting and remove 4 lines so they do not get tangled. The minute the tide starts again you deploy a drift sock or bucket to help swing the boat back around. A lot of big fish are caught on "turn around" but not on this trip.
Brown is a type of bull head cat. It has modeling and a cool pattern.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info Mike. I'm starting to think the catfish family has more sub species than any other family of fish.
