zooker · 08-05-07, 10:53 AM

i was WAY up the yadkin river -near hwy 601- was working a currant area with a good brush pile right on the channel drop.was using a 3/4oz fat free -it's on a diet

-shad. i caught a feisty foot ball shaped bass out of there... couple cast later i hang a decent fish 12 feet down other side of the brush pile.

after a brief tug of war in the brush pile he came at the boat hit the currant and peeled drag big time. 5 mintues later fighting the currant up comes a channel cat.. who fought like he was twice his size which was 6 pounds..

it was so humid the digital camera would not work.i had to go home and set the camera in the a/c just to get it to work..

those channel cats fight pretty good. They are actually fun to catch. We have a bunch of catfish, and big ones down on this side of the Yadkin River...The Pee Dee river.

when i run up the yadkin it is 15-18 miles from the southmount launch.. a gps is a must since the flat between the power station and I-85 is lil more than 18 inches deep right now-i run it on plane-i caught 5 largemouth today not huge fish but very aggessive fighters..heavy t-rigging makes up some of my river tackle 1/2oz bullet nosed rigged 10" black red flake or blueberry worms.. while the river looks low and sluggish on the top the under currant is moving at a pretty good clip..

it was clear today btw..

Dang, looks just like the Pee Dee down here. I'm sure you could learn me a ton. I wish i could get in the same boat some time.

Could learn me a ton? I'm a tad bit confused on that statement? Maybe the word you were looking for was 'teach?' Haha
