Checked the Trot Line.

Checked the Trot Line this morning.  Had baited up with Shrimp and Hot Dogs this time.  Caught four Catfish we kept for dinner.  Also, caught and released three undersized Catfish and a White Bass.  And, did lose another Catfish while bring it in.  Fun stuff!

Checked the Trot Line....

Checked the trot line we set.  Caught four Catfish.  Two were small and were released; two were decent sized and were filleted!  Measured 19" in size.  Baited with Shrimp and Hot Dogs; looked like the fish preferred the Shrimp.  Also, noticed some new additions to the fence where some "Bruisers" were posted. Looks like someone has been getting some big ones!

More Than One This Round

Set two Trot Lines out last night.  Had only caught one Catfish last round.  This time caught five Catfish - three we kept for Dinner and two that we released because they were too small.  Used Shrimp and Chicken Livers for bait.  The Shrimp seemed to work better than the Chicken Livers.  Better to have gone with Shad for bait but had a tough time catching them in our cast net.  After picking up the Trot Lines, did a little Jug Lining; had a hit or two but no hookups.  Oh well, have enough fillets for Dinner.  Courtesy of the largest of the three Catfish we caught; measured 22" in length!
