Bank fishing for cats! 9/14/2006

[shsimons]

Hey guys,

Tonight I caught a couple of blue cats fishing up by the wall on the upper side of the dam. I was fishing with skipjack fillets. I quit after all the debris washed into the spot I was trying to fish. I did not take a net down to the spot with me, or my camera, figured I wouldn't catch anything. I was just enjoying the cool evening air. Well, I caught a blue about 30 inches long that was really nice. I didn't want to leave it sitting out of the water to go get my camera, so I released the ONE EYED BLUE. Thought I'd mention that after the recent conversation about the nuke plant cats. After putting the nice blue back, I got the camera and caught a small blue after that. Tried to take a picture of that. It's not much for a pic, but my first blue cats caught from the bank! It was a fun hour or so of fishing. So many blue cats down here, so little time! What a great city Chattanooga is, I am just loving it.

Good job Sam, glad you are enjoying the city and the Fishing Forum. Holler sometime if you want to go fishing up by the nuke plant. We usually always have a seat open. I think I am gonna try Dhaun's spam this Saturday morning!!emoWorthy

Good job Sam. I gotta get me some of them skipjack. FF the Spam really works but bring plenty 'cause it doesn't stay on very well.

Hey Cheez,
I am going to bring plenty but I was wondering if any of you all have used the "Treat" kind that they sell at Big Lots. It is cheap as heck, just wondering if it works as well.

Great job Sam, I think we saw you on the bank yesterday afternoon. We were in the pontoon boat out from the floodgates.

emoThumbsup I must strongly agree.emoThumbsup I have been making my living traveling and staying all over this country and the Chattanooga area including NW GA and NE AL is the best all around place to live. The people are the best in the world, the weather is good and the fishing, well the fishing speaks for itself. What more could anyone want?
