Windy as all get up but the water was low and clear. Went to first spot and on the way ran into a school of fish on the sonar so turned around and spider rigged through them, didn't get a bite. Finally caught a bass while pitching to the bank. Left there for a less windy spot but detoured for a try in another windy hole. While blown against the bank and fishing out, I hooked a super fish. He fought like heck for about 5 minutes on my jig pole and was finally tiring. I got him to the surface to see a catfish of around 15 pounds or so. He made one more run and was coming in when the line parted. Looks like he took the hook deep and the mono got roughed up on his lips and finally snapped. Wow, that was fun and exciting. We then left that spot to go to a place out of the wind. I dropped in my shiner and wham, sac on. Tried that again and wham, number 2 in the boat. Things slowed down after that but we did mange to get 7 more in the boat and missed a few. All in all, a great day. Lord we are thankful for it. More than enough for us and some to share.

Caught on shiners and tube jigs with shiners. Water has cooled off a lot since last week when it was 72. Now it's 57. Females full of eggs just waiting for the moon to be right in 2 weeks. I hope I'm ready too.
