Lets just say WINDY and COLD. Weathermans wind gause.is bad wrong. Said 5 to 10 n was closer to 12-15 with 20 mph gusts. Couldnt fusf.welfare hole so we finally found a side channel off the river with deep water but the wi.d found us anyway. Was on the water for 4 hours n only fished for 45 minutes due to looking for deep water out of the wind
I caught one catfish around Rose's Bluff... That is it.... Fished about 4 hours. It was nice to finally be back on the water. I experimented with long lines. Can't wait to get out and try it again...

At least you two got out and tried. WTG
Y'all got bigger ones than me. Probably not after being in that cold wind. LOL Like Major said, at least y'all tried.
Why are you looking for deep water? Most of the limits getting caught up here are less than 10ft deep.
I went but not RB. Crossed the river at Natchez and fished Old River. Watched the natives load up, I did 1 better than last week. One nice slab, another keeper and one border line. Saw an ole boy that was in the MCC said he was picking up some nice 2 pounders, didn't witness any. Wind was not bad for a change. Got a hold of a river monster that put a permenant kink in one of my rods. Never turned him. Tried a little long linning, got a few bumps, no cigar. Next time.
I lived in Natchez for a few years, fished those old river lakes with one pole and one minnow under a cork and caught some very nice crappie.
That wind is a real show stopper...atleast for me it is.:rolleyes: What's worse is those weathermen actually get PAID to make all those misleading weather reports.:( Better luck next time.:o
Good thing yall post-poned the FJ
At least y'all got to fish this weekend, Im stuck at work watching frost melt so I can send a crew out to rake bunkers for 20 Japanese guys who want to play golf. HOW can playing golf in 24 degree weather be fun?????
Oh well Im off next weekend and Im coming home to see friends and family and hit the rez
Major that's the way the natives do it! Not opposed to a cork in fact I will use a cork and jig and push at times. Especially productive when they are just soft mouthing it. They will come up and hold it, cork lays over, ch ching. Caught my biggest that way. Natchez is a mecca for fishing. Most those ole boys are tight lipped about their fishing holes. Can't really blame em.
I had a great time fishing around Natchez, had a 14' jon with 6hp & clamp-on Minn Kota, not fancy but caught a lot of big crappie with it.
