My first time to chick I went to the dam,D/F lit up thought I was seeing whales. First minner in the water and I have a very large cat on my line. Now I stay away form the dam. Great pic and nice to know its still given them up.

Nice meeting you yesterday. I watched alot of guys at the dam catching cats on minnows but I ended up with 15 keepers
there on jigs. Didnt think I had that many till I got home. But like you said it was slower than it has been. Good luck on your
costa del mar search , the green 580 lens are the best for fresh water sight fishing I have the blue 400 lens and I like them
more for offshore. See ya on the water!
