| Needed the net for this one! |
I decided to come back to Lake Sherwood after a great day of fishing yesterday (even with the heat). A front moved through, so it was cooler than yesterday by a little, with more overcast than sunny skies. This time I launched at the dam and fished the first cove by the lakes largest (and only) island. I figured I would leave the bottom rig at home and just go for bass, so I had (1) spinning rod and (2) bait caster rods on the kayak. |
| Two Nice Lake Sherwood Channel Cats |
Tried a lot of different things....started with yesterdays "go to" the red jelly worm with no success. I brought a tin of Berkly Gulp Alive worms, 7" watermelon and started to cast those. I caught one very small bass, but did not set the hook hard enough to get into the boat. About an hour into fishing the shore lines I got a mighty hit. This happened the minute the worm went about 6" into the water by a log. This was the first and largest channel catfish. I am glad I had my net in the kayak...this was the first time I have had to use it on a fish. The water temperature is so warm right now, it really does not surprise me that they are hitting like this. I have caught many a catfish in the spring on rooster tails fishing for other species. I continued around the cove and about 40 min later, caught the second catfish, in the same manner. I am really glad I came back for round two on Sunday!
fish ON!

Very nice. The heavy scent action on some of the Gulp products attracts everything from fish to crawdads. Way to go man.
