Just curious what you are using for bait.  I use to do it a lot and may have some ideas for you.  Pm me if you want and I'll give you an idea or two if you'd like.

Just post it on here.  Hopefully, you will help more of those things get caught and bonked!

Well I had some ups and downs on my last week of fishing.  The high points were 19 and 23 fish days, I'm past 100 fish now, so I got a my first raise. Some low points were having my camp flooded, and having a brand new Shimano Claris rod/reel get pull overboard, presumably by a big catfish. A couple pics from last week.

Here's one more picture of a small fish I snagged, I need some help identifying it. I was thinking baby shad, but not sure.

That's a nice catfish  :tup:  I have a cousin that started doing that a couple years ago and he makes a pretty decent living, to bad we can't have the bounty here in Yakima, those things are a dime a dozen

I just spent 11 days on the river. Very successful trip. Caught another tagged fish, now getting consistant 20+ fish days, and making some money. On the Snake river now, and it has been HOT 106 degrees the other day, and about 7 days in a row over 100 degrees. I caught a nice walleye, the first of the trip. Starting to feel like I know what I'm doing, and anticipate numbers to keep increasing.

Seems like I always like to show the downside too... which included several cracks in the bow of the boat from tossing the anchor over and the current swinging it up. Leaking pretty good, but I can repair that tomarrow.

I replaced that Shimano I lost, only to break it in half yesterday. Wholesale Sports was happy to replace it at least.

Gas in truck and boat is taking its toll on profits.

This last trip was exceptional. My first day back the fish sure were biting good. I had a 101 fish day! Plus 47 fish day, and many 30+ days. I got my final payraise, $8 fish from here on out. The numbers and the money are adding up quick.

I have never seen so many thunderstorms either. Seemed like every other day. They were amazing to watch, but they cut into fishing time, and did significant road damage.

Yeah, that little fish you snagged looks like a shad to me.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.
