rtspring · « **Reply #11 on:** May 01, 2012, 06:21:40 PM »

These are Channel Cats, average about 5 lbs, its hit and miss right now with the water all screwed up.

What is the air and vanilla extract all about?

Tastes much better if you dip them in buttermilk, corn meal, and into the fryer!

I fish out there from the boat often. With the water doing is deal right now, its kinda iffy on catching. Once it clears back up, I have found a few holes that I sit over in the boat. Let me know whenever you want to go and I can pick you up from shore. I put in right by the house on the pasco side of the river and have a 1 minutes boat ride to where you are sitting on the bank...

Sounds like fun, I wish I lived closer.

asmith · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2012, 03:58:35 AM »

Too bad I have to work this weekend or I would head down there. I have been looking for some places around here to get after the cats again. For bait, I have always used clams or mussels. Just go down to your local grocery store and ask for the day old ones that they cant sell anymore. Works awesome, and chicken livers too. Good luck, let us know how you do.

What is the average size of the cats you are catching?

Machias · « **Reply #22 on:** May 05, 2012, 09:38:20 AM »

He mentioned 5 lbs. I'm up for a trip down there once or twice this month. I'll send you a PM and see if we can figure out a day. Thanks for the offer!

rtspring · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:07:55 PM »

Gonna head out there tonight about 7 30 , I have been sick as hell but need to get out of the damn house. Feeling a little better.

Machias, sounds good send me a pm and we can come up with a date and time....

I love cat fishing. I use to cat fish in Lake Tapps years ago, but the property is all bought now. They would lower the lake in the winter and I would make a big bonfire in the middle of the night and cat fish. I live in western washington and all the good spots are all gone. You are lucky that you can do that. Good Luck!

rtspring · « **Reply #25 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:07:18 PM »

Im out fishing now if anyone wants to join me. Pm me illgive directions, right around bateman island

buckhorn2 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 06, 2012, 08:55:24 PM »

doyourtime89 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 07, 2012, 07:20:25 AM »

How did you end up doing last night?

rtspring · « **Reply #28 on:** May 07, 2012, 11:26:53 AM »

read my psot about SKUNKS! you will find out all you need to know.....

RTSPRING

The water really needs to shape up from the snow melt off, Next few weeks it should really start to pick up....

Gobble Doc · « **Reply #29 on:** May 07, 2012, 08:51:47 PM »

RT, I tried to send you a PM but your box was full. I grew up in Richland in the 70's and 80's and used to fish cats at night. Thought we could compare notes. Back then it was easier to get down to the Yak.

rtspring · « **Reply #30 on:** May 08, 2012, 09:00:47 AM »

I have cleaned out my inbox. sorry for the hassle for those that tried to message me...

hunt_fish · « **Reply #31 on:** May 09, 2012, 07:56:16 AM »

I'd be down to do some catfishing. I still haven't fished over there at Bateman's yet. I'd be open to do it the weekend after this one if you're going then.

Gobble Doc · « **Reply #32 on:** May 09, 2012, 12:54:45 PM »

One time I tried to walk out on Bateman on a warm summer night and I've never seen so many mosquitos. It was brutal. I didn't even stop walking just to stay alive.

BLUEBULLS · « **Reply #33 on:** May 09, 2012, 03:04:50 PM »

watch out for the huge, dead, bloated pig with no head that floated up against the bank out by the point.... it's nasty!
