June 22, 2016 Sun 7PM-11PM-cat fishing by myself
Where: Mississippi R. pool 7
Weather: (2053) SE9, cloudy with storms in vicinity, 75 °
H2O: 7.19↓, 57 kcfs, main channel and sloughs dirty, ?°
Caught: bait: 9 bluegills 5-7”, 2 flat heads 2 & 8 Lbs.
Observations: The rice is very thick this year and has spread to new areas on the lake. The rice plants are also starting to stand out of the water. The mosquitoes are just horrendous and can make for a miserable night if you are not prepared for them.
The night started out with the task of catching bait. It was not easy, but one of the man made islands held just enough active bluegills to satisfy my needs.
I fished two spots tonight on my favorite side channel off of the main channel. I quickly caught a fish at each spot, and that was the extent of the action. When the big fish bit, it hit so ferociously that the pole hitting the inside of the rod holder sounded like a baseball hitting the side of the boat.
