Evil Elvis Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went catfish fishing at a lake called Jimmies today. Havent been for 2 years, fishing with my mates grumpy and fatnorthernbastid. We got there are 06.30 and had caught zilch by 14.30, then i noticed that there were some cats in Grumpy's swim stirring up the bottom, i asked him if i could float fish a worm there, he said go for it, it was around 6 foot deep. i waited for an hour without a sniff but they were all around the float...hmmmm....so i tried something differrent, i set up a small pike bung and hung a huge ball of worms at 18" deep. Flicked it out and whallop....one took it instantly!!! A fiesty 14lber. i unhooked it and put it back, looked out and they were still "having it" so i cast out the float again a plop...straight under again, but on the strike i hit the tree above me, not setting the hook properly, the fish went off on a surging run down the lake only to pull the hook!! Out it went again and i had a very slow deliberate take that dropped it before i struck, I recast and plop its off again , resulting in this nice 23.5lb cat. i let the fatnoirthernbastid have the next take but he fluffed it and that was the last chance...crazy half hour.
