FISHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BITING, AND THANKS FOR NOT CUTTING
THIS DUMB DUMB DOWN L.O.L.-------HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE
WEEKEND---------BILL B.


No problem. The cats hunt by smell. It's either the high fat content, or
the salt and garlic, but they love, 'em. A lot of other fishermen show up
with hot dogs the day after they see me catch a few.... haha. Carp will
pick them up sometimes, too, but carp seem to want to chew and spit out the
bait a few times to taste it; corn is a better bait for them. (carp have a
sweet tooth)

I wish we had a bigger river. The Huron only runs 4-5 feet deep most places
nearby. The cats get a lot bigger on bigger rivers. We have channel cats,
too, but they don't seem to travel as far upriver. I moved this year, so I
may be able to get some channel cat photos this year. They run up the river
each night and return to the huge deep lake nearby. Channel cats are
beautiful fish, silvery with black speckles and graceful forked tails.

I'll make some new photos starting in about a month.
