Catfish Tonight
 

A good morning. Dropped the jugs at 7:30 and by 9 had enough.
Between Myers and Hitler's.

Damn skippy !!!

What area are you fishing in ???

Hydro

Nice man. Lol at hitlers

Nice catch on the jugs...

Man that's some good eating

Sorry didn't get back on the computer after that. Had a full gut. :)
In the Lowery Area, by Myer's campground, Mermentau River

10-4, Thanks....

Another good day. Had 29

Nice

Tear em up!!

Nice cats...

how are you doing it. I go to a camp around the corner from there and we never catch them like that..

First of all, the wife sets the alarm for 4:30 am, then she gets me up and makes me a cup of Cappuccino and then she gets the ice ready from the freezer, while I go and hook up the boat. Then she loads up the ice chest with the ice, bait and snacks. Then we make sure everything is in the boat, then we drive to Lowery. First secret is to launch at Myers, because the old people at Garys are to hateful, mean and grouchy and the fish seems to know it and keeps away from the boat.(Inside joke because of I can't stand they ole A holes). After we launch at Myers, make sure you park trailer in designated area, then take off and go around first bend and have an experience MasterBaiter with you, who will bait the jug lines with Beef heart and start throwing jugs at random. When jugs stand up to attention, pick them up and put in ice chest. Start around 6:30 and yesterday by 9:00 had full ice chest and wife said no more. Then drive back to dock and dock boat and go to Johnny's in Gueydan and eat a good lunch and drive back to Lafayette and start cleaning them. Just joking.

I don't know what else to say other than, I use noodles set at 18-24 inches and have beef heart as bait using circle hooks. The noodles have 14 inch PVC pipe in the center of them, but the noodle itself is only about 8 inch long.

Where do you go at that is around the corner? Hope it isn't at Gary's Landing, because that might be a problem that you are having. Since most people don't like them, maybe the fish is also not wanting to go back to that pitful landing and have to listen to Hitler fuss at them.

funny

Thats an awesome post. Glad to see your catching. I usually put in at Gary's and run to the intracoastal and fish around there. Looks like I go too far for no reason when you catching them right at the launch! I love that area though, even if I don't catch any fish its awesome scenery.

You ever tried that canal that goes to Klondike?

Yea, we go between Myers and Hitlers and have enough. No I never fished the canal to Klondike. In fact I never went in to it.
I think I might of seen you'll in the ICY earlier this year. If you'll were in a boat loaded down(lol) with fishing buddies it was you'll. I passed going to Lake Misere and there were jug lines every where in the Icy.

That is no joke about "Hitler's" landing. Ole brawd stands there with her over achiever self and barks orders.

Oh yea, that Ole brawd is in a class of her own.

The next best thing for me is tomorrow when I go to and bring that fish to my uncle and his buddies. Like one told me, "It is kind of hard to refuse fish that is all clean, free and frozen in water in zip lock bags".

Yea it was probably me

She was doing the same thing 25 years ago when I hunted the Refuge some. If you parked too far from the vehicle next to you, she would make you park closer to make room for more vehicles to park.

I though she was old back then and would have "retired" by now.

No, she has not retired and her attitude hasn't gotten any better.

How many of you'll were able to catch some in Lowery today? I hadn't posted that I had caught 19 on last Saturday. I don't have pictures so I guess I didn't catch it.
Should be going back on Thursday. Hope you'll left me at least a pair

Nice cats.....The best catfishing I trip I ever had was to the local bar room. They were having a jugline rodeo, people were bringing in ice chest of catfish and no one wanted to clean them because they were all too drunk. I showed up with my iced chest loaded it up and went home and me and the wife cleaned them, we had 18 gallon ziploc bags of fillets. That was enough catfish to last us the year.

Someone left a few jugs in canal on our lease In between the 2 landings. I guess fish pulled them in to the grass and they did not see them. Some were noddles and some were just old jugs. Guess I'll have to try to catch afew while at lease next week.

None of them are mine. I was lucky and found all 20 of them.
Are you the one with the houseboat on the right cut going towards ole Hitlers?

Yes. The lease is ours but the boat belongs to a friend. These were the blueish colored noodles with the PVC pipe.

Those blue ones has been around there for awhile.
Do you dock at Myers or at the junky place?

All three. Gary's , Myers and sometime the free landing on east side of river. Just depends.
