In about 2 hours we caught; or should I say she caught 21 channels between 2# to 3# and 2 small flats at about 2 1/2# each. She kept me busy unhooking and re-baiting, I think I caught 4 but she had a blast. All were caught on Secret Seven Dip Bait. I am now a firm beliver and have ordered more, this stuff works. Sorry no pictures, didn't have our camera.

Nice... I love to do a little pole fishing for catfish. Park under a tree, open up my lounge chair and put it on the front deck and crack open a few cold ones. Have you ever tried live bream or mullet fillets for bait?
