Yep its a good time that nite fishing i agree- i like it a bit-i have been doing a little lately going for cats( not having a whole lota luck but still fun) Just catching a few small flatheads or channel cats.
It is how i caught my first gar while catfishing & tryed for another gar & got one after that also.
Found this one in the kitchen sink along with some dirty dishs
( the mate is also a very good fish cleaner
)
We been keeping a eye out for the water mocs/cotton mouths "down here" including at nite( dont know how nocturnal they are-we dont have much experence with them either)
