Sounds like we have a nice little summer party! If you plan on "falling" in, maybe I should bring the video camera

You do know how to get back into one of those things, don't you?

Did you guys have any luck?

No, it is a sad sad story. Chalk one more up for the slimies. I am beginning to wonder if their "Grass carp" problem isn't a "Catfish" problem. After we chummed out there the only thing you see is catfish; and then maybe the occasional carp. Then on the RARE occasion you might get a glimps of a scittish grassie if you are lucky [:@][:@][:@].

Oh well we will try again another day!

P.S.
I was watching Christine........she didn't fall in.......I was waitin for it!

I got really crispy. Was a tad bit warm to be out in the middle of lake staring at catfish. Lots and lots of catfish.

I did get a couple of shots at grassies. One was too far and the other spooked right as I shot.Had several swim up next to the canoe while I was sitting there. One surfaced right next to the canoe. I almost swung my paddle at it.

It was windy enough that if I stood up I became a human sail and the canoe took off for the dam. [&o] Guess I need to lose some weight and catch a little less air. [&:]

If you'd put some fish in the boat, it wouldn't blow around so easily.

Sunset Lake catfish.



Yet another..


Picture taken with my spiffy new underwater camera. Sunset lake catfish look funny.


(I swear that last photo was indeed taken in Mclean County, IL)

I can tell you that I was there when she took those photos. They are all from McLean Co.
The guy who owns the fish on the bottom was looking a little nervous after he saw our Illinos bowfishers shirts and how intently we were watching his shar....er...."catfish".

Shark meat is good I hear. Who wants to find out?

Hey, would it be okay to bring a rod and help them folks thin out their catfish population a little? I'd love to catch a couple of them on my fly-rod. Well, maybe a few of them...
