flatiator and fred ???

Thanks for the heads up Cactus Bob, thats about right,LOL, since the river is just now calmin down and clearin up! We were hopin for some low river fishin conditions for labor day ,but oh well!

Me and Fred are gonna givem heck this weekend,,Cactus Bob has supplied us with some good bait for the last few weekends and we are runnin low on bait now,,,so im hopin we can locate some good bait!!

Yall have a safe and happy holiday weekend and wish everybody the best fishin!

See Yall next week!!

well it is monday the third ............ how bout it flatiator , what did u guys catch ?????????? i fished a little while this morning ..... fishing along a 20 ft tall mud ledge in 60 ft water .....lots of something along that ledge , logs ,roots or something ............ i hung two good fish and both hung me up is the debris sticking outa that ledge.......... one was a goodun!!!!! i did catch 40 or so small skippies before i came in ...........

Cactus Bob, we had a pretty good weekend, we caught several but no bigguns,, i caught the biggest one at about 15 lbs with the smallest about 8 lbs,, friend of ours Garry had a dang good bite,, his pole slapped the water with fury and then popped back up before he had the chance to grab the rod,, I seen it happen and hollered at him to grab the rod,but it was too late , we mainly fished in 40 to 60 feet water above those 100+ feet holes,, we had a dang good time, lots of bites and action!

i heard that scott caught him a 30 lb blue today ......... he didn't have scales but he took some pics so "as he said , we can judge the weight ........... he was out lookin for skips as was i in greenville ......... he caught 2 skips at port gibson and i caught one skip at greenville .... he got a 30 and i got a 20 , we need to look for skips more often i guess....

Here is a pic of the blue cat, i didnt have scales with me so i guessed at the weight, but he was a goodun and the pic doesnt do him justice and he fought like hell !

Yea, buddy, thats a goodun for sure. Keep it up, you liable to catch a whopper one of these days. Thats pretty good for a fella that said he cant catch em on a rod and reel........LOL.

Thanks Mac, i guess i get to keep my user name after this catch, LOL

Good fish, Flat Tater. A good rule of thumb in guessing a fish's weight is to guess a little on the heavy side then add about 8 to 10 pounds. If no one is with you then you could add up to 15 pounds. I learned this from a famous catter up in the G'ville area. He swears he can guess the weight of any fish to within 20 pounds of so. Say's it's just something that comes "NATURAL" to him.

Nelacatman

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! i disrespect that remark !!!!!

Nela, after thoroughlly reviewing your mathematical equations on guessin the weight of a catfish and carefully consulting with the famous catfisherman from g'ville, I have calculated the weight of my catfish to be 48lbs and 15oz! Thanks for your helpful advice!

Flat Tater, I knew we could come up with a good guess on that fishes weight. 48 lbs 15 oz sounds about right to me. It appears as though I done pissed off the G'ville Catfish Guru by posting his famous formula for guessing a fishes weight but that's what he GETS for getting me kicked outta the Chat Room. (TWICE) But you know how the old fart gets when he get's in a "NATURAL" state of mind.

Natty state of mind, I love it. LMAO I say, weigh it any way you like. its a goodun any way you look at it. you guys crack me up...... Mac

well hell ......... scott done cot him two fish today that i have heard about .... a 6 and a 12 .......... no guessing this time , he got him some high dollar scales .......................i understand him and freddiepooh are gonna fish tonite too , when fred gets there this evening ..........
for later on , maybe next spring .... i found us a really nice spot to camp at a brand new boat ramp .... MAYERSVILLE,MS ..... REAL NICE POINT TO BANK FISH OFF OF TOO................. u can google earth mayersville,ms and the ramp is the big wide area right over the levee from the little town ....... u can see the point i am talking about , but the new ramp is not in the aerial..................

Coach didnt tell Yall I caught the 12 , while talkin to him on the phone!!

I got me some new scales last week (110lbs) and got slime on them the first trip,, wished I coulda bottomed them out ,but,,,LOL!

Mayersville sounds good to me, Im ready when Yall are!

I also built me some new rodholders last week,I got the idea from Coach and welded me some eyebolts to the sides of the pipe,,so they can hold my rods while runnin on the river, here are a few pics of them,, I will get some better pics and post them later,,,

man yea scott.............u a welding son of a gun .................that was a good idea .........

also ............... does anybody know the where abouts of evurt ..... surely he still isn't in texas surf fishing !!!!!!!!!

also ............. RADISH ........by any chance do u still have the issue of REDBOOK MAGAZINE that made us famous ???????????

no Bob i signed and sold my last copy for $2000.00. didn' i send you your share?

Bob who was born in 1957? you said to ask Judye.she is the one that gave me that date.

radish , what was the person's name that wrote the article that got us in redbook ...............that was who was born in '57............... lmao!!!

well scott and i made a fishing trip at port gibson sat..................... not too much to report ....... fish were not in the mood to excite us i don't guess........................we had a big time anyway!!!!!!!!!!

had my best day on the river in a long time Sunday. Landed a 31# and a 40#. i had the best fish on i think was the best fish i ever had on a rod. I got it to the boat two times but not in the boat. got around the ancor rope and broke off. The ancor was hung and i had to cut the rope so lost the fish and ancor.

Nice fishin there Radish, Sorry to hear of the double loss. Bait???? Skippies?
