Late June Smallies and Cats

[NorthJerzyG]

Late report but I hit the shed last weekend, Saturday. Forcast called for possible storms but I was still SHOCKED when we got to the ramp and we're the only boat there!!! Luckily the storms held off and we found some action!! All Smallies 17-19 inches and all very energetic!!!! Surprised we couldn't luck into a walleye or 2?!?!

Monday night the wife was working late so I did a local river trip. Chucked lures for Pike till 8:30 and came up empty. Luckily I brought the livers!! Hooked a dozen or so mini mud cats until dark set in, then, a few channels!! Nothing huge, biggest went about 20", but a blast on 10# test.

Best part was the Swarm of bugs that wouldn't come within a foot of me due to a heavy coating of bug spray. Looked like a star wars scene in the pics, LOL........ Good times!!

Great job, as usual!

What kind of repellent do you use? I'm not sure I have enough blood in my body to satisfy the huge seams on the river this year!

Eddie, feel free to shoot me a PM, text me, hell, call me at work and let me know when your chsasing cats again in the near future!!!

Jdtuna, I'm using regular Cutter, and LOTS of it, lol. Seems to do the trick though.......
