CATS!!!

[Geoff Davis]

Was out the day after (just a couple hours, actually) the thunderstorms rolled through southern ontario last week. Took the 2 hour drive from mississauga to a little creek that flows into Lake Erie. We figured we'd maybe get a Cat or carp, but when we got there, the water was up by about 5 feet, and looked like chocolate milk. This was the first time I took my buddy here, after telling how good it was for cats, so of course the conditions were gonna be tough, just to make me look bad...
So we waled the banks looking for a big bend with slower water. We found one, but the water, as mentioned, looked very unproductive. So I go ahead and wet a line with a bell sinker and a worm with garlic scent. Set the rod in a stick, and went to get a bevy from my bag. My buddy said, quite calmly I should add; "Uuuh, yer rod is starting to go...'. I thought it was just the current pulling my line. Then I looked. Saw my rod almost pull the stick over, grabbed and set the hook. Landed this beast about 5 mins later. No scale, but gonna guess in the 8-10lb range. The belly was HUGE, couldnt get my hand around her...

Anyway, hope you enjoy the pics, goin 2moro morning, if I get into anything, I'll post some more pics...

Nice Cat Geoff. I'm headed out in the morning looking for some Cats myself in Cootes Paradise. I haven't been out yet this year, but I think they will be in now. I usually get 2-4 lbers there, but have got them up to 12.

Nice catch!
I went hunting for an new spot around my parents' place this weekend but couldn't find anywhere decent.

ANYONE KNOW ANY GOODS CATFISHING SPOTS NEAR ORILLIA?

I'm itching to hook into one. It's been years.

Up near Orillia, I havent got a clue...

But I know what you mean, I hadn't nailed one in 15 years or so, then my cousin took me to his honey hole... Great, great fighters. Dont understand why more people dont fish for them...

Went out to the same place on sunday, we got into 4 cats, 2 Sheephead, 1 monster Carp, and a slew of nice size suckers... Pics soon...
