RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! - Me, Alex, Sas and a YELLOW CAT!!!

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!
Central Texas is getting WET!
We need the rain but, it slows down the early morning fishing and puts Sas in a very bad mood.  Now all she does is sit around and read books about fishing!   

Its not raining to much yet but, my daughter Alex and I, will be ready if it gets out of control!
This is NOT typical gear you have to wear if you go out fishing with us.

This was the last fish we caught before the big rain came in this morning! 
This is a 2lb -VERY YELLOW Catfish. 
I have never seen one this yellow - so we released it. 
We caught 10 keepers, for about 16 lbs., in 15 feet of water, on Rick's Super Secret Stink Bait.

Marching into Lots-O-Fish!!! And .............. Possible Sniffer Problems...

As you can see, Rick is on a Mission to catch fish - he has that look that says -
"IF YOU ARE OUT THERE - WE WILL FIND YOU!"

Well, we found fish - including this 12 pound Buffalo Carp.  YOU may think that this is an ugly fish - but, this fish was BEAUTIFUL to Rick!   

If you have ever caught a carp - you know that they are notorious for slipping off the line at the last second.  After he gave this one a good-bye kiss he set her free.  This time of year they are looking to lay eggs and this one was no exception - she was very fat.

The only one not too impressed with the Carp catch was Sassy. 
She was concerned that her Catfish Sniffer was off a little.  I reminded her that in February she lead us to 228 catfish keepers at over 441 pounds! 
After that it was lights out... we caught 26 Keepers - in a new spot!
Cats are deep near the Ridgewood marina - we are fishing with cut shad, at about 18 feet!
