Cool Hot Fun In The Summertime

Here is a link to a video clip of some off species fish I caught in the Little Wabash River North of Effingham.

Nice mess of fish. I always enjoy fishing small streams. Usually you have the water all to yourself.

Thats a nice mess of cats. Guys are catching them by the boat loads in Rend. They are bitting like crazy. This is probably one of the better years for catchin cats at Rend.

Right now, catfish seem to be easier to catch than crappie. Even when I am just targeting crappie, I am often catching channels. I am a go with the flow guy, if the crappie are not biting and the channels are, I become a cat man.
