STARTED AFTER 10, HAD LIMIT BY 1:00 P.M., lost 3 pigs, but, ended up with ten good eaters. Nice to be out on lake today , No wind until noon, and cloudy until 1:00 p.m. SEEN VERY FEW FISHERMAN TODAY, MAINLY PLEASURE BOATERS, Tried filleting the channel cat this afternoon like I was told yesterday, for the Blues.

Your may also want to try clipping the gills on them while in the livewel about 10 or 15 min before you clean them. Or on a stringer in the lake for 5 or 10 minutes then to a cooler of ice. You end up with nice white fillets on the blues. Not sure on channels but on blues you can notch up a little farther closer to the head and get the last chunk of meat above the ribs.
