Beautiful evening and great fishing partner but lousy fishing. Went to a very small private pond last night where we have caught channel cats before, but not tonight. The owner Chris was a good host, but we just couldn’t get hooked up on anything. Tried bottom rigs and suspended rigs with cut up chicken and cut up tilapia. Derrick caught a few bluegill and that was all. Spent about 3 hours out there. The conversation was good and so were the sugar free chocolate cookies. So as fisherman always do, we will certainly go back and try again. Presented Derrick with a new medium heavy Shakespeare cat rod and reel. Great to see the look on his face.
