Finally got some time off.....3 day weekend. Picked up my essentials this morning......fishing license, worms and Little Debbie cakes. Got out on Lake Verret and it was pretty calm. The water didn't look so hot on the north end of the lake. I fished an hour without a bite. Moved south another 1/2 mile and finally caught a nice catfish... the biggest of the day. I had to answer the call so I found a nice clear smooth sand bar to ease the boat up to. :wink:

Moved on another 1/2 mile and started fishing around the trees farther out in the lake and caught another one. Another boat drifted by and I saw all three of the guys catch catfish even farther out. I paddled out another 20 yards, anchored and caught two more. By this time the wind was picking up and the lake was getting rough so I headed for home.

Morning's catch.

Floating high with rod, worms, tackle box, 3 lb anchor, 5-6 lbs of catfish, seat and hefty 2x4 seat riser......maybe drawing an inch.

I'll comment on the pros and cons of the boat in the Boat Bragging thread.
