11-22 Update I netted some Shad at the Public Landing at 08:30. I got a good 3 dozen nice size shad so had plenty of fresh bait. I went back to the ramp at 10:45 to meet Joe. There was a very strong wind blowing up river, so we headed straight for Hooters. I got the boat above and towards the inside so the barge would block some of the wind. At 11:55 Joe hooked into a decent Channel cat. It was 22 inches and 4.5 pounds. Joe said he got it on his favorite bait, the big red smokies. Stayed there till around 13:30 started checking out spots below there.
No fish at the L&N bridge piers. Dropped anchor just above the BB river boat docks. Joe had a bite but missed it around 14:00. Joe did hook another Channel cat at 14:15. This one was a little bigger. This fish came in at 5 pounds and 24 inches. Once again the Smokie did the trick for Joe. I never even got a tap on the Shad or beef liver. I even tried the Smokie without any action. We called it a day and crossed over to the ramp at 15:15. Good thing the temperature was so warm for the wind was really blowing white caps all the time. I just do NOT understand why the fish did not even touch the Shad. That is why we have back up baits to put on our hooks.
I am putting the boat up for the year. I may fish from the bank if there are some warm days the rest of November.
