Last night I went out for what may be my final catfishing night of the year, who knows maybe I'll go one more time later this month but for now I'm looking to start targeting other species again. Had 2 poles going, one I alternated between either crawlers or stinky chicken livers, the other I was using cut bait with some little guys I caught earlier (yellow perch, bluegill).

All in all I landed 7 bullheads, although 5 were little and only 2 were what I would consider "keeper" size. The cut bait pole yielded the 2 biggest catches, all the little guys were caught on the crawlers. The chicken livers got nothing more than a single bite, but I have had success in the past at other locations with them. Fished from about an hour before sunset until 10 or so, Whalom has a easy accessible setup for night fishing from shore. The biggest flurry of action came right around twilight but before it was completely dark.

Was sitting home bored on a Thursday evening so spontaneously just jumped in the car a cruised up route 2 to fish at Lake Mattawa for the first time. Didn't have much luck until the sun began going down, but then landed 3 bass before it began raining. 2 were small, but one was pretty nice and can be seen in my profile pic. Caught them with a silver swimbait.
