Alabama River Rainout

Today I was cut short due to Mother Nature. I would have stayed a while but the lightning was pretty bad.

Blue Cat from Prairie Creek on Alabama River

We were fishing near the dam when we landed this Blue Cat. We missed another one that was around the same size.

Lee's doing more handfeeding

Lee has now started using up good bait by fattening up our cats with additional servings. The fish seem to enjoy this as much as he does.

Jonathan's Bass from the Green Light on Lake Martin

Jonathan caught this Bass fishing over a green light at Lake Martin about 10pm on July 5th. He ended up catching 3 at that hole.

More Alabama River Cats

July 1, 2008, Lee Harmon did not make any new friends today. There was no fish feeding going on, just fish gutting and cleaning. The water was getting pulled hard again. We caught these 8 on minnows (3), Beef Liver (4), and Sea Trout in Garlic (1). Next we head to Lake Martin for July 4th weekend and will probably play instead of fish.

Lee hand feeds Blue Cat on Alabama River

Lee made friends with this cat and ended up talking me into letting him release him after he fed him about 5 big chunks of beef liver. He had also eaten that what was on the hook when he got caught. That sore lip didn't slow him down too much. Needless to say this cat escaped with a belly full.

Lee Harmon with Blue Cat on Alabama River

Caught this one on June 30th in swift current. The River dropped about a foot in the hour we were there. Lee hand fed this new friend of his some beef liver and then wanted to release him since they became so close. I hope he does not get this close with all the cats he meets down the road.
