March meet and greet...Potomac Blue Cats at Marshall Hall

[YakCapn]

So I got several blue cats and channels today, it was a great day on the water! I kept 4 Blue Cats and 1 Channel Cat. The largest Blue Cat was 21" and the Channel Cat was 19.5". I feel pretty comfortable eating the Blue Cats based on what I read on the forum....but what about the Channel Cat? Are they safe to eat???

Gents I am out. Car started smoking and leaking coolant and the shop can't look at it until tomorrow. Really bummed. I was looking forward to meeting everyone and trying some new fishing. Good luck and tight lines!

Just felt like that was towards me since i started the other thread about the regulations. I will be there tomorrow

Not that i feel invincible, but at least have the courage to send me a message if thats how you feel.

Dear D3NALI
Thank you for your response to my post attempting to protect those who wish to enjoy our sport. I am not quite sure why you feel my post was directed to you specifically. I would be glad to PM you with my feelings from past experience, but do not feel at this time sending you a PM would resolve the issue that you have in life. You do not know who I am, but from past post I know who you are. We have never met but I believe I can help you should you choose help. I am an OLD MARINE, that has successfully dealt with PTSD for over 40 years. Through my no cost counseling of those who suffer, I have been successful directing over 20 vets to find a positive life choice. Having said that, I am sad to say that 3 I have assisted chose to end their lives. I do not do this for accolades; I do this this because our government has chosen to forget out heroes, our fallen, those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. Should wish my help, or should you wish to hear my story, Please do not hesitate to PM me and I will arrange a meeting that will be beneficial to both of us. I would love to spend some time with you fishing tomorrow

[D3NAL1]

Kevin, i wont make it to this this. Ill be fishing on my own down river

As a last attempt to inform those who feel they are invincible. Dress for the water temps and not the air temps. As Capt Mike has stated, Wear a PFD, it's always better to be prepared then to be DEAD.

No brainer here i have 2 ones mesh and used in summer and then ones bulky but i feel like it has more bouancy so i wear it in winter when im loaded up lol

About the PFD something you want to consider.
Water temperature: 40 to 50 degrees
Time until exhaustion or unconsciousness: 30 to 60 minutes
Expected time of survival in the water: 1 to 3 hours
Age in this factoid is in the 20's at 40 years of age cut the time in half. At 50 - 60 cut it again in half.

Wear the PFD so at least your body can found. Otherwise we may need to wait till summer for it to float up.

EDIT: I replied on the wrong thread but it still is "relevant".
