I ended up with a few hours to fish Saturday afternoon so I hit the Wilson Bridge around 4:30. Armed with a bag of raw chicken breast I made my way to the first piling. It took about a minute to have my first blue cat in the yak. It was steady catching for a while but all under 20" so I move to the next piling.
Steady catching again with a few bigger cats in the mix. I moved to the third piling and found the magic hole. 28 incher right off the bat then a few in the 23" to 26" range. I had one fish that felt like a cow nose ray, it wouldn't come off the bottom at first and then pulled me all around. As soon as I could see my leader the line went limp. No head shake no nothing just no fish on the hook. I would have liked to have seen what it was.
I did have a fish steal a fishing pole from me. I had a few bumps so I picked up the pole and then a few more bumps. Then all of a sudden BAM the fish hit hard and fast and caught me sleeping. Snatched the rod right out of my hand and all I could do was laugh knowing what I must have looked like. That WTF look on my face.
I did manage a 19" to 21" Rockfish on a crank bait but since I had a 26' blue cat flop on my Hawg Trough and snapped it in two like it was nothing I was unable get a good messurement. We can just callit 20"
