    I was gonna ask what kind of catfish they were and now I see that they’re sailcats. Those are great eating, just a PITA to handle.

    Honestly, I’m probably gonna meat haul those bad boys. They’re so easy to see on sonar with those big, hard heads. Really bright returns. They kinda spread out, too. So their schools are easy to differentiate.

    I eat fish every day when I’ve got them, and it’s either that or buying chicken, so why not just keep the catfish? Because someone might think I’m some kinda loser? Well, I make a living doing this and wrote a book how to do it, so I’m way past that. lol

    Let us know how those sail cat fillets are. Any worms in them?

    If you give the “okay” then I’ll probably whack the daylights out of them on my next trip out. Just try to sink the boat in trash fish. LOL

    Anyway, I think moving to the east side of Lake Borgne was a good idea. Good move on your part. I’m not sure where there’s a lot of trout holding over there, I guess somewhere closer to the MRGO.

    Maybe @Boyce ran the tracks/spots I shared earlier in another post and he’ll have a good report for that. Hopefully.

    Either way, great report, thanks for posting. The wind was tough, and that just makes things harder. You’ll have an easier time of it when the wind lays down.
