Colorado River Report for Sat 8-11-07

[tiedown]

Put out lines Saturday evening in the Colorado River. We put out about 30 lines baited with perch, and mudcats. We ended up with 12 fish total, 7 yellow cats, biggest was 16 pounds and 5 blues. The yellows we caught were all solid, the seven we keep were from 8-16 pounds. We did have 3 more that we threw back, they were 18 inches but skinny. The blues were just average good eating fish. It was the first time we had gotten on the river since all the rain, man it has changed, but seemed for the good. There is a lot more drifts, and some new holes.
My uncle fished also they caught 5 yellows and 5 blues, they had one blue that went 32 pounds. They took photo's and released him or her. Caught the big blue on cut buffalo.

Nice! we rarely catch any blues around La Grange and if we do they are always smaller.

Dont know what the deal is with big blues this year, we have caught a bunch of big blues. I bet we have caught 10-12 in the 15-20 pound class range this year. We have not been able to find any big yellows, lost a few, it has been that way for just about every one. It seems all the yellows are just solid fish. Dont really like them to eating big blues but they are fun to watch whipping a limb, pulling rubber strapps, or jerking some PVC pipe.
