The river has actually been holding pretty steady down here Limb. First time in a few years that we have had good water for more than a week.
Ghosty, definately going to be a SE Iowa fish fry. Maybe in my new shop as soon as its done.It's going to take alot of batter and beer!
lxshooter, I know what you are talking about. As far as a straight channel cat goes, anything over 5 or 6 pounds isn't fit to eat in my opinion. On a flathead or yellow cat as some people call them, as long as you trim the little bit of red meat of of them and just cook the white stuff it tastes better than a straight channel any day of the week. The red meat is the stuff that will turn muddy brown on you when you fry it up and tastes like an old oil filter.
