Red River (North) - Saturday, July 9, 2011

I went out on Friday from 1-3pm at the North Dam.  I used fatheads with a floating jig head and never got a bite.  My other line was a orange and black rooster tail smaller spinning lure(LOL).  I casted with it a few times it also had a minnow hooked threw the mouth.  Then I just  let it sit 3 feet from shore and was messing around with my tackle box.  All of the sudden I see my line start moving and I set the hook to find my first river cat of 2011.  It was on my 10lb suffix line walleye rod.  Needless to say I got dominated and it was a ten minute battle before I was able to drag a 7.5 LB Cat in without a net I left at the lakes(LOL).  It was a  slow day but I was jacked up to get into a cat.  The water is still very high but the shoreline is fairly dry .  Gl everyone and don't be afraid to try new things alla rooster tail(LOL)
