I decided to sneak out on a weekend and see who was fishing the nuke. Sure enough, there was rsimms pumping away on a very nice fish! He came over to show off and have his picture made, so I obliged him. Meanwhile, the fish just flat STOPPED biting as I got there. It took forever before I finally boated fish, and they were twin 16 pounders caught back to back. The fishing remained dead until about 12:30 when I boated a 30&#43; and the bite started again. Lots of fish were caught in about 45 minutes and the bite turned off again. Meanwhile, the fellows next to me, who had caught a 40&#43; earlier, latched onto a huge cat and I went over and lent them a landing net big enough to handle the fish. Then they had to use my scales - it was 74 pounds! emoEek Sure was a boatful of happy old men!!!!!<br />Beautiful day to be out again. Here&#39;s today&#39;s pics:
