Fishing at Milford lake in Kansas

Went fishing at Milford yesterday and today. First time fishing there so not even close to knowing where the best places to fish are. I caught 4 blue cats and my buddy caught 6 including the albino cat in the attached picture. I also took 8-10 sunset photos as well. I missed three bites because my old bones couldn’t react fast enough. Them blue cats don’t mess around, they grab the bait and run like hell!they don’t mess around. First time I’ve ever fished for them. A flathead will pick on your live bluegill for an hour before taking the bait. Not them blues, no warning at all just grab it and run. We didn’t weigh any but the big one might have weighed 8 pounds. Had a great couple of days.

Don't mean to reveal my age but I did a lot of pheasant, quail & rabbit hunting in Milford Ks before they flooded it & several other small burgs in the area in the late 60's. One of my hunting buddies who lived in nearby Wakefield had a beautiful 20 - 25 ft sugar maple in his front yd that I admired. He said if I cold get it out of the ground before they bulldozed the all the buildings I could have it. Paid a dozer operator $20 to dig it out & sit it in the back of my 55 F100 which put the back bumper inches from the ground. On the 30 mile trip home had to tie the top down to get under several under passes. Today that Maple is approx 75 - 100 ft tall & a site to behold in the fall when the leaves turn gold. The following week we returned & gave the dozer driver another $20 to remove & load Milfords only fire hydrant which today is still displayed in my sisters front flower garden in Abilene with a sign that reads, "Out of Water"

Nice Cats Rut, and beautiful sunset shots. I've never caught a Blue Cat, sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.
