How is everyone doing this fine spring, just went to the local lake here in Nashville Illinois, Took out my new used bass boat, 1978 venture. It did well so did we, caught the limit of catfish, avg length 28 inches in 4 hours. The bait, hmmmm you may not believe me but we used chicken breasts. Cut into chunks, it worked great, we lost 10 nice fish. I caught two on my president 20 reel with 2 pound test mono on it. What a great first day out on my new used boat.
