Trip Summary

We had a ridiculously good perch and catfish trip this morning, with over 50 jumbo perch and 15 Catfish boated and released. The bite was on FIRE. We boated so many doubles on the jumbo perch that we lost count and we hit several schools of Big Blue Cat Fish with multiple fish (3X and 5X) boated at the SAME time. When you have a floor full of BIG Cat Fish, you know you're having a GREAT morning of fishing with Dr. Porter and his boys.

Another ridiculous 3 hour trip with The Carolina Angler. We boated over 200 lbs of Cat Fish and 100 perch in just a 3 hour trip today. The bite was hot for Big Cats and loads of white perch all morning. All fish were released to fight again another day.

Another awesome morning fishing with the Carolina Angler. During a 3 hour trip, we boated 10 Blue Cats, 2 Flat Head Cats and 5 Channel Cats plus over 100 White perch. Not bad for a 3 hour trip on a day with a 110 Heat Index in Sept. All fish were released to fight again another day.

The Driscoll Boys said they could shut down the bite on any Lake in the country but that was NOT the case today. We boated over 200 lbs of Cat Fish today on Lake Wylie with numerous Blue Cat Fish over 20 lbs pulled over the rail. We also caught a few channel cat fish and 2 elusive Flat Head Catfish plus 75 white perch during the 3 hour trip. BTW today was the HOTTEST day of the summer with heat indexes over 110 today so we cut the 4 hour trip short due to the heat.
