Went to Lake Pleasant Saturday/Sunday. WOW! The lake level was as low as I've ever seen it! About 50% capacity. Explored all the northern coves and river and decided on Humbug Cove. Got to examine a lot of structure and creek channel that are normally submerged, so I learned much about one of my favorite places to fish at Pleasant. Caught a 3 to 4 pound channel cat at 10:35 Saturday morning while fishing for sunfish for flathead bait using my light weight spinning rig. What a gas. The rod was bent right over and the cat stripped off line several times before I was able to boat it. Caught another 5 to 6 pounder about 6:30 Saturday night on my designated channel cat rig. Another nice fight. That was it, no bass, but I will be able to use what I learned about the structure there come spring when the lake is full.
