Big gars and little blues

With the warm weather and plans for a family dinner this evening I headed out before daylight and hit the mouth of a little creek that feeds the Ohio River. While only less than a cast across it has a deep eddy hole at the mouth that draws fish like a magnet in late winter. Here they can find respite from the current of the main river. I fished cut squares of skipjack I'd caught a couple weeks earlier and froze. I ended up catching four small blue cats that weighed three or four pounds apiece and four big gar and a few small stripey fish. Pretty cool for December 26...
