Photo dump!!!

Been stacking a gew pics from the past couple of weeks. Still plenty of good activity down at Oakland Mills for channel cat and flathead even with the river starting to recede. With the weather coming in Sunday, today and Saturday show to be good opportunities to fish this Father's Day weekend.

In the shop we have fresh orders of Mad Katz and Catch the Fever rods, Whisker Seeker and Mad Katz reels, terminal tackle and some new Mad Katz merch.

Remember we have music at Lu-Lu's Landing and the bait shop parking lot will be closed at 6pm and shop access will limited.

See ya at the river!

The Oakland Mills dam continues to produce great fish this year.

The long awaited Goliath 6000 spinning reel from Mad Katz are officially released. It's a sharp looking reel, built for heavy duty work it comes with stainless steel gears, aluminum machined body, 9+1 gear ratio and 50 lbs of drag!

It's a hefty price point at $299 retail but if you are interested in one of these hit me up and I can order directly from Mad Katz!

Thanks, see ya at the river!

There is no such thing as too many fishing poles (kinda like you tell us about shoes 😜😶).
