Lake Ontelaunee 7/13/07

My wife and I fished Lake Ontalunee from 8:00 pm till 12:30 am. Like most of this year it was slow. The target was catfish and the baits used were nightcrawlers, chicken livers, and shrimp. I did manage to get on channel cat that was all of 15 inches on a chicken liver. Mt wife also on a chicken got the catch of the night. A 24" carp that gave her a nice fight also on a chicken liver. That was the first carp I ever saw caught on a chicken liver. I guess if you can catch catfish on corn and dough white not carp on livers?

As the sun set many fish were jumping all around and very close to shore. More than likely shad, herring or perhaps some carp. Regardless of their species I am sure the mission of those jumping fish was to torment and tease us.
