    There you go! Rodman gave you a very good channel cat set up. If you don’t have a bite within 10 minutes of getting your bait into the water move.

    There’s some really nice channels in the Croix!

    Get you some White Castle sliders, squeeze into a tight ball & put on hook. Heavy on the onions….

    Be nice Brian. You know walleye guys are a little slow.
