YO-YO Cats

Night-time YO-YO fishing with Kyle and Jamil Homra.

Teresa and I were in Samburg, TN to video a bluegill fishing trip, so Kyle suggested that we go Yo-Yo fishing for catfish that night. We're always up for something new, so we set out about 24 yo-yo's as the sun was going down that evening.

Kyle used crawfish and nightcrawlers for bait. We caught 10 or 12 nice cats in about three hours with the yo-yo's. The fish averaged 3 pounds with the largest about 5 pounds.

We had to make the three hour drive back to Dickson that night, so we had to leave around eleven. I'm sure we could have filled a good-sized cooler if we had stayed later.

If you want to fish with Kyle and Jamil, you can call them at Homra's Guide service 731-538-9846.
