Report=Decided to try some catfish action here. We baited up at Trout Island (Point?) for only one bite by 9:30. Decided to drive down the west shore to see how the action was over there. BIG MISTAKE. We did see some cats being caught but we also got stuck in the sand, along with two others. After a futile attempt to get un-stuck with bushes and rocks under the tires, the patrol boat came along and went back to have someone help us. Not long after, a tractor comes and pulls a stuck truck, myself, and another mini-van out of the sand. He had us hook-up his chain to our vehicles and said he is not responsible for any damage, which is completley understandable. After dragging me out, I slipped him a $20 and headed for home. Probably could have caught a few cats as we watched a few others pulled in but i was dirty from trying to dig my car out and wanted to go home. The fishing was poor for us but the service was A+.
