Yes I did. I ended up going out of Catawba for safety reasons. When I got my bait I waited to see where everyone else was going so Catawba it was and I followed. I followed a couple of guys out on the lake and it was still dark. They went west as I proceeded north. Went out about 4 miles and set up. I did not mark a fish until 815. Hooked up and lost it half way up. 15 min later i landed a 10.4. 15 min after that a 9 lber. I DID NOT mark alot of fish but the ones I did mark, I caught. Wind was brutal so I decided to stay in my shantee with mr. buddy. All in all I had my limit by 1145 and was headed home. Turned out to be a great fishing day with hardly any people on the lake. No members that I know of were out on Thursday, at least nobody text me or called me. Got a couple of people that did text me while I was out there and I sent them pics of the ones I got.
Went out Friday also, totally different area and vexilar was lit up like a Christmas tree. Changed lures every 5 min until I got them to bite. It was awesome when I saw 5 fish at a time on the vexilar. Good luck everyone and be safe out there this weekend. It's going to be nasty on Sunday.
