A Pretty Good Return
I knew I needed bait so while I was at Kroger yesterday I bought a half pound of shrimp. It was $5.99 lb with my Kroger card so basically, I had three bucks invested in today’s fishing trip.
I ran a few errands with Ramona this AM but by noon it was warming up outside and Max and I were ready to go!
We located a deep spot out on our part of the lake the other day and my plan was to paddle out there, anchor, and hopefully catch a Catfish or two.
Daylight is a factor this time of year and the fact that it takes me about 40 minutes to paddle one way to our spot we had to get going! We anchored in about 25 -30 feet of water and I put out three Rods. I was going to read some from 2 Samuel during the down time but before I could say Mephibosheth I had my first fish!!
We fished until about 3:45 and began our journey home. First time ever fishing this spot and I brought home seven cats for the freezer! You will note in the photos that I have displayed a small Blue Cat with a small Channel Cat for your viewing pleasure. Max and I also had the opportunity to see a vintage Chris Craft boat rumble by us slowly in our no wake zone.
Bottom line is that I got some exercise and fresh air. We caught a few fish and once again we were able to enjoy God’s Great Outdoors.
Where I come from that is a pretty good return on a $3 investment!
