Catfishin’ With “Mr. Whiskers”
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Saturday the kids and I went fishing with the one and only Mr. Whiskers who is my grandfather. We had a lot of fun. Captain Jackson searched for the perfect spot find fish.
He took us directly to the spot by using the on-board fish navigation finder.
We dropped anchor and cast our bobbers out, and low and behold we had hit it big. I believe I reeled in the first fish of the day. It was a lovely channel cat with a belly full of disgusting soured grain. Then Ashton, was next. She had to work really hard to bring in the fish.
She finally did it, many many times.
Next Jackson hooked him a nice fish. He wanted to touch it and hold it so bad!!
His interest only lasted a little while. He ended up bailing on us when we docked for a potty break. He found much more interest in the extension cord in the back of Granddad’s pickup truck. So him and Granddad stayed behind so we could fish a bit more. We ended up netting more than 30 keepers in a short amount of time. It was great. I guess that stinky bait really works! I was amazed. I always am!! The kids really enjoyed it!
Visit Mr. Whisker’s site to get some of this awesome bait or to inquire about booking a fun family fishing trip.
