My nephews got hooked on River Monsters, Mud Cats and Hillbilly Handfishing. Memorial weekend they asked me take them catfishing. I was not able to take them, but promised to take them on my vacation. We made plans at our July 4th family get together to send the night and set trotlines. My youngest nephew was been texting me for the last few weeks and has been very excited. Well my vaction finally arrived this week. We finalized our plans and desided to fish Wed evening for a few hours and to spend the night Thur. Wed about the time the gar stopped biting and flatheads started biting, we ran out of bait. Thur we had to really hustle to catch bait. We didn't get to the river till almost dark, didn't have enough time or catch enough bait to set two trotlines. Things were not going as planned. Reguardless of all the problems I thought we were having, the boys were having a great time! I sure enjoyed their company and as a bonus found myself two more fishing buddies. They are already asking when we can again. Hopefully we can get a few more fishing trips in before September 15.
