My ONLY Fishing Excursion for 2011



Given the numerous adventures and purchases the family made this year I can't complain. However my one and only fishing excursion occurred Thursday evening October 6th on the Mississippi with Capt. Dennis ( thanks again Dennis for going out ).

I caught four Drum and four catfish ranging from 1 to 3 lbs.  A good late afternoon / evening of fishing and relaxation was had by all!

Nearly to the Missouri Side of the river where we anchor and fish

Although I only caught 4 of these guys, they are experts at removing your bait from your hook and swimming away.

Doesn't get any better than this
