Took the kids today to try and catch some catfish. Water was high and the plan was to paddle up the creek to a spot I like and drop lines to the bottom for Mr Wiskers. Kids got up early, helped load the gear and we were off to Bobs fishing hole.
We got there , paid our launch fee, bought some minnows and continued to set up the boats. With everything almost rigged up I go to grab the paddles and I notice a problem, one set of paddles were two rights. Because we left a boat home the kids grabbed some paddles, I didn't check before we left home so now we went to plan B.
We set up at the end of one of the docks and tossed out some lines. With the boat traffic around the area I am sure led to the lack of a bite we had this morning.
I allowed two of my boys to go try the other side of the water where I could still watch them but after a while they just came back to the dock where I was and fishing with my daughter.
She had a great time just playing with the minnow bucket and by the time we were ready to go all the minnows were dead and still no fish.
Even after not being able to go fishing the way we wanted and not catching anything the kids enjoyed themselves. Plan B still worked and it was better than being up the creek without a paddle. Lessons learned on this trip it to color code the paddles with there match. This might keep this from happening again. Hope the next trip down this way will be better for them. Until our next trip tight lines.
