Fishing Forum

I made a real quick trip out with Mike Moore and his daughter, McKinleigh, this morning. We really didn't have long to fish so I was sort of "runnin' and gunnin'," if you can do that catfishing?<br /><br />Hit a spot.... drift 100 yards and if nobody got bit, gun to the next spot. We had pretty good flow (21,000 cfs), and drifitng chicken breast, as always.<br /><br />The sun wasn't all the way up when we started... and apparently the catfish weren't awake yet. It was a very slow start. But as the sun rose, we started waking up a few fish... including one hefty blue Mike finally hooked up with. Mike and McKinleigh were a little bit freaked out when they first laid eyes on it.<br /><br />McKinleigh was great fun. She's a dancer at heart... but she "ain't skeered of no catfish," like some girly girls. Dad carried four good-sized 'eaters" home to filet for McKinleigh's dinner before they headed for the Midnight premier of the latest Harry Potter movie. It's a fun little "father-daughter staycation." More Dads and daughters should do that.<br /><br />McKinkeigh reminded me a lot of my own girls which made this quick morning trip extra special for me... and that means life is good and gettin' better every day.
