Great Fishing Weekend

Lonny, Chop, Buster, and I went bank poling this past Memorial Day weekend with great success. Chop and Buster set the poles out around 3:30 Friday afternoon and Lonny, Buster, and I ran them Friday night and couldn’t believe our luck. We caught several fish and the average was around 7 lbs. We ran them again Saturday and had so many that we decided to clean what we had. Our biggest fish weighed in at 19lbs. The runners up were two channel cats, one at 14lbs and the other at 12 lbs. None of us were complaining. Things tapered off Saturday night and we only caught two or three. Lonny and I pulled the poles Sunday morning and we caught a lot. We just made it back to the cabin before a big thunderstorm hit.

All in all we had a great weekend, Brody went with us during the morning run on Saturday and he did great in the boat. he got mad when one of the fish splashed him so he started wacking them with the dip net. He loves driving the boat and in a few years he’ll make a great bank poler.
