Another night of fishin'...

Bob, Max and our friend Pam Fishing on A Dock

We decided to try our hand at fishing again tonight.  I caught 4 catfish and 1 other fish, but I have no idea what it was and didn't think to take a photo.  It looked a little like a bream, but it had a spot near the gills and a few light stripes on the body.


Anyway, Bob caught a couple of catfish, but the "winner" of the evening was our neighbor, Pam.  She managed to land 9 pretty good size catfish.  Hot dogs seem to be the favorite treat for them~lol  Maybe we'll try a different bait tomorrow and see if we can't catch something else.



We did enjoy watching a couple of dolphin swimming in the river.  We got to see them swim up towards the salt marsh and back down again about an hour later.  I have to admit that I am really enjoying our evenings sitting out an the docks.  Not only are we having fun catching the fish, but it's nice to also be able to sit quietly for a while.

Showing the boys how to fish...



So Max is over fishing at a friends boat and Bob has been fishing next to the boat for about 30-45 minutes and I decided to try my hand at it.  Since I have no lure, like Bob, I decided to put hot dog on my hook.  Well, this was an excellent idea!  In about 30 minutes, I was able to catch 5 medium to large catfish and I lost a very large one that snapped the line (thus putting an end to my fishing).  My neighbor, Pam, decided to join in the fun and she was able to catch 1 and had 2 snap her line.

Well, you'd think the boys would put a hot dog on their hooks, but no.  So the final fish count was girls, 6 (with an additional 3 that snapped the line), boys...nothing...not even a nibble~lol

EDIT:  So I have to revise the fish count to girls, 6 catfish and 3 get aways and now Bob's caught a fish also...a toad fish!  Talk about an ugly little thing!!
