Were into the Cut and Headed to the Alabama River

Well were on our way , we cut across the Tombigbe and now we are in the cut. This a a pic of Bill and his boat and you can see how loaded it is by the way front is out of the water. we have about an hour thru the cut being the water is so swift and our boats are loaded. There is a lot of trash in the river and also in the cut so therefore we will be going kinda slow. This is such a pretty place to be lots of birds signing and there is plenty of wildlife every where. well we past these two fishing camps on the way and that has to be the Tom Sawyers of the 21st century they are so neat. We have gone about 10 miles and we are about 8 miles from where we will be camping.my next post will be of our camp so hang in there and read the rest of the story.

Launching the Boats

Well we are at the boat ramp and look how high the water is. What a bad deal. Well that is not half of it Bill's two boys have not showed up yet and it is getting close to 9a. Well I am going to go ahead and lunch being I am already here and spent all the money on this trip might as well do it. It still be good to go camping and just being out doors with all the birds and other things. Well I have launch my boat and now I going to launch Bill's boat and then we will get this show on the road. Well it's 9:15a and we leaving the ramp and Bill's boys did not show,it's there lost not mine. Were going to cross the Tom Bigbe and hit the cut over to the Alabama River.I will post when we get into the cut and show some pic's of fish camps

The Boat is Ready to Go

Well it's Monday morning about 7a and I am putting the food in the boat. That is all I need to do and I will be ready to go. I feel like this will be a wasted trip because of the weather. That front blow in yesterday and the wind has blown all night and the water is still up. We had to go on anyway because of vacations had been scheduled and they could not be reschedule. Any we going to give it a try and see what happens and go from there.It's about 8a and were on the way.

Ready To Go

The boat is packed and we are ready to go. We had a cool front blow in about 1:00 pm this afternoon and the wind is about 15 mph out of the north. Being the water is high and the wind is out of the north it ought to be interesting. We will be leaving around 7 in the morning and will not be back until Thursday afternoon. Until then have a great day and take a kid fishing. Until next post enjoy life.

Count Down Day 2

Well the boat is loaded all except the food and rod and reel's. The river is falling about a foot and a half per day and that should be great for fishing. Went out yesterday and racked crawfish's and got about a hundred or so. I need to go down to the river and see if I can catch some shad. I have 31 blue gill's for fishing them log jams for the big yellow's. Well that's about it for today not much going on ,just waiting for Monday to get here. So in the meantime take a kid fishing.

Count Down Day 3

Well I said yesterday that it was not going to be to productive but it was a OK day. I got all the rod and reels that I do not normally use checked out and new line on them and there are ready to go. Went and filled up the boat with gas and got me two five's for spare gas. I bought me one of them new 100 qt coolers that says it will hold ice for five days at 90 degree's we will see. Today I will load the tents ,sleeping bags,table, and the rest camping gear. Well It's time I get up from here and start my day and in the mean time until the next post have a great day and take a kid fishing.

Count Down Day 4

Well yesterday was a good productive day ,I got all the batteries fully charged and most of the food bought. I worked on the boat lighting and added two new lights that will be used for night fishing. Then I adjusted my running lights so they would not be shining to for out in front of the boat. This morning I have a Dr's appt. so that will throw me off today,but when I get back I will start getting the fishing tackle ready and the rod and reels checked out. This is about all that will go on today. So until next post have a great day.
