Now he is threw cutting up bait he is getting in some rod and reel time . It looks like he is getting a bite on one of his lines. Yelp he's on now let's wait and see what on the other end of the line. Well he as got it in and it is about a 2 lb'er( and the batteries are dead in my cam ) well that is a start on catching some fish. Well ole Bill set there about another hour and did not get a bite. Now it's time I go and start supper and what shall I fix,Tune in to the next chapter and see what is for supper . Talk to you soon and in the meantime take a kid fishing.

Well y'all set back and dream that you are on the river and just listen to the birds,leaves blowing in the breeze and the sound of running water OH what a joy it is. This is a pretty wide spot in the river it is about 3 to 4 hundred yards wide and it was swift. Well now that we have the camp set up it is time to go and est lines and fish a while. So y'all enjoy the scenery while we go and try to catch a big ole boy. Talk soon and in the mean time take a kid fishing.

Our Camp Site on the Alabama River

Well I am back to do this project I have been canning things out of the garden for the last two weeks and it has wound down. I still need to get the peas in but there not quite ready now,maybe in two to three days and then I'll be threw with the canning and get back to fishing. Here are some pic's of our camp when we went on the Alabama River fishing for a few days. We were up on a bluff about ten feet above the water and had a great view of the river there. We also had a great breeze there and it kept them buzz saws off us also. It is so great to live in a place where you can be in five different river within twenty min. That is what I call a fisherman's paradise. Well I will close for this print and post some more pic's and write a little more. Have a great day and take a kid fishing.

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.

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.

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.
