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.

Cuont Down Day 5

Well today is a work day getting ready for the trip.Today we will start charging all the batteries on the boat and the one spear one. While this going on we will make the food list and go to the store buy the food. then if I have any time left I will go over the rod and reels and tackle.The check list has already been made so we will just follow it.I check on the rivers this morning and it fell 1.64 feet last night, which that is good for us.Well it is 6 am and the sun is up here in Alabama so I will close for now and get to work on this list in the meantime have a great day.

Count Down Day 6

Well today begins the countdown before we go on our fishing trip looking for the big one. This picture is our mascot that will fly at the camp. When we leave the boat ramp at Mt.Vernon,Alabama we will head north about 5 miles to the Alabama River and there will go 16 to 36 miles depending what the first sand bar looks like being we have had high water for two weeks now. The river has crest and feel 1.8ft. today. For now that is all will post progress of what is going on as for getting packed and start loading the boat. Y'all have a good evening and take a kid fishing.

River Is Up

Well when you see this floating down the river it's best to stay off. If you can see it on top you can bet that there's some under the water also. The police chief of town last Sat. hit an under water log and destroyed his lower unit on his motor. If you do decide to run the river on the rise stay out of the channel because that's is were most of the trash runs. For now I will stay out of the river until it starts to fall. So if you choose to get in the river be careful and don't become a number. Until next time take a kid fishing.
