Well we went back to Gaston for the holiday weekend. It was BUSY!!!!! but we still managed to get a little fishing in. It was a lot slower than it was 2 weeks ago but we had a couple nice catches. Just to give a little back story I have twin boys 14 yoa. Last year I made them get their boaters license and now they will take my boat and fish the creek by themselves. So one evening I decided not to go so Dylan takes the boat out and goes straight across the creek (where I can see him) and starts throwing a frog. Well 15-20 minutes later he comes back and tells me he has a good one. He put it in the well but would not show me cause he wanted to keep fishing till dark. He come back at dark and weighed it.... 5.44lbs a new PB for him. His biggest before was somewhere around 4.5lbs.
On to my other son. He loves to catfish from the dock at night. I am inside watching TV and comes up and tells me to come out and look at what he caught. A 23lb flathead!!! He said it wrapped him around dock pilings and peeled drag. Then the next evening while catfishing he catches a 4lb bass on a cut bluegill!!! Some guys have all the luck
So on to me... My brother and I caught a few every day but nothing worth talking about. My biggest was 2.97lbs. Most fish were on a frog. It was hot as hell so did not do a lot of fishing just 3 or so hours in the mornings and evenings.
It was a great weekend to see both my kids catch some nice fish and we also had some family and friends over for a cookout which included (prepared by yours truly) homemade smoked BBQ, Country ribs, and wings. Mom made her special striper dip, potato salad, baked beans, and mac and cheese. Oh I love to eat!!!!
