3-31-09 Congaree Catfish Hunt

[beaglewoman]

Went back today and got 14 more of them Congaree Cats. All were caught on cut herring. The water has finally started to drop a little. There was still enough water to run the boat up the road that is usually high and dry. It was a pretty exciting ride.
While we were in the swamp we got to see some wildlife. There was a beaver swimming around near what is usually the bank of the river. There was a snake sunning in the branches of a tree. Saw one muskrat. Some wood ducks.

The fish bite was ok. The size could have been better. One catfish had a rattling plug hung in his lip when I caught him. I would have taken a pic of this but the plug got hung in my net. **note the catfish whisker on the plug**

All fish caught yesterday and today was donated to fill the freezers of two families that needed it.

Alright, enough teasing already!!!! I guess if they went to fill some needed space in friend's freezers, then, ok, tease a little.

Yeah all the fish did go for good causes. Both have been out of work due to health and thought this could help them out some. Plus one the one guy broke his leg while I had him out on a coon hunt a few weeks ago, kinda felt like i owed it to him. I had never seen such a broken leg as that one. It just seemed to dangle below the other leg. He is the guy in the work uniform with Shakey on the name tag.
