It was a great day to be out at the lake, Scooter dug us some worms up from our leaf/ worm beds in the back yard, I told him
make sure he gets what we call snakes or big fat night crawlers. I made us a lunch and snack bag and we headed down to our
favorite nook in the woods. Scooter and I always fist bump and tell one another don't catch all the fish but he never listens,
while he is cleaning up on bass, blue gill and perch, I'm sitting serenading the fish and if I get lucky I catch a few. Well
this time I had a secret weapon for my little friends. I cut some hot dogs up in small chunks, I put a worm on, some sweet
whole kernel corn and a piece of hot dog then marinaded it in some of our homemade "Bite Me"
that we just refreshed with some old cooking oil that we cooked chicken in.. YUMMMMMM.. Hey I do say, those catfish love
gourmet and so do the bass. Scooter reeled in a nice 16" large mouth bass and I caught a 9" catfish. Most of my
day was preoccupied by skimming the lake lace off the water out as far as I could reach with the net. I was getting tired
of my line jamming from the green stringy muck that would wrap around my line. Scooter joined in for a bit also and soon there
was no lace on the water until the winds changed..We fished for about 6 hrs until the fish wiped us out of worms.. We had
a great time, enjoyed each other's company and relaxed....
