Hey Guys,
I got to go fishing in Arkansas this week while I was off..I'm not going to toot my own horn...well yes I am. I caught about 14 fish in a few hours most of them perch..Normally I catch more catfish than anything, but they just weren't biting. I did catch a few bass..I had a great time until I stood in an ant pile. Now I have a few ant bites, but nothing more fishing can't cure..Missouri and Illinois here I come....Spring 2007 any good places or just any thoughts?...Get at me...

I am glad that you enjoyed your fishing vacation. What are you going to do with all of those fish? Do you clean and skin them,too.? I like to fish, too. I like to go to places like Wilmore Park, Suson Park, Forest Park, Fenton, Busch Wildlife and January Walbash Park. What kind of bait did you use. I like to use night crawlers.

My dad cleaned all the fish and cooked them. We ate them that night. We don't play around when it comes to that.
AngieM..we use night crawlers also...they freak me out cause they look like little snakes to me.

when i was a kid my dad and i took the boat out and tied up along the shore in the Meremac River. We were using night crawlers and we caught over 150 perch in a few hours .. They are alot of fun To Catch..It took quite awhile to clean all of them .. We used to fish alot .. We would put trot lines and limb lines in the river . We would use various baits . Minnows ,Crawfish , GOld fish,Cheese dogs and beleive it or not Ivory Soap . We would catch hundreds of pounds of fish during the summer .Mostly Catfish.. We did catch a few gar they are pretty ugly Fish. The Biggets one we ever caught was a 35 pound falthead catfish.

I came up with a neat way to scale the perch a few years ago .. i would take a garden hose and use the nozzle to scale the perch.. you hold the perch in your hand with the head facing towards the ground then take the nozzle and spray the scales right off .. They just flip right off .. You get pretty wet but the scales fly off pretty quick .. Try it some time :) oh by the way i have a trophy picture i carry around .. its my Picture with beautiful sweet April Simpson wooo hoooo ..it was awesome meeting you at the Blogapalooza April ...

Good Morning April. It is good to hear you enjoyed your fishing exhibition/vacation. It has been YEARS since I have had to opportunity or made time to go fish. I even purchased a new rod and reel and still haven't put it to good use. If you are ever looking for a fishing buddy, let me know. On another note, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your work. Unfortunately, I never saw you on TV in Monroe or Shreveport when I was in school at Grambling, but I am sure it was a great experience! Take care until next time!
