Thanksgiving Fishing Trip

In my opinion, it's not a proper holiday if you haven't tossed a line in the water.  Today in Texas we flirted with the 80 degree mark.  That almost demands that you get outside.

Today's catch consisted of carp and bullhead catfish.  My son landed the largest fish of the day, a 2.16 lbs carp.  It's pictured below.

Below my daughter is pictured with the same fish.  It cracks me up, because the fish looks so much larger in her little arms.

There were lots of small carp out and about.  The kids each hooked a small one at the same time.  See below.

The remainder of the pictures are bullheads.

Remember I 've said that when it cools off, so do the bites.  You need a time filler.  Today we did a little monkey in the middle using my net.

We also took in a lot of nature.  The Canadian geese never disappoint.  It's so beautiful to see them take flight and land.

Our baits today were worms, bread, and corn.  There was no response to the bread.  Our catches were made on corn and worms.  The catfish bit on both, but the carp only bit on corn.

As usual, it was all catch and release.  Remember to take advantage of warm days when you can.  Happy fishing!
