Fishing for Thanksgiving!

Dec 07

We went South this year for Thanksgiving. Decided to visit my wife’s sister and her family this year for the big turkey day. And you know what I was thinking….count me in for sure, there is a coast close by that is full of fish.

The plan was to get there, relax, then head to Padre Island for some bay fishing. We have always had great luck with the trout fishing there. Just to eat up some time we went fishing in a stock tank that was behind my brother-in-law’s work place. He maintains it for the company that he works for and he was telling me that it had some monster bass in it. Well, let me tell you, he wasn’t lying either. The fishing was so good there that we decided to skip on the Padre Island bay fishing idea.

Below are pics of the Black Bass that we caught. They all ranged from 3 lbs. to 8 lbs. and were caught on live perch. I ended up with the biggest catch at around 8 pounds.

Wow, what a pain in the A$$

Back in May a few of us guys got together and went camping at O.H. Ivie Lake. For me it was the first time on the lake. I had heard tons of stories about how great the fishing was there and now I’m a believer.  Here are some pics of the fish that we caught.
