No Kayaks Today

[Darrells]

TxRiverRat and I went on a little walk-in fishing trip today.We walked into a spot on the Brazos that has been good to us in the past. It is about a mile walk and is just a little grown up at the moment.

We got there about 11:00 this morning and gathered up some bait, put some poles out and got to relaxing.

I like this section of the river. the water is up just a little so it is off colored right now.

Used my rifleman pack today. It will carry just about anything you want it to.

Fishing was a little slow but we managed a nice mess of Channel and Blue Cats.

Of course I had to make they were alright to eat. I fried up a couple of fillets and the the backbones of the two larger fish. There is a lot of meat on backs that people usually waste.

I'm not sure about your statement about the backbones , they don't look like there is a lot of meat on them in that last picture. :wink: :lol:

Those back bones look like something Sylvester the Cat would leave behind! :wink: I'm surprised to see the coffee pot sitting on a gas stove, and not Ronnie's grate over a fire.

Some fine looking catfish there mate.

What seasoning do you use on them?

They are considered a trash fish here but I quite like them.

Thanks for the report and pics. Always encouraging to read a (successful) fishing report

I often use the backbones as a fish stock for soup/stew; boil until the meat flakes off, and the bones certainly add a distinctive flavor.

You seem to have had that little river "honey hole" all to yourself. Good idea to putting up those NO TRESPASSING
signs 8) Keeps out the nosey tourists :twisted:
