Father's Day fishing

My dad came down Father's Day weekend so we decided to go try some cat fishing on the Snake River.  We went to a new spot that I hadn't been before...and more then likely won't go again.  I guess you just never know until you try though.

I found a monster crayfish that had washed up on shore.  The kids thought it was pretty cool as they didn't know those were cruising around in the river.

My daughter found a multi-tool on the shore which was pretty cool.  This is the second one I've found in a month.

I wasn't too impressed with this area.  At first I thought it might have been pretty productive as I thought I was getting some tugs on my line but it turned out to be the weeds building up out on the line and when it got to be too heavy it started putting a lot of strain on the line...which imitated the tugging.  It was a good lesson learned, and also disappointing.

Even though we weren't getting any action on the poles we had a good time just hanging out and watching the carp rolling and listening to the bullfrogs grunting.

Till well into the night when the kids starting zonking out.  Not even one fish this night...but that's why they call it fishing, not catching.
