[cool][#0000ff]Yes, thankee kindly, we did pull it off and a good had was timed by all. At least we all caught fish. Nothin' like the smell o' skunk to ruin a perfectly good flotilla.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]A flotilla it was. TubeBabe and myself in our Fat Cats, StickFigureFrank in his new Donut, Carp_Punisher and CATCHandreEAT in their pontoons, and Fishhound in his tin boat. Quite a group.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Frank was to be making his first floatation fishing trip. We got him launched without making a funniest videos clip and he was able to hang in there with us all day on his first kicking marathon. Nice goin' Frank.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]CATCHandreEAT accomplished his two goals...channel cats for dinner and a carp for bait.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Carp_Punisher worked on developing a backup moniker...Catfish Chastiser. He put a pretty good hurtin' on the whiskerfish today.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]TubeBabe took top rod honors. She was all business. She didn't hang around while the boys fooled around getting launched and all. She got her stuff together and kicked up a rooster tail getting out of the harbor and out to the kitty zone. She smacked em good...ending up with 7 channels and 4 bullheads. Her biggest went 23 inches and 5.0 pounds.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Me, I kept pretty busy for awhile getting the show on the road and making sure that Frank had a good launch. By the time I eased over into the prime area, TubeBabe and Carp-Punisher had barbed wire fencing around the good spots and I had to find my own kitty hole. I did manage a couple of channels and a few bullheads. I think I may have got big fish honors for the day, with a 24.5 incher that weighed right at 6 pounds. My second channel was about 3.5 pounds.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Fishhound fished around the floatation crew for awhile and then motored a bit east, where he anchored until we came in. He scored a mix of channels, mudders and whities.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]First timer Frank got lots of hits and did drag in a mudder or two, and of course lost the big one for the day. What would a fishing trip be without "the big one that got away"?[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Great trip everyone. It was fun. Let's start planning a "Gorilla Flotilla"...a nighttime trip for the full moon in August, whenever that is. Anybody know?[/#0000ff]
