Calaveras Catfishing

My dad and I went fishing at Calaveras Lake last weekend. When we got on the water it was only 30 degrees but the day warmed up nicely. We each caught nine fish.

Fishing at Fayette County

I went to Fayette with my dad and I played hookey. We went Sunday evening and then camped the night. Then woke up early at 5:20 and we were almost the first ones on the lake.

 I caught the bass on live bait that we caught from the dock. We caught two of them at sundown around trees in the water.

 This is a baby spotted  catfish that my dad caught in the cast net.

 This is the first catfish I caught on rod and reel this morning.

 This is a spot that a fishing guide named Weldon told us about. It works the best in the morning or night.

 This is one of the feisty fish that I caught.

 This is a funny pose with my catfish.

 Look at the barbels on this catfish.

 Another feisty catfish.

 This is a big SQUEEKER.

 This is the last fish of the day. He is trying to get out of my hands.

I caught 10 fish total on this trip, 2 bass and 8 catfish. -- Clifford

My project this year is an exhibit about how you tell the difference between a blue cat and a channel cat.

Catfishing at Lake Somerville

This weekend may dad and I went on our first fishing trip of 2013. It was windy and warm and the fish were biting at Lake Somerville.
