Okay so at 6:00Pm today Saturday April 23rd 2005..lol me and the girlfriend headed out to go do some river fishing for channel cats.
Well our night started out heading to Dunnville at the Grand River talking to two OPP officers about directions to the Cement Plant. we got there and it was too windy, so we decide to go pay the 7.00 to get into the Grand Island BBQ place and yeah, that didnt turn out too well, I got my car stuck in the mud and took like a half hour to get it out then a nother guy came in and got his car stuck in the mud also, so we were coverd in mud trying to help him get his car out.
so anyways, we asked for our money back at the gate cause we couldnt even reach the water with my car and so the fine lovely lady gave me back my money and we used it to go wash the car.....lol
By this time it is 8:15Pm and we still haven't dipped our lines in the water.
So I decided to go to Wellandport and use my BRAND new coleman propane lantern and so we got there and it was just a little breezie but just when we set up a van load of guys showed up and started being annoying within the first 5 minutes they were there, so I said screw this and was getting pretty annoyed that I still havent fished yet.
So now its now about 9:20 and Iam pissed and want to go home when I find a nice spot on the Welland River on River Rd. on my way home, so I stopped got the lantern lit, set up my pole, set up a Y branch and then fell on my butt in a HUGE pile of mud and almost slid into the River.
Now I am really Not a happy camper.
Anyways cated out my line once set it down and had one strike within 2 minutes, I went to set teh hook but I missed it.
So I re-casted out and the pole sat for like 5 seconds and then I got a hit and i set the hook and came up with a 4 inch Bull Head Cat and the girlfriend was already playing with the digital camera cause she liked how the flash made the lures glow.
So she insited on taking a picture, then I grabbed teh cat and one of his spines pricked my in the palm of my hand and so she took the pic and let him go.
I must say that after having such a HORRIBLE NIGHT!!!! just catching that one fish really made my day, and I want to go out tomorrow (weather permitting) and hoping that I have a better night.
