Took the wife and kids out to Grapevine today to try and get some catfish for the freezer. Bite was slow, but managed 3 channels, 1 buffalo in the castnet and one gar.


My oldest reeling in one of his three.

My biggest fan.

Three of my four, the youngest boy fell asleep exhausted on the way home, with the days catch.

Had a good time and added a few to the freezer.

That's the way it ought to be.....

Outstanding!

looks like they had a blast!!!!!! good job dad!!!!

The way life ought to be for a kid. Seconds to fishinguru: Good Job Dad!

Good Job Dad!
I remember those days with my dad

Nice fish and looks fun.. I plan on heading out to Grapevine this evening, any suggestions for bait or spots?

We have fished out at Marshall Creek. Second to last spot on the road that goes to the right at the boat ramp. Went out last sunday and caught 6 there. Decent spot especially with kids as there is plenty of room to wander around without them falling in the lake. Only drawback is absolutely no shade.

Take a castnet and you can get plenty of shad. I got lucky and got the bufallo on my second throw of the net so he got used for bait.

Looks like a good day with the family.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Can't beat a good day with the family like that

awesome pic, looks like u guys had a great time

Those are some great memories your kids will have for a long time.

Sweet! Great job Dad!

Thanks everyone.

At the end of the day, tempers where starting to get short due to the heat and the fact they are not used to going for 10-12 hrs at a time. I try to remember when I take them how it was when my grandfather took me and how I wore on him. Lol, I imagine he would get a chuckle out of seeing me deal with all the "put that down", "stay away from there" and "you just went five minutes ago!"

All in all it was a great time and we are going to go again on friday.
