Honeymoon Fishing Trip - Day 2

Woke up at 7AM-ish, clothes on, coffee swigged and hit the dock! Bobby's day today. He started off small (2 Iowa sized bluegill) but then.................Monster bluegill on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He caught 2 of these babies!!!

Now THAT'S a bluegill! Are we having fun yet? You bet!

Saw another gator. I was watching him watching me watching him! Here are some cool pics from the dock:

Check out the heron's on the end of the dock!

There's a gator out there, just doesn't show up in the pic. Isn't the lake gorgeous?

And here is Bobby on the dock getting ready to fish.
Got a little hungry so off on an adventure. Drove south on a quest for goobers (fresh boiled peanuts) and Church's fried chicken. Found the chicken and yum is all we can say. Just how we both remembered it. Then onward on the quest for goobers. Asking everyone where to find a stand we were told to find the lady in the white pickup. No suck luck but we did find them and got our goobers. 3 pounds of 'em! Bobby's still eating them as I type!

A little grocery shopping rounded out the morning. Save-a-lot followed by Winn-Dixie (haven't been in one of them in quite a while). Bobby was freaking out about all the yummy weird stuff he likes to eat that you can't get in Iowa (tripe and ox tails for his menudo, pickled polish sausages, cajun fish breading, and we got collard greens and mustard greens) He's a happy camper. Time for a little r-n-r in the cabin before our evening fishing adventure. Landlord was kind enough to give us a catfishing starter pack so we'll let ya no how that goes later!

More tonight!!!!

Wow, what a great day! Went back out fishing around 2 and stayed until about 7:30. Caught some more monster bluegills and Bobby caught a catfish, saw another gator, had a big ole snake swim by and had a turtle eat a fish right off our stringer.

Bobby filleted the bluegill and we fried them up for supper. Check out the pics below.

Isn't he pretty? And the fish too!!!!!

This one was bigger than he looks in the pic!

Mine again. Please note Bobby's whole finger fit in the mouth of this one!
Yeah Bobby got a little sunburned today but with fish like these it's well worth it!

And here is some local wildlife we have been seeing. Cool crane on the dock when we came out this afternoon.
And a neat snake went swimming right by our bobbers
If ya click on this one and look at it bigger you can see the gator!!
This is the fish cleaning station provided and my good hubby filleting our supper
And here they are all ready for breading.
And here is supper all cooked up. It was YUM!!!!
So as a GREAT day 2 comes to a close, Bobby is already snoring here next to me and I am ready to join him. Planning to hit the docks at 6 AM tomorrow. Can hardly wait to see what we catch and see tomorrow. See ya'll later!
