    Default Fishing in a canal

    We have a canal behind our neighborhood that I occasionally take my boys too to catch catfish. We have use chicken liver, bologna, and earthworms with very little luck. We still have fun though. My cousin came down and he brought this stink bait called secret7. Man we caught at least 15 catfish in 4-5 hours! 4 were keepers, but my boys had a blast catching the tiny ones. I am taking this stuff to where the big cats live in a reservoir about 20 miles from my place. I will report back with the results. It might have been a lucky night or not. Here is a pic of my boys (in orange) and their cousins.

    We used to use dough balls soaked in vinillia. Let them sit in the fridge for a couple of days.

    It worked and smelled better than some of the new concoctions on the market now.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Nothing better than seeing a bunch of kids fishing. Thanks for sharing.

    I thought it was cool watching them and how fearless some of them were. My sons were teaching their cousins how to cast properly which made me a proud daddy. They would forget about fishing at times and were playing tackle football which was funny to watch as well.

    Well...at least it wasn't tackle fishing. You know how kids invent their own games.

    I missed this thread. But, was taken back to when my kids first started fishing. LOL

    Fishing takes patience. Taking a kid takes great patience. Taking that many kids requires sainthood! LOL
