I am ready for some catfishing.

Every time We have a break in the weather like today it has me wanting to get my pontoon out. It won't be long and crappie will hopefully be biting. I might take my toon out after Sturgeon first if the weather gets nicer (warmer).

Anyway, I got to looking at pictures and that got me to thinking about my favorite fishing trip of the year.

Mine has to be my float trip from Swan Falls to Marshing. It was a 32 mile float trip that my son Jacob and I did over the course of two days. This trip was a catfishing safari. We both caught big cats and we had a great time doing it. My Boat was a Sportsman's 9 (aka outcast FC9)

My son used a Creek co ODC Sport ( AKA Banana boat).

I am not going to go over the trip again I am just telling this one with pictures. My 2011 trip of the year was amazing. I hope to do it again this year. Ron

Well Ron, that looks like fun! and I bet if you hooked a 20 lbs Steelhead it would even more fun and better tasty! but who dont like fresh catfish.

I have several friends that fish for Steelheads. I have fished for salmon in Alaska. I have never cared that much for either of them. Any 20 pound fish would be fun but between a 20 pound steelhead and a 20 pound cat. The cat would be the better fight by far. Trout and Salmon are more acrobatic but cats pull harder pound for pound.
