After a long long time of not having a line in the water, The better half and I got out on the Iowa River for some catfishing last night. Fishing the river between Union and the middle of nowhere, we managed to drown some crawlers and not get hammered by the skeeters. The kittycats were nowhere to be seen, but the carp were present. Managed to pick up two carp in the 2-4 pound range while we were out there. They were caught on 6/0 circle hooks baited with some fat nightcrawlers. Had it not been for the circle hooks, neither of those fish would have been landed because they just sat with the bait so any hookset would have pulled out the hook.
The fish count for 2007 is Me: 0 The Cute One: 2
