Vacation at Okatibee

My dad and i got to Okatibee Wednesday afternoon and camped thru Saturday night. We had a great time together and got to spend more time talking man to man than we have in the last 5 years combined. We both caught our limit nearly every day and also ran trotlines at night with some friends. But the highlight of our vacation was talking my wife into bringing my little girls for the day on Saturday. My wife hates camping even if it is in a camper but i talked her into it. I have 2 girls ....a 1 year old and a 2 year old. My oldest girl(Adela) is scared of loud noises so i knew it would be a struggle to get her in the boat but i finally convinced her by hooking one of the live white perch i had already caught back to a jig and let her pull it in. Then she got in the boat and we started trolling. Just out from the dock from where we started trolling i found a school of tiny white perch, but their were hundreds of them. My daughter had the best time catching them with the dip net. I will let the pictures finish telling the week's stories

This is how tiny the school of white perch were, but they were perfect size for Adela to play with

Looks like y'all had a great time. Man, that a big catfish. I wish you'd catch all those out of there. Lol It's just about time to start pulling cranks at Okatibbee and I'm ready.

We were there Saturday afternoon, few fleas on the water but it was nice
