Thank you for the hospitality

Just got back to Michigan after spending a week in your beautiful state. We got to spend some time with my son, visit with some friends and catch a few fish. We didn't catch a lot, but that's not what the trip was about. Everyone we met, from the folks in the bait shop to the fishermen we met on the launches, were very friendly. Thank you to everyone. Here's a few pics.Attachment 258911Attachment 258912Attachment 258913Attachment 258915Attachment 258917Attachment 258918Attachment 258919Attachment 258921

Very nice, and you had time to spend with family!!!
Just out of curiosity, where were you visiting? I didn't see it mentioned.
Anyhow, glad you got to enjoy a little fishin' time with family.

The silver fish is a Freshwater Drum, aka Gaspergou, Rockhead etc. They do have at least two large "rocks" in their heads.

Awesome. I see the goo bite is still strong at poverty point. I was wondering if they missed me yet.... [emoji39]

Dave840 we were staying in Calhoun, Louisiana and fished Darbonne and Poverty Point. I see you're from Illinois, I was eyeing Rend when we came past it, read some good things about the lake. It's only 7 hours from home so it just got added to my fishing bucket list. Yes, those are goo and they put up a heck of a fight on a 12' crappie jig pole.

20watt, I had to post some goo pictures, the guys here in Michigan were giving me a hard time about only posting my buddies fish, just had to prove that i can catch fish, too

Great report.....come back often....

Glad you came down. Really enjoyed your post. I'm assuming that's you in the pictures 3, 4, and 5. That other dude is ugly from the word go. Just teasing :rolleyes:

Glad you had a great visit and got to catch some fish! Hope you get to do it again soon.. Nice posts and pics

Man looks like yall caught some nice ones to me! Thanks for sharing and glad you had a good time down here, come back anytime.

It has been a while since we landed a nice Goo that size. Johnny runs off with It muttering, Goo and Gravy, Goo and Gravy

Yeah that is me in 3,4 and 5. I waited on my pics till the end so I wouldn't break the camera. We had a blast while we were down. Working on a plan to hit the fall Darbonne gathering. I usually come around Thanksgiving but may have to alter my plans. My buddies last name is Bottum so I was calling him gooey bottum guide service for a couple of days. He took it well.

Always nice to hear you were treated well. Nice catch and report.

Sounds like you had a great vacation. Looking forward to seeing you at D'Arbonne in the fall.
