PACKED UP THE KIDS AND TOOK OFF FOR THE BRIDGE. WELL REALLY WE HAD NO CLUE WHERE WE WERE GOING BUT WE ENDED UP AT THE BRIDGR ON RIFFE. IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ONLY AT THE END BY THE PARKING LOT SO WE WENT TO THE OTHERSIDE. I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT TAKING THE KIDS DOWN WHERE EVERYONE WAS AT. THERE IS SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HATE HAVING KIDS AROUND WHEN FISHING SO I TRY TO KEEP A DISTANCE. BUT WHEN WE WERE NOT CATCHING ANYTHING WE ENDED UP MOVING DOWN AND FISHING OFF THE SIDE WHERE EVERYONE WAS. STARTED OUT FISHING BETWEEN THE TWO BRIDGES WITH NOT MUCH LUCK WHEN SOME PEOPLE BEHIND US CALLED IT A DAY WE MOVED AND THAT WAS WHEN WE REALLY STARTED CATCHING THEM. I GUESS I DIDN'T COOK MY SHRIMP LONG ENOUGH SO IT WAS FALLING OFF BEFORE IT EVEN HIT THE WATER. A FRIEND WHO WAS DOWN THERE GAVE US SOME OF HERS AND TOLD US TO GO TO THE BOTTOM AND REEL UP ABOUT 3 REELS. SO WE DID AND THAT IS WHEN CHARLES PULLED IN HIS FIRST ONEA NICE 15 INCHER IT WAS ALL UP HILL FROM THERE WE ENDED UP WITH 1O THAT WERE ALL 14 TO 16 INCHES. IT GOT A LITTLE WINDY BUT IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT DAY. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WAS DOWN THERE AND DIDN'T MIND MY 4 YEAR OLD WHO WANTED TO WACK ALL OF THE BIG ONES AND LET ALL THE SMALL ONES GO. YOU GUYS WERE ALL GREAT. WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK I WANT TO SMOKE THE NEXT BATCH
