Fish In a Barrel... Steve's Farm
Steve's Farm in Walnut Hill, FL, pay to fish catfish ponds and fresh produce.
Fish in a barrel, its what I call catching at catfish ponds.
And its definitely catching and not fishing, but for a couple of kids it makes for a priceless afternoon.
HAH! Priceless, there's a joke, my entrance fee was $15.00 for catch and release and the kids were free.
The fish were $2.10 per # and we took home 30#s of fish, plus bait, snack/drinks and gas... Well, you do the math.
But yeah, the day was priceless for my baby girl & I together.
She caught the most fish, the biggest fish and was a hoot to watch and encourage.
Her biggest fish experience to date has been a good sized Bream, she was screaming when the first cat hit her rod.
It was a nice 4#Channel and you'd thought it was eating her alive. LMAO!
Then later she caught our biggest kitty of the day, a 6.5#
By the end of the day she was an ol'pro and slamming them.
Nathaniel came with us too... Did I mention that this was actually his 10th Birthday Fishing Trip?
He turns ten on the 11th/Veterans Day... Ten years, where does the time go.
It was his choice, fishing the catfish farm or a new hay bale archery target.
He thought it was just gonna be Daddy and him as usual, but I brought lil'sister and he wasn't really keen on the idea.
His bi#!*ing gave him some bad mojo for the day, his rod was barely touched, he resorted to grabbing my rod at every opportunity.
No pics as usual of fish on our cleaning table, it was raining when we got home to clean'em.Ragnar Benson:

Story I forgot to tell...
Nathaniel hooked the biggest fish of the trip, but that bad mojo got him again.
He had an easy 18-20#er on the line, three feet from shore he pops it off by trying to high stick it onto the bank.
The boy almost cried.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
