Bobby's Fish Camp 12/06/05

We left Demopolis in the dark about 6:30 this morning. 28º with frost all over the boat. Jim lifted a line off the bow of the boat and it looked like a gigantic, frozen, pretzel. We left here with about 6 other boats. Family Matters, Silk Purse, Destination Unknown, Morgan and Joyuss. We followed each other down the river in a cold, cold fog.

Our destination was Bobby's Fish Camp. Just a dock on the river to tie up to and when there are this many boats we raft off each other. Most of the year this is a camp and stopping place for fisherman on the river. They have a restaurant there which boasts the best catfish on the river. This time of year they are closed during the week but when we went through the Coffeeville Lock the Lock Master radioed all of us to say that he would call Bobby's to see if they would open it up for us since there were so many of us. Not long after we arrived and got tied up we were in the restaurant ordering our catfish dinner. There was quite a crowd as a couple of other boats showed in addition to the ones we traveled with. A good time was had by all.
