The Wapaoolah Experience

JUG FISHING - Catfish Fry on the Boat

Nothin' Fancy Catfish Jugs! (pool noodles) Zach thinks it's stupid to buy fish at the grocery store so we're heading out to our local lake in Nashville TN (Old Hickory Lake ) to do some jug fishing for catfish. We're keeping it extra simple and cheap. Nothing but a pool noodle, fishing line, hook, weight and bait. We decided it would be cool to catch, clean and cook the catfish all on the boat so we have brought out the air fryer. Fried catfish on the boat, why not!?

Wyoming

Every now and then you have some files that slip through the cracks and get lost on hard drives long forgotten. This week Zach and Mary have discovered one of those old gems!
