2013 Slpashout Party

It was another perfect day here in the Upper Mississippi River Valley to help us celebrate our Splashout/Green Bay Packer Party. As with every year the end of a season is fast approaching with the cooler temperatures and the changing of the colors on the trees. So with some help from friends Houseboating Excursions in the Mississippi River Valley decided to warm things up a bit and what better way to do it then on a Sunday watching our favorite football team the Green Bay Packers. Our fellow houseboaters joined us in celebrating the end of the season, we all brought a dish to pass and we all ate fish we caught all season long. We posted some photos to show our Master Chef batterfrying our fish with his secret recipe, our Number 1 Donald Driver(Green Bay Packer Retired Wide Receiver) Fan pouring us a touchdown celebration Apple Pie drink, wearing her Donald Driver signed tennis shoes, and our cheerleader showing off his new sunglasses.
It was a successful weekend and a great Packer game, we couldn't have asked for a better end to another season here at Houseboating Excursions in the Mississippi River Valley. We also attached a link to our album on Picasa for all to see the captions.

Big Bass Buddy

It was an exciting weekend here at Houseboating Excursions in the Mississippi River Valley, we caught the biggest largemouth bass we have ever caught in our entire lives. It measured 22 inches and we estimate it weighed about 10 pounds. We are normally just crappie and sunfish people but it was exciting to catch something like this, we took photos and shared it with friends and our blog and the sportsman in us released the bass back into the Mississippi River for someone else to catch and enjoy. We did very well catching plenty of crappies and sunfish which is great because we love to eat them and once in a while we even catch a catfish which are very tasty also. We haven't had any luck catching any northern pike which we are told is like eating a poor man's lobster, but there is still time left and the fish are hungry, afterall this time of year is the best time for fishing.
