Saturday was a day of fun. We woke up slow, packed a cooler with a few drinks and a lunch, and set off towards the Bogue Chitto River, since Justin has been itchin' to go fishin' for quite sometime now.
Some of our friends own land down by the river, along with several kayaks and canoes, so we asked if we could make use of them on such a fine Saturday afternoon. With their permission, we picked out a canoe, put it in the water, and set off on our adventure.
Shortly after we began making our way down the river, we saw fish jumping everywhere and decided to try our luck. Nothing. 30 minutes without the slightest nibble, except for those sneaky underwater logs that liked to snag our hooks with every opportunity. It was time to move. We stopped a couple more times throughout our trip to fish, but no luck then, either. So, eventually we put the rods and reels up and just enjoyed our paddle.
We took things at a slow and relaxing pace. We stopped to take closer looks at trees, wildlife, and to go for a little swim. Other than turning out like lobsters in the end (due to the unfortunate event of leaving the sunscreen at home), it was an exciting day on the river!

Beautiful afternoon by the looks of the sun dappled water. What a lovely way to spend a day.
