Fishing trip preparation

It seems like I've been doing a lot of food posts recently, I guess it's the easiest thing to post because well, sometimes it's the most exciting thing to happen in our day. :/

Well, tomorrow we're planning on going night fishing with our friends, Nick and Russell, up at Roosevelt Lake. Since the catfish are spawning right now, the plan is to catch about 30lbs of fish and have a fish fry the next day. This plan though is based on what Galen has been reading on fishing forums online. Supposedly, last weekend someone caught 60 catfish, there being no limit on the number of catfish one can take from the lake, so our hopes are high.

He's totally obsessed with the show River Monsters, and I think imagines our trip to be like the show...but we're just a bit more amateur than Jeremy Wade. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good photos even though we'll be out there in the middle of the night.

Back to the food. We've decided to pack spam musubi for dinner tomorrow. Don't hate on spam. Fry it up in a pan, with a scoop of white rice... so ono. For those who are unfamiliar, it's a popular Hawaiian snack that's highly portable and can be eaten at room temperature, perfect for a day at the beach/lake. We made ours with egg and oyster sauce. We made these for our family's Christmas potluck in NY this past year as well, but it was much harder since I didn't have my musubi mold. If you want to try to make these, invest in a mold, like this one, or a bamboo mat.

Here are the photos:
