Fish River

Last Wednesday Bill went for a boat ride on the Fish River which runs into Mobile Bay, eventually. A man here in the RV park takes folks out on the river and is very knowledgeable about the river and it’s history.

They left from the dock on Weeks Bay near the US98 bridge and headed north on Fish River.

There are many fish rivers in the world. I had been to Fish River located in Northern American. It was wonderful. I really enjoyed my fishing trip over there. This river is a part of Bering Sea.
