EricM, Chick, catfish, 8-31-2010, Had to find my boat first
#1
It has been so long since I've gone fishing that I had to hunt for my boat in the tall weeds in the back yard. Seems that I am now the proud owner of a "yard boat". All I need now are a "yard car" and a couple of appliances on the front porch.<br /><br />The boat was full of bait - grasshoppers, mice, snakes, a family of raccoons,......well, not really, but it sure could have been. Mary and I have just returned from a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to see the grandbabies, and now the cooler mornings have me excited about fishing again. I topped the charge on the batteries and hit the water this morning - dragging weeds wrapped around the axle and Tongue...........<br /><br />Beautiful day. the first blue cat - a 12 pounder - fell to a live gizzard shad of about a pound. Sheesh!! Others were taken on bluegill and skipjack, so I guess they're not too fussy right now. The fishing was great but the catching was slow. No matter. I was thrilled to be out. I talked with some friends and waved at others as they motored past - all in all a very nice morning.<br /><br />The 12 pounder was a bit camera shy and departed the boat before I could get it's picture, so I took a quick snapshot of the next one into the boat - a 5 if I remember correctly. Not too important, it was just a day dedicated to fun fishing!
