Well, I went Crappie fishing Thursday with an old friend that I met in 7th grade. He’s done a lot of all kinds of fishing and we came back with 7 Crappie and one Blue Gill, so my wife and I cooked up 4 Crappie for dinner. I only caught one Crappie, but we split the catch down the middle. Had a good day on the water and the fish were very good - they grew up in cold water - were firm and sweet.

I thought someone posted a really simple way to paste photos directly into posts, without having to upload into another site first. Was that you, Blue, or does anyone recall the post?

Glad u got to go and bring home some supper. one of the guys i fish with was in little league with me. Nice having OLD friends like that.

If u want i can PM u my email and I ll post them for u

Got to go fishing? Seems like I've heard that somewhere before . . .





Oh yeah!



Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly, you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream

Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin', and I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

And I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
And I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

I can relate. I can hardly find the time to fish. Maybe when I retire . . .

Friends fishing off of Marathon yesterday hauled in a "square grouper!" It was waterlogged and after snapping a few pics they left it. True catch and release.

:beer:
