would've, could've, SHOULD'VE! ;D C'mon Phes...overcast and light winds make for great conditions. I went out Sunday afternoon, ran a whopping few hundred yards from the ramp and caught the middle of the flood tide. Had one frozen squid in the freezer at home and was able to bucktail a couple keepers and 1 short. Kept one of the keepers for the table. Probably didn't even burn 2 gallons of gas!!!

Stopped at a farm stand on the way home, picked up some local asparagus and peas. Got home by 6pm, put up the Brown Basmati rice on the stove (takes 45 mins), called a lady friend to come over for dinner, cleaned the boat, filleted the fish, which was still alive, don't get any fresher than that! For perfect cooked fish everytime, I pre-heat the oven to 375 with either a cast iron skillet, coated lightly with olive oil, in the oven while preheating, or I have these 2 smaller casserole dishes that hold 1 fillet perfectly, cook for 12 minutes and comes out perfect everytime! Sauteed an onion to mix with peas, then added both to the brown rice. Sauteed the asparagus. Meal came out AWESOME!

Lady friend offered to do the dishes while I sat on the couch with a full belly! After the dishes were done, got me some desert (if you know what I mean ;) ), 5 minutes later desert was done! :o and she was like ::) Half hour later she was on her way home, I was on the couch on my laptop surfin the forum....Ah, life is GRAND!

Now it's Monday morning, back to the grind:(.....c'mon Friday!:)
