What's with this weather? I ain't complaining mind you , just waiting for winter!
( This winter again, I prepaid my propane based on my last 5 years usage and looking like I'm gonna have bout 100 gallons excess)
9am more or less. While making up breakfast an ole memory came up. So...here ya go..
Back in the ‘70s I lived down in Seabrook Texas with close access to Galveston Bay and all it’s waters . I learned that bay area real good and always knew where I could catch fish in almost any weather. If we were planning a fish fry or feeding a bunch of people I could go out and get the spices we wanted, no problem.
So, being that I was a Speckled Trout catching fool I decided to take up fishing guide as a second job. Researched the licenses required and gave that part up real quick. Too much testing and the insurance on the boat as a professional boat were prohibitive.
So I just starting spreading the word that I would take people out as long as they paid for the gas and bait.
I actually made a few bucks PLUS I got to spend the day on the water fishing without it costing me anything.
One time I got a group of three guys down from Dallas. They were of course fresh water bass fishermen and showed up loaded down with tackle boxes and gear.
Their rods and reels were ok and we could make them work. But of course their lures were pretty much worthless. So I got them all set up and out we went to one of my “ honey holes” that I knew would have speckled trout since that was what they wanted.
I rigged them up with live shrimp below a popping cork and explained and showed them how to set the depth and how it was done. I boated a couple of fish right off. They were getting strikes but not getting the fish hooked and boated.
FINNALLY figered out what was wrong.. They were jerking the line to set the hook when they got a strike! The Specks have a real tender mouth unlike a bass and they were just tearing the hook loose. Once I finally convinced them to just reel the line in they started boating some nice fish. On occasion they’d miss one but I bet they boated 20 real nice fish each before lunch and were slap ass worn out. Promised they’d be back and they did but this time wanted to go off shore which I wasn’t comfortable doing so I put them in touch with my buddy who did off shore fishing and I got a full day fishing and a nice tip out of that deal.
Think that offshore trip was the one that someone hung a big ass shark and wanted to boat it. But we refused ( You DO NOT want a 15 ft shark live on board a 25 foot boat!) and cut it loose after he took pictures of it.
I sure enjoyed that time back then. But Hell I was 40 years younger and tough as nails then.
Near noon and I'm ahead. I went out to the barn to bag up some trash outta the big container out there. Thought I was going to have to transfer it to bags. But there was a bag already in the containor so I just smushed all the stuff down and managed to get it closed up. So, that project is finished a lot sooner than expected.
Shoot, think I'll teat myself to some lunch :-)
BBL
3:30 more or less. Just went out to the barn, experimenting with a project I had in my mind and good grief!! It's nice out !!!
I came in and cats went out. Need a revolving door. 
Weather here in GA is crazy, too. Warm, cold, warm, cold. It wouldn't surprise me if we get a good snow storm in March.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't have said that "S" word Monlady, you just asking for trouble, tempting faith. . :-)
ReplyDeleteI feeling almost too old and joint weary to do a lot of the things I used to do!
ReplyDeleteRaining here as I type! Crazy...!
Hermit, I hear ya!!! .
DeleteRain? you sure you not watching the weather channel on the big screen instead of looking out the window? :-)
I see you have computer related dislikes, I like Adobe reader but have Adobe professional which I like better. I can fill forms online then print them or digitally sign them and they are legal and I also have a signed copy on file, course, the other party has to sign and send it back so we both have signed copies.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I like is the ability to print to Adobe, any article on the web or file on computer can be printed to adobe,
I do have dislikes though, my number 1 dislike is Google, can't stand it but do use programs that require it.
I never did fish or have any interest in the sport but I'm sure you had a great time doing the waterworks with fisherman.
I think I might be commenting on two posts here, memory glitch.

Mickey? What's wrong with Google? Best search engine we have ever had. Yea, you still get the commercial sites, but just look passed them.
DeleteAbut Adobe, years ago I had a paid for version but now days so many people are trying to use it, it frustrates me that it pops up and demands that you upgrade to the lasted version all the time.
We all got dislikes and that is one at the top of my list.
Thanks for coming by today.
I wrote a long comment from my tablet and it would not post to your blog. I can not figure that out, sometimes it does and sometimes it don't. Your's seems to be the only one I have trouble with. Have to fire up this old computer to comment.
ReplyDeleteDang, I thought I left a message on your site, I must be loosing it. I know I tried to post a comment from my tablet, but it would not post. I thought I have posted from the tablet before, but maybe not.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what to tell ya Dizzy, all I know is tablets worked fine for Moses ,, But maybe his was a Jewish Tablet? Know a Rabi anywhere around there?
ReplyDeleteBen, thanks for the belly laugh, you got a good sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why I need Adobe but when it tells me to update it, I do.
ReplyDeleteLike that picture of the man hitting his PC, I often times feel the same way.
