lo n slo

some days i’m Hank Parker and quite positive that i should hit the pro circuit. some days i’m Happy Gilmore and ready to break all my rods over somebody’s head.

done it a million times

trim it all the way up

wth?

i’ve been retired for almost 10 years now but still do renovation type work on the side up around 5 meet the guys for walking at 7:30 (gym is closed) helping with grand kids or side jobs or honey do’s (currently renovating our deck, punch list painting for a friend when we don’t have the grandkids, wife involved with online sign language interpreting/school for her students) i thought i’d be fishing more but still getting in a day or two too blessed to be stressed

me and my son were counting rocks in the little johnny this morning. after all was said and done we had caught 43 spotties. then i got hungry. the end

my hero

check this out this happened yesterday at the state park. smh

that was my plan today. i got to the ramp before sunrise and the lot was almost half full already. i was fourth in line and two others rolled in behind me, all fishermen though, so no problem. the spots were biting and i fished til noon, but by then it was already mad house. the Lake Norman State Park ramp is typically pretty chill, more so than any other ramp on this lake. but today was a total cluster. smh

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT B RAMP ETIQUETTE 101 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 1. Have your boat ready to launch BEFORE you back down onto the ramp! This means having your straps undone, motor toter undone, plug in, a fully charged battery, your tackle organized, coolers, kids, boogie boards, pets, and anything else you plan on taking with you in your boat ALREADY LOADED **** IN THE BOAT. 2. Let mommy, or grandma, or sweet thing, or whoever else is with you, PARK THE TRUCK while you motor up and pull AWAY from the dock. You can then ease back to the dock and pick them up. FOR GOODNESS SAKES! 3. If your jet ski slides off the trailer and nails my boat the LEAST you could do is say SORRY ABOUT THAT or something to the equivalent. 4. Cruising by the ramp in your STUPID WAKE BOAT over and over and over again while people are loading and unloading their boats is, at the very least, STUPID - LIKE YOU. Have a nice day ?

thanks

your strength is an inspiration and quite admirable. i could only hope to be half the man you are if faced with the same set of circumstances. God has blessed you with a very powerful gift.

Blue is a crazy person

agreed Jordan, Harris, and Falls a little further West are Randleman, Tillery, Badin, and High Rock

first but not the last ?

aint she pretty? ?

ok, some of y’all are gonna laugh but i don’t care. i am what i am. 95% of the time it’s 2 rods and my texas rigged plastics. certain times of the year i’ll throw a trap or weightless worms but that’s about it. most of the time i can catch them but sometimes i’m sure i’m fighting a losing battle. it’s ok with me.

nice ?

i have to do this to our bathroom vanity about every two months. i got it down to an art now. wimmen folk, smh

i decided to drop the Javelin in at Lake Norman State Park yesterday and the place was SLAMMED! hikers, trail bikers, and the parking lot at the ramp was as full as i’ve ever seen it. the only things closed were the rest rooms. i managed to catch an even dozen spotties too.

dang man, i couldn’t imagine. this is crazy.
