Got the bosslady's new rod and reel and all that jazz yesterday. NASCI 2500 ML/Fast TP1X

That's a big'n.

One of my favorite literary examples of the use of bat guano to make gunpowder was in Blood Meridian.

In my defense, I'll talk about my cats when it's nice outside, too. I've subjected @TnRiver46 to discussions about the monsters we've let into our home while we're actually fishing.

This isn't a cat but I keep the image around because it makes me laugh.

I know. I researched and made use of those motivations for about a decade when I worked in marketing.

People are shmucks. Especially hobbyists of any sort. Same as it ever was.

It happens. Gotta make sure you maintain your line on the turns as best you can. At least you guys had a decent runoff area. Poor Bean put it right into the wall a little while back.

I used to watch a lot of baseball. I've been thinking about kind of watching some more, so I watched videos of umpires doing umpire things, and now I'm cured of wanting to watch baseball again.

- Grass lines - shade lines - literally any wood

I can't hardly afford to be picky about what I catch.

Sitting in a boat is thirsty work.

If we can get her into skipjack she'll never want to catch anything else. lol

Yessir. As long as the fish want it the way she wants to give it to them. Luckily, her favorites really like it just like that. We're gonna see about branching her out a bit this year.

Them blocks are terribly useful things. My ego never was good for much more than getting me in trouble, anyway. I had fun watching her have fun. We got to heckle a heron, too.

That size finesse worm (also short curly tail worms) is my jam on a 1/16 or 1/8 oz shakey head.

SWMBO and I caught a ride with @TnRiver46 yesterday afternoon. She had a pretty good day on the water. Flat out whipped the both of us in the process. It was rad. On the way home she told me that she thought her reel kind of sucked, so I'm fixing up a surprise for her.

If I'm nothing else, I'm reliable. The other one's about to catch a fade if she doesn't stop messing with my lunch.

My supervisor just got back from her break.

Having seen your hooks, I hope that fish got itself a tetanus shot later.

About all I use are Mule Fishing Mule or Workhorse, or Owner blockhead EWG jigheads (depending on the situation).

I was taught cursive until jr high. Then I stopped using it altogether. By the time I got to college, almost everything I did was typed, and the touch-typing I taught myself while I was being forced to learn cursive became a far more valuable skill to have. So I can type really fast with good accuracy, but my handwriting is hilariously bad. Which is fine. Nobody but me ever sees it.

If I can get to it, I will fish it.

One thing that never fails to make me feel better is settling down by a nice, roaring fire, and listening to the helpless screams of my victims.
