Grumble grumble... stupid blue skies

Post by Prof. Salt »

I’m not a fan of fishing or hunting on these bluebird days. Yes the sky is pretty, but I just want to sleep …much like the deer and fish. Aside from the annoying blue sky, today had all the other indicators of a great dropping tide afternoon bite, so I went despite the pretty conditions. For once, the crawlers were all over the place under the clear sky, and I got within casting range of 16 of them. A dozen of those came to the kayak for lip removal. 🙂 I'll take those odds any day!


I paddled 17 miles, caught some good fish and then got, as Miracle Max would say, “a nice paper cut with lemon juice on it” by getting careless while filleting my fish. Luckily the bone stopped the blade before it could go deep. Oh well, no nerve or tendon damage so slap a bandaid and some antibiotics on it and head to the gym. Those weights aren't going to lift themselves. 😆


...turns out anything with hand grips will open up the cut and make it bleed, so I quickly transitioned to "leg day".

Killer day! Can't wait to "suffer" through those fishing hardships.
