Well after a couple of weeks being sidelined by various things, I was able to visit with Mr. Skunk on Saturday evening. Was trying to miss the weekend play boats but failed in that also :Rofl. Sunday Mr Skunk stayed home. Was a strange morning . Nice weather and variable winds. Tried my first outing with minnows lol. Was hoping to hit a bridge piling that is said to be productive. Well that didn’t work out lol. As I drifted with the current away from the bridge in defeat my minnow on a slip float setup was suddenly attacked the little light action rod was trying to abandon ship when I was able to rescue it from the edge. The little catfish bandit that attacked my minnow felt like a tank on the little rod lol. But I was able to arrest the little bandit. At just 1 1/2 pounds the little blue cat looked very apologetic so I pardoned him/her and sent it on its way.
later a small gill decided to visit and say hi to this old fellow and with a thank you I sent it home also. Last I got real serious with a creature that was determined to not visit with me. But after some negotiation I prevailed and a young skipjack herring came onboard for a quick hello. Was not in the mood to cut bail so again a pardon was in order.
So a three species day ended. The party boats were out in force and my playtime was over. Today I will stay away and remember those too soon gone whose sacrifices give us the the opportunity to to have such a great country. Thanks to my brothers and sisters who served with, before and after me. We all carry the burden of loss for those not with us.
