Got a fishy phone call from Shu this morn....

Got a fishy phone call from Shu this morn....and he had the itch to fish.

So I: Woke up, fell out of bed,Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the boat in seconds flat...

Shu holding up our double limit. All over 12 inches. Really some nice looking fish. Had a great time Shu. Only fished for 2 hours, but that all we needed to get back in touch with mother nature. Loved it Shu, stop by any time.

Nice trip! Ya clean the scooter?

The Leatherback, heck no. Would not know what to do with it. All creatures involved are still well and swimming, well except a few minners.

I saw Monroe a couple of times this morning, and a couple of other lakes, and thought of how good it would be if I wasn't working. Glad to know someone ignored the weather fools and gave it a shot. Nice fish fellers. Shu got that smile thing going on.

It does, it has exactly one stair. And if you count the stair to enter at the font door, there are two!

Enjoyed the morning, nice place to fish and nice fish, Thanks for the trip but still think it's cheating to have the boat in the water all the time and not needing to even start the engine.
Aren't all turtles protected now?? Fried would taste good.--shu

Those Griffin fish are really showing some color this year....Slab you forgot to ask Shu the most important question of the morning "where's the DONUTS"???
