Having fish instead.
-down at the crik again with the lovely Ms. kx59. Couldn't have asked for better weather.



headed out to the bay to fish the oyster farms



We didn't burn up the world but I caught three, ranging from 18 to 21 inches.
Look puny in the photo, but hey, took it with my cell phone so whateva



Best part was just being down on the water getting sunburned, dirty, sweaty, skeeter bites, fish slime...more or less the perfect day.

Sounds like a perfect day. Good for you!

A good day indeed,

For you and the chicken...

For the fish not so much.

LOLz, Jim

LOL.. the chicken's bad day came sometime before I picked 'er up at the grocery.

for anyone that's give's a d...., that's two black drum and their tastier cousin the red drum in the middle, more commonly referred to here as a red fish.

I'm jeleous you have the weather to be out on the water!

(I got my project boat seaworthy just as the decent boating days were winding down. It's looking like she won't launch until spring now.) ](*,)

We've fished as late a January, depending on how cold a winter we get. Late fall and early winter are prime redfish season.
The wind chill on the boat is a bit rough though. During the winter we look like a boat load of ax murderers - coveralls, stocking caps and face masks when we are up and running in the boat.

you guys are having bad weather allready? down here in Oregon its still been in the 80s mostly.

Say Matt...
posted any pics of the project boat lately?

So...thought I might have fish tonight but nothing was biting
We are having the bait instead



These have to be the all time biggest bait shrimp I've gotten. It was all they had at the bait camp. They were scaring the fish away.
Pricey..$16 a quart. They were all still alive when we got back to the house, so it's into the pot with some shrimp boil for them.

with bait that big what were you trying to catch a great white?

heh, you'd think wouldn't you? smaller bait works better. I have no idea why the shrimpers had nothing but steroid monkey shrimp this weekend.
