Miscellany: May 2007 Archives
My kids went fishing the other day. I was busy at the house and a friend of my second-oldest was spending a couple days with us. Several of them decided to go fishing, so of course the 4 year-old has to go if bubbas are. So she takes her Dora the Explorer pole down to the pond and catches this whopper:
That's bigger than a lot of the bass I've caught lately!
UPDATE: The fillets on this fish were a half-inch thick. And they were goooood. Yummm.
We have a family of egrets that live near the pond and come down almost every day to fish. Here's some shots of one of them this afternoon.
I usually go fishing in the evenings during the summer. We have a pond about 100 yards from the house that's close to three acres big. I like to spend as much time down there "throwin' at the fish," as a friend of my late grandfather's says. I caught six or eight tonight. All bluegill. In the following pictures, you can see the fly rod I use and the Woolly Bugger fly that works wonders on the bass and bluegill in our pond. It's suppose to emulate a leech. We don't have leeches in our pond, so I don't know why the fish love this little thing so much, but I can almost always catch fish with it.

Sorry about the problem with the comments not working. I usually get spam comments that I have to delete, but hadn't gotten any in a while, so I tried to leave a comment and found out that the anti-spam stuff I'm using in TextPattern probably won't work the way the website is set up right now. I'll just have to leave comments on moderation and delete all the spam, I guess [sigh]. I'm not looking forward to that. Spam takes up a lot of a blogger's time. It's ridiculous.
No sense whining about it, though, as idiots are a dime a dozen and the Internet has given them idiot wings.
Comments should be working fine now.
