Fishing 2012

I never considered my sense of taste to be superb. Smell, that's my strong suit. I'm like a coonhound.

 

[woodworkingboy]

You like smell, Chris..... I should send you some fermenting soy beans. I love the stuff, it can show that smell can be deceiving.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting.

Freshwater fish can get muddy from foul water and algae blooms, also some freshwater are scavengers and the bottom feeders can also get off flavoured, saltwater fish don't get that. that I know of, but taken at a decent time, I have no qualms eating trout and other freshwater fish.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Saltwater fish have to drink a lot more water than freshwater fish, something about the salt balance in their bodies. Freshwater fish have to produce a lot more pee. Remember that when at the fish market.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Interesting.

Again, I say.

Hit Texoma today with the fly rods, This is one of the fish that my buddy caught.

Nice snapper!

Nice snapper!

I don't think that is a snapper. ?? Nice fish though.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I meant striper, I think it's a striped bass.

 

[maggies dad]

Yep, its a striper.

Hella of a day today, 10 lobster, a grouper, and two other fish, trigger and a hog. Pictures tomorrow, so tired tonight.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Holler at John to muster on station for a foot massage!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yeah, really. I'd offer one if it were possible, but I wouldn't want John to freak out.

 

[vharrison]

10 more lobster yesterday, the current was ripping so not an easy task. The best part of the day though was seeing dolphins in the wild actually jumping and playing. I have only seen the jumping once maybe twice before. It was a mom with her kids doing the jumping. SO COOL.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't know who has it better - you or Fiona!

 

[woodworkingboy]

V, you love dolphins. How about a jumping dolphin tattoo for yourself? I'll contribute a few bucks toward the art work!

 

[vharrison]

Nah Jay, I would never get a tattoo. My daughter got one on her foot, a butterfly and I literally cried myself to sleep. Just not for me. I wear a dolphin necklace and earrings every day though!

Well, my children are grown, so the weekends are ours. Instead of going to the bahamas over labor day, we are just taking a vacation right here at home. Right nice not to have to trek through Miami International today! Instead, we will be back on the water. Today is a lay day, headed over to the sand bar and get on a raft.

 

[woodworkingboy]

V, there has been some stuff on the news about the hazards of some types of sunblock. Have you checked it out to be safe?

 

[vharrison]

Jay, no, have a link?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Gigi, if you google, "Is sunscreen safe?", various information comes up. It seems a bit sketchy, but there are some guidelines about different chemical ingredients that might best be avoided, and shelf life concerns. This article has some basic info:

[woodworkingboy]
