It's Almost That Time

[rich]

I'll christen this thread with a few haikus I had written for Rosebud Magazine:

O Lord, allow me
At least a few fish this day.
My buddy, one less




Proverb for the skunked:
Blessed are the poor of catch
For they lie the best

Okay, now who's about to go out to the garage and untangle all the tackle they screwed up from last season.








Me.

Flounders are on the prowl. I like them, but I don't fish for them. They're great to eat in restaurants, but to catch them, well, I'm just not a good filleter. (filleyer?) Last time I caught a flounder I got my sharpest filleting knife out. Once I operated on the dude, I had enough meat to serve it on one lone Ritz cracker.

Ever watch the mates on a charter boat fillet a flounder for you? Believe me they are surgeons without a medical degree. If I needed a triple heart bypass, I'd have a hard time choosing between a top surgeon from St. Francis Hospital and a good charter boat mate out of Captree.

Anyway, I don't fish for flounders.
