(General Chit-Chat (non-fishing talk))

Memories of 1% ers!

I didn't already know I am a 1%'er! I was born in 1940 and remember most all of those facts. I often recall those times and wish today was still like then; i.e., discipline, respect, patriotism, simplicity and accountability. But, at the same time, I am happy to have a lot of the conveniences today that weren't available then.

Mike, you're living the dream! And from the pictures I've seen posted on the forum, you're not missing a lot of meals in the process!! Ha!

Advice from a pro

Back about 1970+, Bill was talking a seminar in Houston for B.A.S.S. I'll never forget him explaining that to satisfy his wife he promised to give up smoking and use the savings to buy a sonar unit (i.e. depth finder). She applauded the deal. So he quit smoking and bought the sonar unit, and started back smoking again! He didn't promise a time line to stay quit - LOL

Went fishing 🎣 in 58 degree Carnegie Lake this evening on a warm, sunny day with a light south wind. More than 25 fishermen were there. There was a late bite. Caught 4 black crappies to 10.5”, 2 bluegills to 8”, a white crappie and an eel. Cormorants were catching gizzard shad. Osprey were fishing.

In picture #5, there seems to be a bald eagle in the top of the tree in the background. True or imaginary?

Awesome! That little guy is pretty good on the rod technique.

3/11/24 Thanks Jerry! Got the jigs in the mail this morning. Will be catching fish with them as soon as this damn rain and wind lightens up.

What's the deal with those funny looking hooks?

Papa, that's a fine looking dual purpose instrument! Whether you're filleting a fish or a bad guy, you should be able to do a clean and efficient job. In this current environment, I have started carrying a pocket 32 for bad citizens, just in case. I have a good fillet knife at home.

Exactly what I meant when I mentioned the 70 years. That's the way of most filet knives.

Well, I'm nearly 84 now and my mental data bank has gotten so full of information, I have trouble finding the information I'm trying to recall - LOL!

In the here and now, I do have a couple of Dad's pocket knives plus his straight razor and shaving mug. He never had a filet knife; for panfish the pocket knife sufficed and for larger fish it was the butcher knife.

Fishing the Atchafalaya Basin.

Well I'm a "high land coonass" so I don't know doodly crap about the Basin except the "long bridge" and what I've seen in the movies. Maybe Mr. Fourchon can help.

Anyone remember these?

I've seen lots of those knives and it vaguely seems like I, too, may have had one myself many years ago.

Fishing with the kid

I bass fished a few times in a lake in north-central Louisiana that had some member of the pike family of fish in it. (This was in the mid-1960's.) They were considered a trash fish, and personally I considered them a nuisance. I learned to avoid them by never using a yellow skirted spinner bait.

I didn't know that fact about hogs. My lesson for today!

Beautiful plate of seafood and sides. Wish I could have been there to help you with that big serving!
