Teams Location: Rockport, Texas
Some things that have been on order were back ordered and
will not be in by the end of the month.
That means a choice had to be made and the choice was to add another
month to this stay in Rockport. That will take the Teams through the nice
spring weather into the hot summer weather.
With a little luck we still have two or three weeks more of decent
weather. However the MOSQUITOES have
hatched from the rain of last week and they are pissed and hungry.
The adventures have been small but nice. Several nagging chores were completed and are
out of the way now. One cute item noticed while out and about was this
fisherman’s car at the Whataburger. That is a pretty neat strap on rod rack.
After the chores were finished it was time to fish a
bit. It turned out to be a decent
catching day for a change. The speckled
trout in this picture are all about 17” and very fat bodied. There are three in the cheat but immediately
after the picture was taken another was added to the chest.
My fishing rod is having a failure situation so it was
taken back to the Castle. Repairs should
be accomplished tomorrow morning. The
repair, whatever it turns out to be, will be covered in the blog tomorrow
night. In the meantime, it was supper
time then a few minutes rest and thinking.
The evening was cooling down nicely and the wind was calming so the
Truck took us back to the pier in case there was somebody there to visit.
Sure enough “Pop” was there. He is always a nice fellow to visit. We visited while he fished. One time we were so deep into a subject than
when a fish hit his lure it scared him so much he jumped three feet in the air
which caused me to jump a half mile. We
both burst out laughing at that. As the
evening wore on this is the sunset we were rewarded with.
Of course that was not enough. Pop had to catch another
nice fat trout. It was dark enough that
the flash had to be used to get the picture.
It was another 17” like the ones earlier.
In a couple of months he will be headed back to the
Dallas area to harvest a mess of crappie.
That sounds pretty good to me.
As you can see it was not high adventure at all but it
was fun adventures while trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
Nice trout catch.
ReplyDeleteYou catch a lot of fish, do you have a big freezer or do you eat them that day?
ReplyDeleteI had never seen a strap on rod rack. Guess you and I had dinner at Whataburger :)
Wow, nice fish. If you freeze them, do you freeze them in water? I heard that they keep fresh tasting longer than if just wrapped up and put in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteHaving never seen a fishing rod rack in my life before, well one that sit on the outside of a car, that is, I thought that was a set of wind pipes, each one a different note as the car drove. I couldn't imagine why someone would have a "harmonica" on the back of their car, except maybe advertising, but that's what I thought that was before I read the post below the picture. Please don't laugh too loud you will scare the fish.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do keep fish fillets, they are put in a plastic bag and stacked in the freezer. They seldom stay for more than a couple of days. Most of the keepers I throw back or give to someone nearby when they are caught.
ReplyDeleteI love your simple story-telling in the 3rd person point of view. Very different from most blogs I have read. Continue having too much fun please.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jill. The style is the only one I know. KISS is my motto.
