• Monroe Cleanup

    I had a great time. We should do this everyday. Dang though, need more energy to do this, and a better back. I'm used to just pushing a button, dropping the boat in the water, and not catchin' fish. This is totally different. You know, having to drive and launch, and all. And then the bouncing on the water in those 20 mpg winds. All that wreaked havoc on this old mans back. Have to take it easy the next few days.

    Here are some of the pics I took.


    Caught Shu taking a break sneaking into his lunch basket. Ask him about his peanut butter and jelly and butter samiches next time you see him. They are mmm good! We took a break from the wind at a secret cove Speckanator showed me a while back. A heck of a lot less wind here.


    Caught double my limit this fine day, good deal.


    A paddle boat obviously, I thought I'd share.


    Yep, that's flycaster underneath all that. He was trying to hide from the wind too.


    Flycaster, uncovered! Great crappie.com uniform btw.


    Billadelphia's boy said he loves Crappie.com so of course I gave him a nice perf material I love crappie.com shirt.


    Pontoon Pappy's Grandson wins big fish.


    Floridaboy and his boy (the one hiding behind the crappie).


    Billadelphia's boy also won the garbage pickup contest and took home some cool Mr. Crappie goodies.


    Floridaboy's boy also took home a little Mr. Crappie goody. They caught a nice mess there for sure.

    We certainly missed all those that could not attend. Hope to see you all next time.

    Thanks for putting this one together Specktacklure, and Flycaster and eveyone else that helped as well. Great fish Danny.

    Speaking of Danny, dang it if I did not get a pic of our visitor from Louisiana. He bought some awesome pee can pie. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow when I fish with him one last time before he flies his 5th wheel back to his home state. I did get a great pic of Mae with my Mom though:


    Turns out Mae's moms birthday and my moms birthday are on the same day. My mom loved spending the time she did with Mae and Danny.


    And I still want to know what the heck this stuff was. It's good though, gotta say.

      Good times by those that could make it, and I hope to be there one time soon. Good pics of everyone. My boss has got to get tired of looking at me one day soon.

      Flycaster posted this recipe - Spiced Pickled Loquats
      5 lbs firm loquats, stem and blossom ends trimmed (leave the skin and seeds)
      pickling syrup:3 c sugar, 2 1/2 c water, 3 1/2 c cider vinegar, 1 tbs whole cloves, 1 tbs whole allspice, 1 stick cinnamon
      Bring the syrup to a boil, put in fruit and cook until tender. Put fruit in sterilized jars, fill jars with hot syrup, and seal.
      Let your jars sit for at least a couple weeks for the flavors to develop. These make a fabulous appetizer if you remove the seeds and stuff the loquats with plain chevre.
