Seems like me and the weatherman ain't gettin' on so well. Hmph. He says it's gonna blow and it's beautiful - twice this week! 'Course one day he was right on about a pretty day and I was too busy thinking about paint. Now they're calling for almost a gale of clearing wind (NW) Saturday and then doable, but not fantastic, weather for awhile.

Drumroll please..... The longest tagged tautog of 2005 was a 27 15/16 inch fish caught by a fellow from Marietta, Ohio. The prize, a nice rig, will be sent soon ~ unless he's going to come pick it up!

Of all the tacky little signs that I've ever seen in the boating catalogs; "The only thing that always works on an old boat is it's owner" is far and away the most accurate!

One out of four. That was what we fished in that warm, but windy, January weather. Of course, scheduling fishing trips works so much better when using the correct calendar page and December wasn't it! Ah well... Slice of humble pie with that crow please...
