Went saltwater fishing today. Now I remember why I don’t go fishing often...I suck at fishing.

Where’d you go?

Where’d you go?

Keyport pier.

Keyport pier.

Ahh ok. It’s not really the best time of year for saltwater fishing. Fall and spring when the stripers and blue fish are running is better. Fall and spring are better times to fish for everything compared to summer anyway.

You don't catch fish or a nice one everytime ya go out. I'm not some king trapper, but I'm trying and learning it's actually nice just like most things it all has its ups and downs.

Look how game he is!
I almost let that hen out but figured I better not. Lol

He’s also very trusting or stupid take your pick.

He’s probably just a quick study.... and learned up quick on the house rules... in particular the one about the boy not sticking a chicken or a cat...

... which does beg the question.... does your boy grasp the concept of loopholes?... because that peacock ain't a chicken or a cat

Haha! When I put roosters on tie cords the peacock messes with them sometimes. My son is under strict orders to chase him away by any means necessary, just don’t kill him. So Jeepers the peacock gives him a wide birth.

If I had to live on what I could catch with a pole... I’d either have to better my game or buy some skinny jeans

The trapping thing comes to me a little easier... but if I had to live on it... well there would probably be a lot of possum casserole, but I’d stay out of the skinny jeans!

Trapping to me is three things:
1) critter knowledge
2) weather
3) hussle and work

Sometimes when I gotta full tank of number 3, number 2 runs low, or its the other way around... for putting up big catch numbers, #1 don’t mean much and might actually slow you down...

But when you find that stubborn critter, #1 can make the difference...

Not schooling that stubborn critter before you figure out its stubborn is the trick ...

I’ve given a few critters PHDs

Want to guess which one of these two was harder to catch?

It's all a show... this is one of my cockerels fighting a hen through the wire

...and this is him after meeting her without the wire.
