    Here's where I set this evening. Goes on for a long ways- several hundred yards of prime turtle country. Hope I get one. Put 14 lines and the baits were taken on some when I checked on the way out. One was pulling as I walked up, thought I had the bastard.

    Shorts but hip boots.

    I felt like Rambo yesterday. Hip boots rubbed my ankle to where I had an open wound. In that water I was concerned then remembered some band aids in truck. Put one but it didn't stay. Had to cut the bottom off my t shirt to put like a turnicate but not so tight.

    I routinely let out the "Rebel Indian Yell" like the guy from Kentucky- really irks my two daughters. :D Came home and as I'm walking towards the back door- boots off/ shirt cut up and smelling rank- my wife is coming from the dog pen. wife jokingly yells, "How's my turtle man?" I tell her I'm fuckin Rambo.

    Thanks pal. Comforting to know you always have ma back.


    No, none. That was my great grandfather's favorite fish.



    Don't worry about me hun, I'd look good in a burlap sack.


    Only two turtles this morning. One slider/red-neck/stripper head and one yellow belly. If I were like shane I'd probably ask for some sympathy here and voice how broken my spirits are, currently, in reference to catching these snappin bastards. Maybe I should go meet Sensation and gig some flounders. How hard can that be?

    It's not hard, but it sucks b/c I haven't found a way to drink beer while floundering. You have to hold the gig in one hand and the lantern in the other. Sucks.

    Has to be a way to mount a light to a pole. Or a strong LED head light that attaches to your cap- maybe two, if necessary.
