Nothing, just what my hands pretty much look like every day. Dirt farmer.
Now today , my head hurts.

Happy father's day

Some may call it stupid but I still think it's fun stuff.
Walking through the thorns to gather firewood or kneeling in the sand digging clams.
It's all a part of love and war

That's just the right. Things look worse on the left.
I'm a Joe dirt that plays in the outdoors. Scratches and cuts are a part of having fun , and yes alcohol kills the infection.
Time to get prim and proper for dining out tonight

No more pets for me. They bring on to much love to bare. I work hard and play hard, a band aid means stitches or surgery . Lol.

Fun stuff tomorrow includes digging in the MUD on my hands and knees

Ps. I been wearing gloves so my hands are nice a soft from the salt.

Don't be afraid, dirt is ok

hot tuna
Picked another hundred today. Granddaughter was queen of clams when it counted. My yearly 7 day fun stuff run comes to an end tomorrow.
Without a doubt already looking forward to next year. Same bat time , same bat channel.

Very well may be an end to all things fishing until fall.
May your lines be tight.
Bring on the ICE !

ICE!!!! it's going to hit 100 tomorrow in my parts,I'll be happy with some middle of Sept. COOL,silly season is only 2.5 m0nths away.

Post likely does not belong here but this is where I'm gonna put it  --
Been lurking on that 'other' forum for a long time since a regular I  respect suggested a peek.
Sorry to see it closing as those were hard fishing folks over there with a strange sense of humor that I liked.
Never quite came to joining as one place seemed enough.
Cant find it today at all and it was reported as closing soon.
Good fishing and lots of fun to all those guys-tight lines----

The owner of the "other" site built it himself and paid for its maintenance, and he said he was tired of keeping it up, as his other business interest were taking a lot more time.  He seemed like a pretty good guy and he enjoyed a lot of fair and honest fishing in the salt and the streams of PA, and made dynamite looking spinners.  I wondered if he was fishing for someone to take over, but I have the computer skills of a land snail.  There was some talk that the ISP would not get around to deleting it for a while, so I am sure there were a few surprised individuals when the day after the "lease" ran out, it had disappeared.  For the most part, it was a guy named Harvey who I suspect is also regular here, and Two Bob and I that pushed the ethical and legal side of salmonid fishing, there were some guys who are on the fence, and the vast majority, especially most of the PA and NJ regulars, were out and out snaggers, even if they think it is OK to snag fish up toward the head and around the mouth, and call it force feeding or flossing.   Every now and then I would get a useful tidbit of information there, but for the most part it was a source of aggravation, like Salmon Crazy before it.

Eagerly awaiting the first SR Salmon report- actual report- not somebody said.
Sure to be immediately followed by a gas shortage at pumps in northern NY leading to the Sr area.
To be immediately followed by poor reports as a fish or two don't make a run.
Also the immediate thawing out of 'past due' frozen foods by area eateries to feed the masses.
Also the occasional pro report wherein a small pod of 5 fish travelling up is made out to be said run.
Followed by reports of 5 fish dead from hot waters.

Truth. 

2 Kings caught in DSR yesterday---
Facebook for today shows the same lucky guy with another this AM.
THOUSANDS will run quickly after this rain-
HURRY -get up there for yours before its over.
( bring your own food)

Brother in law (s) got out on the lake today. Fish are biting. They are close and bellies were red.

They are also into nice browns over 200fow running copper line.
Sadly, I've been seeing big coolers full of browns so us bank anglers miss out.
Haven't seen a good brown run and spawn since 2009

So I coordinated my salmon date with my son. We will be coming Wednesday evening Sept 26, fishing Thursday and all day Fri, leaving for home Fri evening. Staying in a tent somewhere. If your at cannons, I can call and see about camping there.
He has been bugging me to take him and that's his available days.

Yes I'll be at Cannons 9/22 to 9/28,back again10/16 to 10/20.if the browns show in force may go again later for them and the Steel.

Cool. I contacted them and will be camping there.
October will be tough, probably sitting in a tree.

I was up on the Tug Hill about 7 miles north of the river all last week until yesterday.  The lack of volunteers and the myriad tasks associated with setup of a 40 target 3D bowshoot kept me from doing the scouting and fishing I had planned for afternoons, but I did  speak to a couple of angler/guides in the know at the bowshoot.  Our club's Director of Security was an oldtime friend of Mr Moose, Moose taught him to row on the West Branch of the Delaware, and who used to stay with Moose at Sportsman's.  My experience with this gentleman is that he does not exaggerate or embellish.  He said he was at the Hatchery on Friday, and there were 10 salmon finning in Beaverdam just below the ladder.  The other individual, who owns the Midriver, the old Brenda's, charters on the lake and said they have been catching dark fish mixed in with the bright ones for 2 weeks.  Coming home yesterday, I detoured off 81 to retie my canoe, and took 2 over to 13 to get back on 81, and there was a car at the Compactor, this was about 2 PM.  Three weeks ago, I heard Andy Todd, who heads up LO fisheries for Ontario, say that they had had a run of about 250 matures go through the ladder on the Ganeraska in the third week of July, that's early.  So a push could come any day now, and there are scattered fish coming in every day now. DSR and All Seasons reports also echo this information.

William Able makes #8
#9 due in December.
Gonna start a baseball team soon.
