Great Evening - New Ideas...

One of the coolest things about putting together a blog like this is reading the emails and blog comments from our friends - A LOT of people want to see more picture’s of SASSY – easy enough - consider it done! A lot want to know about the numbers of fish we catch each day... How about the exact number … from January 18, 2010 to today Jan 7 - we have caught 599 KEEPERS weighing in at 1249 pounds! There is no telling how many we release (too small/too large) – I bet we send back half! On the right hand side of the blog I will do my best to keep a public record of the catfish caught – each time we go out...
ANYWAY - Rick has been sick and Sassy has had a few friends over the past few days - so, now we are back out there (Until it gets really cold)... Here are a few pictures of Sassy, Lake Gulls, and a Honey Hole Tree...

You never know who is watching you - I am sure this gang of Gulls is critically assessing our fishing ability... OR, as Rick said, they are betting on which one of us will catch the first fish - I told Rick, I am pretty sure that the one on the far Right will soon PUT EVERYTHING HE HAS ON YOU!
We have seen hundreds of Lake Gulls… There is something about seeing these things flying around that bring back great memories – maybe it is the time my dad read the book “Jonathan Living Sea Gull” from start to finish in ONE EVENING – I think it is weird the things we remember!!! I have never read a book in one evening - unless craming for a test - nor, have I ever stayed still that long EVER!
EVERYONE wants a fishing hint – well here it is - this a Lake Tree... If you can find this tree on Lake Waco - tie up too it and wet a line – there are PLENTY o CATFISH – you are at one of Sassy’s honey holes!!!!!
The water is VERY calm for a January evening - I guess that is to Sassy’s advantage - she can sniff them out better than anyone...
Sas never likes to take credit - we could not do it without her - Let me just put it this way – she is the Master of finding Honey Holes…she has put us on a BUNCH of catfish!!!

CARPE ANNUM!!!!

I had the GREAT pleasure of spending Jan 1 and most of today (Jan 2) in a workshop with my Tennis Official friends from all over Texas in Dallas.
So, we did not get to go out fishing today and I can tell you right now - Sassy and Rick are having horrible angler-withdrawal symptoms!!! They will recover tomorrow morning - we will be out there at 5:30am!!! Rick and I made it out to Lake Waco yesterday morning and caught a nice Carp. Here are a couple of CLASSIC Rick pictures...for y-our entertainment....

Here is our first catch of the day - a 14 pound CARP! THUS, Carpe Annum - Seize the Year!

Here is Rick kissing the Carp - just before we threw her back...
