Default Its illegal to fish...

for whales in Nebraska (and Oklahoma). Why do I live in such a
backwards state? Just the other day, I was thinking that this would
be a good time to get my 7' 96 weight and nab one of them suckers at
the hole in the ice (love them krill flies), but NOOOOO! Time to head
to a more enlightened state, like PA...

Oh, by the way, for those going to Penns, in certain sections of
Pennsylvania many years ago, the Farmer's Anti-Automobile society set
up some "rules of the road." In effect, they said:

1. "Automobiles travelling on country roads at night must send up a
rocket every mile, then wait ten minutes for the road to clear of
livestock."

2. "If a driver sees a team of horses, he is to pull to one side of
the road and cover his machine with a blanket or dust cover that has
been painted to blend into the scenery."

3. "In the event that a horse refuses to pass a car on the road, the
owner must take his car apart and conceal the parts in the bushes."

Also in PA, no man may purchase alcohol without written consent from
his wife.

Guess its not just Nebraska.

Hmm, I guess Tennessee is out: In Tennessee, it is illegal to shoot
any game other than whales from a moving automobile.

Damn. I'll have to leave my baby seal imitations in the box the next
time I'm in Omaha.

1. "Automobiles travelling on country roads at night must send up a

this is precisely why it took Shaw and I over 3 hours to return to the Clave
Central on the first Raffle night. We no longer wait for the livestock to
clear, but try to shoot the rockets off, whenever possible.


2. "If a driver sees a team of horses, he is to pull to one side of
the road and cover his machine with a blanket or dust cover that has
been painted to blend into the scenery."


In fact, two of the retired fishing cars are disguised in just such a
fashion after I abandoned them, roadside.


3. "In the event that a horse refuses to pass a car on the road, the
owner must take his car apart and conceal the parts in the bushes."


seems a reasonable request.




Also in PA, no man may purchase alcohol without written consent from
his wife.


I think such permission is implied within the contract of marriage. I'll
take it to court, with wayno as my lawyer.

Tim, those only work for killer whales anyway. For most of the true whales,
you need a #64 krill imitation, or, if you find that tough to tie onto the
leader, you can go with a #28 diatom cluster.

Thanks for that but I pretty much stick to Orca. Helluva lot of fun on
light tackle and they'll hit a dry.

Yeah, but you're using terrestrials...might as well be fishing with
bait!

Have you no ethics, man!?
