Dale's bugs are notoriously deadly for bluegills.....but NO bug works

all
the time. I've been bit on the nipples three times


OUCH!


Oh, it didn't hurt. It's just that......well, all unexpected like it
was......uh.....kind of startling. As a matter of fact, many people would
probab.......um.......well, never mind.


left ya a little confused, huh, wolfie?


i'll keep my guard up..... ;-)


Do that. Kennie gets kinda........well, you know.


kinda, kennie?


and I once
watched one bite two mallards on their respective asses. Next time ,

try
varying the offerings a bit.



dale did suggest switching between the psychedelics, the blacks, and
olives.....
thanks for the tip ;-) i will need many more!


And you'll find them here. You'll need to do a bit of wading......but

then,
that's sort of the name of the game, ainna?


certainly, and part of the attraction for a lover of the water, eh? i
actually did a good amount of wading yesterday, and in the somewhat rocky
lake in blowing rock, a pair of simms freestones bought for me by another
freind who is kind enough to assist in my endeavor, came in very handy for
just that purpose. ;-)




snakefiddler- who is ready to quit school, and become a fishin bum

Actually, the two are eminently combinable.


true , i did have my daughter quiz me while we were fishing, for an exam

i
have in my north american indians class tommorrow ;-)


If it's an area of particular interest.....as opposed to merely another
class.....you might want to have a look at "Captured by the Indians",
subtitled "15 Firsthand Accounts, 1750-1870", edited by Frederick Drimmer,
Dover Publications, 1961. As the title suggests, it's a compendium of
abbreviated versions of the accounts of a number of "white" people who had

a
more intimate and more extended look at the subject matter than most.


i'll look it up, and yes it is a particular interest, as my minor is
anthropology, and i *am* interested in indian history and culture. family
lore has it that we possess some amount of cherokee blood- i think from my
great great grandmother. anyway, my instructor, a very nice looking,
bearded, young , hip, animated, exhuberant, sandal wearing
fella................................
oh wait, where was i? ;-) oh yeah, anyway, he teaches a class that
concentrates soley on the mississippian indian culture- a class i would
really like to fit into my schedule before i finish up.


snakefiddler- on my way to work- but would rather be fishin.........

thanks for the recomendation joe, i picked it up from the campus library
today, and am anxious to get started on it. i have had the opportunity to
read the preface so far, and i'm looking forward to reading more.

how interesting to have an ancestor play such an important role in history.

Hm.....while Joe IS technically an ancestor, I believe that referring to him
solely in terms of his role in history is just a wee bit
prema......um......oh.....heh, heh......never mind.

Wolfgang
who has recently.....and for the first time.....found dirt younger than his
own self.
