I remember taking my boys (they were 7, 5, 3) fishing. Now, do you think THEY would touch the worm? Um, no. So, mom figured out how to bait the hook while NOT touching worms.

So, we are happily fishing and mom is busy praying that they catch nothing. Do you think Jesus answered THAT prayer? Nope, child happily catches a fish. So, I'm on the pier going "oh, no? Now what do we do?" All the while squealing and what not.

A knight in shining armour came and save us. It was too little to keep so back in the water it went. And we LEFT!!

While I was growing up, my parents, sibs and I spent many weekends on boats, fishing, camping, etc. We all learned how to bait hooks and take fish off hooks. I gave up fishing when I was 15 and my mom told us 'You catch them, you clean them'. Years later, I found out Dad detested fishing, but took us anyway because he thought it was important for us to do things as a family. (Dad grew up in a seriously dysfunctional family [even by today's standards] and has been compensating since.)

Uhhh... CC's a girlie girl. She doesn't touch bait. What kind of purse and shoes do I wear for sharking fishing anyway????

Geez, I sound dense.

Use a tote bag for a purse and wear high heeled sneakers.

Now that would be cute. I had some high heeled pseudo sneakers... they were canvas. Cute....

A girlfriend of mine has Coach sneakers. She had the nerve to tell me I was bad because my dog had a Coach collar. Once I saw the C's on her feet I said...Pot meet kettle.

A True Fish Story

Numerous years ago, I had a S.O. that bought a boat. The Coast Guard gives a free boating class that I took and learned a lot of other stuff from the S.O. because there's just things one needs to learn on the water.

After becoming quite skilled at handling the boat (all except docking when the wind & current are going in different directions), the S.O would let me take the boat out alone. One of these times when out on the boat with myself, the fishing was quite good. I even figured out how to get kingfish landed by myself.

Deciding to call it a day, I got back to the marina. There was no one there except the dockmaster who helped me dock the boat. What a good guy!!

I asked him if he wanted some of the fish I caught. Sure, he replied and I'll clean your fish too. While he was cleaning all the fish, I cleaned the boat so that it could be put back in storage. The boat was all cleaned up, and as I was heading to the fish station, two guys happened to show up and were walking toward the fish station where the dockmaster was still cleaning fish.

As I walked up the ramp, I heard one of those guys say to the dockmaster, "who caught all that fish?" The dockmaster pointed to me. Then the 2 guys looked at me and started to look around the marina. They were looking for whoever else was with me. Not seeing anyone, one of the guys said "You were out there by yourself?" I said, "Yeah, why does that require a penis?" They slithered away as the dockmaster roared with laughter.

First of all if you go fishing you've got to have a big A ice chest with goodies. Layer clothing as necessary. (Final layer a really cute swim suit) Preferable means of transportation is a fishing boat that can also be used as a ski boat--Forgot what they're called... I think it's a Fish and Ski. Pack LOTS of snacks as well.

And since OZ used to like to "troll" while we were married I'm sure there would be no problem with him serving as bait since he liked to go "fishing"

At 6"3 I'm sure he's bigger than 2Mistakes ex and would make better bait. Plus the more rotten, the better the catfish like to bite. Anybody ever smelled cattle cubes? Whewee, but catfish love that bait!

The only problem I have with Coach sneakers is that I wouldn't want to get them dirty and you can't always control what's on the bottom of your feet. They aren't that expensive either... my sister has a couple of pair. I'm neurotic about my purses, where I sit them, if they get dirty. I'd be nuts trying to keep my shoes clean...

I'd buy the dog a coach doggie collar.... and I've got a couple of those ultra expensive key chains...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

Just so you know, we were notified today that because of the budget, the LA County courts will be closing one day per month, every month through the next fiscal year (June 2010). Courts will be open on that one day (the third Wednesday of the month) on an emergency (true emergency) basis only.

Expect delays on the following Thursday and probably Friday as well. Geez, I feel like I'm giving the traffic report.
