Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Life on the high seas

My 87 year old Grandmom informed me this morning at coffee that she was out of fish and I probably needed to get in gear and rectify the situation pronto.
So when we got supper ate and a couple little jobs around the shop done me and my sidekick headed to the pond to gather up a bucket of crappie right quick before dark.

We got enough good sized crappie to make a meal or two for the grandparents but I guess the perch are spawning because we couldn’t keep them off the hook. Must have caught 20 great big ones. They really are beautiful this time of the year.
Wife asked why we didn’t keep a dozen to scale and eat. I told her we’d all go back tomorrow and get a bucketful if she’d scale and I’d head and gut. Her enthusiasm dwindled rapidly!
