Beammeupscotty spotting
 

I know this will probably burn a spot , but here goes. I was sitting quietly minding my own business last week when a yellow (mellow) jeep parked next to me at the (ahhh ummm ohhh) and who should poke his head in the open window of my ranger but Scotty. He said I saw the S-B sticker and thought he would say hello. Great camraderie here as we all know. Not immediately remembering Scott, I know there are a few people left on this earth who don't know Scott readily and I am one, he kindly said I am BeammeupScotty, and your Frank right? My reply was quick and friendly even though I hadn't eaten right in a week, (dining on Oreos, Austin peanut butter ad crackers from BJ's, and english muffins wih peanut butter). So chatted about where we have been fishing and our luck. Anyway Scott went his way and my brother and I went ours. It is always nice to see a friendly face on the island during derby time.

And to that 80 year old lady that was saving a parking space like a traffic cone for her husband at the weigh-in, I was not grumpy.

:wavey: Good to see you too Frank. I think we met before maybe at tfctfn but I don't think you were sporting the derby facial growth at the time. I finally started getting into some better fish that night after I saw you at a new (to me) spot as soon as I got there.... I shoulda kept one to weigh in because the lightning chased me out of there within an hour... you know how the weather went the rest of the week...:wall: My usual favorite spots were either unfishable or fishable but with a screaming tailwind, dirty water, and no surf... and void of fish... but plenty of seals:smash: We'll get em' next year. Or not. Either way it'll be fun tryin'.:buds:

Scotty/Frank
Two of my favorite peoples. You two met
at a TFCTFN I think the winter after Scotty
took the top shore bass at MV. That you
will still fish MV while all the action is back
home tells me youse are in love with the
islands romance. May you continue to enjoy
the friendships and camaraderi that a week
at $600-$700 can bring. Luv ya both.
