Blackfish?

Vas is das 'blackfish'?

Actually, I was on the rocks before sun-up this morning with another old timer like me and we were talking about blackfish - he said he used to fish with a guy who was pretty danged good at it - the guy's name was 'Red' I think he said

For da weekend for me, a four letter word:

Work

Also gonna try to hit the Edge tomorrow to say hi to Jess and JohnJr around noon before I have to go in.

Maybe some early morning forays on the rocks - the Fat Lady is warming up in the wings around here big time.

Saw seals yesterday afternoon out around the Drive porpoising and grabbing fish, then thrashing them back and forth on the surface to kill them - man, what a commotion they made, they were big, too - it was like National Geo live. They had a school trapped up against a small reef 150 yds off Graves and were wailing the Jehovah out of them

Seals...yup, goddammed #*&$#*# seals, rotten son of a #%*$&#% seals, no good #*$&%*#....

Sorry, had to get it outta my system....

Big Halloween adventure tonight - kids are 4 and 6 so it will be a blast and with no work or school tomorrow, we'll be hitting it hard.

Last trip of the year is Sunday am. I'll be emptying out the eels from the garage and hoping to get one last decent fish, something to hold me over. Then I'll be yanking the boat next week. I may make a schoolie fest trip the week before t-day, just a ritual to say good bye to the ocean for 5 months.
good luck everyone.

I'm suprised that you would go trick or treating Jimmy. Isn't it just a version of Socialism with costumes? Come on. Going from house to house in a nice neighborhood asking for people to give you something for nothing?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

good point, however in my family, we dont call it trick or treating, we call it "democrating". We go around the neighborhood looking for handouts.

I then charge my kids a "tax" be eating 35-40% of their haul. Since we are nearing a democratic administration, I'll be eating 60% of their candy if they bring in over 250 pieces. I want them to be penalized for working harder.

Geeze... you must live in Forrest Park. I remember trick-or-treating in there 12 years or so ago. The place is a zoo.

Was out last night but came up empty.

Going to hit the surf again late tonight and Saturday night and probably do some blackfishing during the day.

yeah, seeing that I live in Salem, I'll be lucky if I even get home tonight!
other than that, may do some fresh water fishing (I've given up on the salt, though fish are prob still around)
then band practice

Sign the P&S pending an oil tank inspection and see if there are still any fish around.

Taking the little one trick-or-treating, and then jumping into the car and heading down to LI for some fishing out east with a friend or two who live there.

May be my last hurrah for the season ... hopefully not, but will be fishing hard.
