Way too much fun...
....at Solomon's Island, MD, where the US Navy has a recreation center open to
military and guests. We took some friends along for the weekend and had a super time. My wife towed the boat down with her Highlander, and did quite well. The Highlander does a decent job of towing the boat, but we kept the speed down to 50 or less the whole way. Saturday AM, Larry and I went fishing in the Patuxent using bloodworms (expensive) and squid (cheap). Larry got the first hit on squid, while I tried the bloodworms. After his third or fourth hit, I switched to the cheap squid also. We ended up with 20-25 croaker of edible size in about two hours, so we were happy campers. Here's Larry dragging them in two at a time http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...htheHanes9.jpg Of course we caught our share of the ugliest fish known, to me anyway. We caught about five of these buggers: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...htheHanes5.jpg That evening we took a tour of the harbor, which was a great way to end the day. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...theHanes22.jpg Got home Sunday afternoon, put everything away, and got ready to out again Monday - play day on the Potomac. My younger daughter and her kids were itching to see and use the new tube, so we went to our favorite little beach. Saying we had it all to ourselves would not be a lie! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2007.jpg The kids voted on Belmont Bay versus Lake Anna, and Belmont Bay won. I taught younger daughter a little about boat operation, and she obviously got a big charge out of it! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2004.jpg Don't know why the kids love this place so much. Must be because they can go exploring in Mason Neck Park. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2009.jpg Today I got a little break. Won't have the boat back in the water for at least a few days. Gives me time to get the wheel bearings repacked. Y'all take care. Oh, I forgot to mention the splendidly lovely ketch we saw floating in the Patuxent. Just simply oh so gorgeous, if I don't say so myself. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...heHanes1-1.jpg -- John H |

They get big and there are stories about them mistakenly clamping those big jaws on divers' arms, heads, whatever. It's the whatever that would scare me. From http://www.zeuscat.com/andrew/personal/info/monkfish/ Monkfish as Food The only edible portions of the monkfish are its muscular tail and its liver. The tail meat of the monkfish is delicious: dense, sweet, and very similar to lobster tail meat in both flavor and texture. Like many fish, monkfish is an excellent low-fat, low-cholesterol source of protein and B vitamins. Monkfish liver is quite popular in Japanese cuisine, usually served as sashimi (Ankimo). |

Won't have the boat back in the water for at least a few days. Gives me time to get the wheel bearings repacked. Y'all take care. Oh, I forgot to mention the splendidly lovely ketch we saw floating in the Patuxent. Just simply oh so gorgeous, if I don't say so myself. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...heHanes1-1.jpg Why would anyone want to see photos of you and your cloned grand****z? No one cares who or what you think. Jealous? Too bad your children have disowned you. They must have caught a glimpse of your posts/lies to a public newsgroup. |
Way too much fun...

We took some friends along for the weekend and had a super time. My wife towed the boat down with her Highlander, and did quite well. The Highlander does a decent job of towing the boat, but we kept the speed down to 50 or less the whole way. Saturday AM, Larry and I went fishing in the Patuxent using bloodworms (expensive) and squid (cheap). Larry got the first hit on squid, while I tried the bloodworms. After his third or fourth hit, I switched to the cheap squid also. We ended up with 20-25 croaker of edible size in about two hours, so we were happy campers. Here's Larry dragging them in two at a time http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...htheHanes9.jpg Of course we caught our share of the ugliest fish known, to me anyway. We caught about five of these buggers: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...htheHanes5.jpg That evening we took a tour of the harbor, which was a great way to end the day. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...theHanes22.jpg Got home Sunday afternoon, put everything away, and got ready to out again Monday - play day on the Potomac. My younger daughter and her kids were itching to see and use the new tube, so we went to our favorite little beach. Saying we had it all to ourselves would not be a lie! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2007.jpg The kids voted on Belmont Bay versus Lake Anna, and Belmont Bay won. I taught younger daughter a little about boat operation, and she obviously got a big charge out of it! http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2004.jpg Don't know why the kids love this place so much. Must be because they can go exploring in Mason Neck Park. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...thRyan2009.jpg Today I got a little break.

I don't have that problem with my kids, because I don't have any. |
