Yeah....bladder cancer from a dip in a cool lake! I don't know if I'd take
little kids fishing there, unless there was a second adult to make sure
their hands never went near their mouths until they'd washed.

Now, now, Doug...it isn't nice to force reality into the picture here.

While living in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida, some years ago,
I was horrified by the prospect of the military's "superfund" sites
adjacent to heavily populated areas. One of them, a Naval Air Station,
was right on the St. Johns River, a waterway popular for all sorts of
recreation, including fishing and boating.

Isn't the Bush Administration planning to exempt the military from
anti-pollution regs? Won't that have a nice impact on our waterways and
fisheries?

It could be that these problems are relatively recent. I was in PR from
1951-1954, about 50 years ago. We fished from the bank. I don't recall any
warnings or worries about getting in the water, however.

to do with 'em.

Ramps? Anything like the wild garlic sprouts we find in the Northeast around
April/May? Rumor: Munch on a handful of those and early season bugs will
leave you alone while you're trying to fish.

Oh I don't know Doug. Perhaps if we cook with self rising flour!
Give my recipe a try. In the words of Andy Griffith, its GooOOooood!

Post the recipe if you get one. Funniest story regards HP's was about 15
years ago was at Rockingham for the NASCAR race. They were selling fried
chicken box lunches. A Southern lady about 75 years old, holds up this
thing that they said was a HP, wiggles it. Looked more like a big french
fry. And announces to the crowd is this great southern voice . . . "What
is this here thang?" I still laugh over that comment. Wife even brings it
out when we get some strange food.

When I was a kid, my dad would take me fishing at one of the fresh water
lakes
in Puerto Rico. We would catch a washtub full of catfish and have a fish
fry for
the neighborhood that afternoon. My mother would fix hush puppies to go
with the
catfish. They were the best hp's I've ever had, and I've not been able to
duplicate them. I can't even come close!

Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe.
My
mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure
to get
that recipe.

Help!

You mean they're not shoes from the 60s?? or is this your joke about
boil catfish with & shoe for 2 hours; add salt, then eat the shoe??
