I have decided not to use the term "fishing" anymore. I am now using the term "catching" from here on in. "Honey, I am going to catch some shrimp, and going catching", just sounds better. I have also discovered a new technique for flounder catching. I owe Fojoly for this inspiration. Before I put my live shrimp, or minnow on, I rub my belly and pat my head at the same time, While hopping on one foot. Then if fishing a finger mullet, I kiss him square on the head before I put him on the hook. Live shrimp I let thorn me in the webbing of my fingers.
We took a family catching trip Saturday afternoon, after the thunderstorms passed. Me, the wife, and the little Doughboy. I tried the above mentioned techniques. The results were great. Four throwbacks, and twenty keepers.

I guess you have arrived and it is no longer fishing for you! Better the glass be half full rather than half empty.

Way to go Bread Man!

Yep! You gotta make a few sacrifices to convert from fishing to catching. Bread Man has gone CATCHING--That sounds good-- and that's some fine fish you caught while catching.

" Gone catchin' " Sounds good to me!!!!

 

[sandbar]

Nice "catch". Guess I haven't made enough sacrifices or at least the right ones.

Several years ago I started using the term "catching report" in the weekly newspaper column and on line column I write. It occurred to me that folks are interested in what other folks are catching, not what they fished for.

The last time i saw a catch like that was when the news reporters were driving doen a river and the fish jumped in.

Breadman= the fish whisperer.

Flounder..... the other white meat!!!! YUM!!

 

[fojoloy]

I went catching for some flounder today-- but couldn't catch flounder for catching drum. Gave the Falcon UL a good working out.

 

[Bread Man 1]

Drum, flounder, they all taste as good.

 

[Topsail Angler]

Nice job Forrest. Wish I had you on the boat with me - nothing but undersize flounder and a skate.
