Question:
When we were "trucking" down near Galveston someone keyed up on the CB radio and told us if the grease didn’t get you in the truckstops the roaches sure would! I believe the comment came after I complained about the "facilities" for female truck drivers at the time. Way back then notto many women on the road in a big rig I guess.

Response:
Are you a vegeterian Bev? Yes fly fishing is something that is indeed a skill. My grandfather used to fly fish and tie his own flies. I remember many a day that he took us all fishing. It was amazing to watch him when he did that kind of fishing. He used to "let" us row the boat as he fished. When I was older he asked if I wanted to go hunting with him. I told him if he wanted a bird dog to buy one. LOL Guess we all have little stories about funny now but not so funny then. My dad, who was actually afraid of water, bought us a ski boat and a canoe (because we wanted one) the first time out in the canoe my sister managed to tip it and in the drink they went. I can still see his face with his pipe clenched in his teeth when he surfaced. We three kids used to try to tip the canoe and never managed to do it. Go figure.

Response:
I too am afraid of certain bugs, roaches really creep me out. Mayflies, for some reason always get on me and no one else when they come inside in the spring. I cannot stand it!!!! June bugs, too. My husband laughs at me. I guess he has good reason, after all, these kind of bugs can’t hurt me. But still, it cannot stand them. On the other hand, snakes (his fear) can bite and the poison ones can make you sick. He has good reason and I don’t. Go figure. Good for a laugh, anyway.

well … I catch them if I can. I know – sick woman. bare hands. Trap the head under a good broom or similar item. My neighbour almost tossed her lunch when I caught one in her garage and took it down the road to the lake to set it free. I love snakes.

your approach is certainly safer than mine. I’m not gonna hold one by the tale like the nutcase aussie (love to all our members in OZ!) dude but I will hold one by the neck. Brought up with brother who was never afraid of anything and taught me to be perhaps a little too nonchalant about snakes and the like. but roaches.. <shudder> never touch one if I can help it.

Wende, Where do you fish? We have a place at Eufala, and fish for crapie and catfish. I like them both. Five pounds is a big crapie. We caught a 6 pounder on the trot line, but that is unusual.

hmm… crappie fishin’ is one of my favorite kinds of fishin’. We go to the Hill Country, toss a line over the side of the dock and just sit, drink sodas and b.s. for hours on end. And they bite at night so I don’t have to fry myself to fry the catch. And I *love* fresh crappie deep fried. Very "light" tasting fish that sort of melts in your mouth. It’s cheap, it’s fun (there is a trick to catching crappie actually) and it’s peaceful. now and then you luck into a striper run in the middle of the night. now and then you get a big ol’ lazy kittyfish. Now and then you see a nutria gliding through the water or a cottonmouth trying to get on the dock to check out the bait. sigh….. missed our spring trip this year – maybe next.
Response:
Exactly, sitting on the dock, line over the side straight down, not too deep in April. We use minnows. Stripers you are in a salt based lake. They are fishy tasting to me. Crappie, take them filet em, drop the strips into boiling H2O for a couple of seconds, take it out pour ice water over it to cool, then serve with shrimp sauce. we call them Crappie cocktail. Yummy! You can lick your paws. We are going to take some pictures of our big lady and send them to some of you guys! Wende "KCat" <kcdoc…@ghg.net> wrote in message

Ms. Kitty, I totally agree with you it is relaxing to sit there b.s. drink pop and fish. But I hate those darn snakes. Those suckers are big and they have big fangs. I whacked one with the end of my rod last year and I thought he was just going to come and bite me for that. I found out I can run fast! Especially when I am scared to death.

Response:
I love to crappie fish. I don’t catch many fish. My husband catches them, I just like to go, I don’t care if I catch any or not. Just relaxing to be on the water. Snakes don’t bother me, but my husband is deathly afraid of snakes. Once, we were fishing from a canoe on the creek. We floated by a big cottonmouth snake laying on a big log in very deep water and he got so excited , scared is the real word, that he stood up in the canoe. NEVER stand up in a canoe. I finally got him to sit down. We floated on down through some shallow rapids that went under some over-hanging trees. He shouted, "Snake! Snake!" About that time, he jumped out of the canoe and practically walked on water to the bank. In doing so, he tipped over the canoe, with me in it and all of our clothes, the lunch cooler, the fishing equipment AND the snake. It was a little bittie water snake. I will say that it did fall out of a tree right at his feet, almost on his head (he was in the back of the canoe). I didn’t even have time to see the snake before being dumped in the water. After he got on the bank, he happened to remember that I was still out there with the snake. Anyway, I will never let him live it down that he abandoned me in the water with a "big mean snake" KathyA2 "Wende" <n…@cox.net> wrote in message

Please don’t take this the wrong way.(Smirk) You truly are one crazy cat if you pick those snakes up. I run away from them. Scare the pee out of me. Believe you me, I look before I whip down my shorts too. I have always been afraid of outhouses too, afraid there might be a snake just lurking in that hole waiting to bite me when I sat down.

I want to go (I think it is called) fly fishing, where you stand in the water in some gorgeous spot in waders and cast long lines over and over.

a cottonmouth chased my ex and I one time while we were in a tiny bass boat. he was freaking out (my ex, not the snake). The snake really wanted into our boat and he was so panicked that he was tipping the boat too. wuss. (don’t worry Wende, you’re not in that category – just my ex) >out there with the snake.

I wouldn’t want them as pets but snakes have their place. I get really upset one someone kills one just because it is a snake! They do such wonderful things. And if we left most of them alone we’d be much better off! Most snakes have no problem co-existing with people. Some honestly do not belong around our homes but that doesn’t mean we need to kill them. Bev "KCat" <kcdoc…@ghg.net> wrote in message

I don’t think Buchanan is very salty but then well, the "striped bass" we see are usually hybrids or whites. Not like the big saltwater strippers (uh stripers) in the gulf. I can’t remember which way it went though – did bass get bred with saltwater stripers to create the lake hybrids or the other way ’round. > They are >fishy tasting to me.

that sounds excellent. I’ll have to remember that for the next trip. some people say we’re nuts for fileting crappie. But Ron’s very good at it without losing much meat.

well … I catch them if I can. I know – sick woman. bare hands. Trap the head under a good broom or similar item. My neighbour almost tossed her lunch when I caught one in her garage and took it down the road to the lake to set it free. I love snakes.

:-) see now, this is the reaction I have to a good ol’ Texas palmetto roach. it can’t kill me but the cottonmouth can… go figure >Especially when I am scared to death. Did I mention, I don’t like snakes?
your approach is certainly safer than mine. I’m not gonna hold one by the tale like the nutcase aussie (love to all our members in OZ!) dude but I will hold one by the neck. Brought up with brother who was never afraid of anything and taught me to be perhaps a little too nonchalant about snakes and the like. but roaches.. <shudder> never touch one if I can help it.
