Fishing
catching dinner - tips and tricks

~ listed chronologically, as posted ~

Please note I could really REALLY use some advice on how to successfully catch fish from you. It's rather embarrassing to be out here this long with so few fish to show for it. Fish do not fear me!

Email your Fish Stories and I'll post them. I'm not great (or even good) at fishing so I started this topic to receive advice. Please help. I love fish chowder but that takes more than potatoes, scallions, garlic and cream because without fish it's just plain stew.

Aphorisms

For years I've been collecting short pithy statements otherwise known as aphorisms. If you're like me and enjoy the weird, go ahead and CLICK!

These are previously posted -- for new, you'll have to come visit again.

My home is not fancy by any means, however you cannot imagine how wonderful it is to come back to her after an expedition on shore.

If I can live this life, why not you too?

Every gift helps.

The Cruising Kitty is what boaters refer to as spending money. There's never enough aboard Seaweed!
