Joke/Quote of the Week #6

  Well... there's no fishing for me this weekend as my sleep cycle is all screwed up and Tackle Shop is busy this morning pursuing a new business venture. I think I should rename these posts seeing that they aren't being posted every week. Do any of you readers have any input for a new name?

  Anyways...I recently found a cached source for my favorite comic strip; In The Bleachers. Enjoy

Our tradition is that of the first man who sneaked away to the creek when the tribe did not really need fish.  ~Roderick Haig-Brown, about modern fishing, A River Never Sleeps, 1946
"Carpe Diem" does not mean "fish of the day."  ~Author Unknown

If you've got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly.  ~Jack Ohman, Fear of Fly Fishing, 1988

An angler is a man who spends rainy days sitting around on the muddy banks of rivers doing nothing because his wife won't let him do it at home.  ~Author Unknown

 Fisherman's Prayer

God give me strength to catch a fish,
So big that even I,
When telling of it afterwards,
Have no need to lie.
===============================================
  So... that's all for now. In the next few weeks pike and walleye seasons open up, the bullhead catfish will make their spawning runs along with sturgeon in selected rivers, and the warm water fish like carp and gar will be putting on the feed bag. It's that time of year when I never know what I'll be doing next or where that will be...and I love it!
