Good Day
Got a late start this morning and hit the water around 10:30. Went back to one of my favorite spots off Karankawa. Had Lara, couple of boat dogs (mine plus I'm dog sitting another), and some shrimp. Tide was ripping out extremely hard. Drifted through the current and settled down in the deeper pools and eddies. Didn't tale too long and it was on. Between Lara and I we quickly landed six nice reds (kept four) and I lost count of the trout. The trout were all on the small side with 7 getting to the 16-18 inch range. This was all done in two hours so it was pretty solid action.
Headed in early so I could clean up the boat, the fish, and run to 7 Seas. Made up a big bowl of buttermilk, worcheshire, garlic, three eggs, and tobasco and let them go swimming in it for about two hours. Rolled them next in flour and Tony's mix, dropped in the peanut oil, and six minutes later I began to eat myself into a blended state of disgust and pleasure. Thirty minutes later, I undid my pants, fired the grease back up, and dipped another dozen shrimp and filets. By this time I no longer care what I will look or feel like. I see this as a personal challenge. I am typing this out as the Blue Bell is thawing KNOWING I will eat near a gallon and fall asleep on the couch with it growing crusty in my beard and some dribbling onto my now flabby chest.
Tomorrow I may feel different but today was a pretty damn good day.
