I don't know why,,,,, but I do...... I think its because of of my twisted childhood. Going out with my Dad on one of those frosty mornings, looking for clear water and garfish. What more could you ask for. Well here we are,, Gar Fish Rodeo 2007. The first day of the rodeo, my "OLD" garfish buddy (my Dad) and I going to one of our best spots. We take a look at the water,,,, not bad. About 3 feet of vis, HEY,,,, its garfish ponds... what the hell do you want!!!! We get in the water, kick around for about 2hrs,,, not a fish. And this was our best spot. If it were not for the gallon of wine, we would not have had any fun at all. DAY 2) Go scouting for clear water. Found nice water,but to late in the day to go for it. We'll try tomorrow. Day 3) The Old man has to work, so Scott (Mush) and I head off to the new promise land. Nice water, about 5 feet of vis. but no fish. What the HELL!!!! We decide to go to our first spot, looks diveable but nothing to brag about. I got 4 gar and Mush saw a few fish that were left unharmed due to some rules made by the DWF. We'll see what everyone else has at the Rodeo.. Hope to see you there..... Gumby 4/22/07 Well Spring is here and time for the Sea Tigers Crawfish boil and Awards. A great way to crank up another Dive season. This years King Spearfisherman is Steve Hartley and Champion Skindiver Mike McCurdy. What a nice day for a crawfish boil, sunshine and a strong breeze (no one was wishing to be offshore). There was plenty of mudbugs and cold beer to go around. Mr Val was once again our gracious host, letting us use his place in Lafitte. See ya at the next club meeting 4/26/07 at Da Wabbit or the Aqua Aces rodeo. Gumby |
