Take a week off work and go fishing and relax they said.................


 
Last time I had to get antibiotics for it but I think I have a remedy at home.....we are leaving tomorrow so I will jump on that right away.
The foot goes in rock soup......right??
 
We were up early today and decided to fish for pickerel one more time.....I mean I have caught them up here before so just have to go find them. We hit a few pike/bass locations on the way and threw a couple hours worth of casts in. Not as much luck as other days and we ended up right where I like to fish for pickerel.....we made a bunch of passes over the holes where they all seems to be. We hit a bunch of pickerel......a few too small to keep....one swallowed the hook so we kept him ( smaller one in pic ). Then I hit the larger one in the pic....it was a good fight as I had our 2 ultra lights pickerel rigged and our medium actions were rigged for pike n bass. ( this is generally opposite but pike can be over 3 feet long and if you get one on an ultra light you might as well cut your line ) 6 pound mono on the ultra lights and we were pulling in pickerel around 4 pounds and less for a while......it was pretty fun.
For those that don’t know an ultra light is a smaller rod, not as heavy duty, but they are more fun, more sensitive and more of a fight when you get a 5 pound fighting bass on...that’s a whole other sort of fun....
Taking 2 rods per person saves time on the water if you are ever going to take up fishing.
So I hacked up 2 fair sized fish for a pickerel lunch which was nice since this is kind of why we came here.
Beer batter, canola at about 360.....MRS made some tartar type sauce with mayo and pickles and we attempted to put it on a bun. It ended up tasting great by itself and there was lots of it so we just nibbled on the rest.
Got a snap of the MRS in there enjoying a nice cold OV and munching on her fish. She knows what’s up.

Dinner tonight is just simple delicious 80 / 20 hamburgers probably with cheese with left over potato to be fried up.
Fried shrooms and onions for the burgers.
The MRS will be happy once again...........me.....Im doing alright myself..............

All jokes aside, the last time this happened I missed 2 more days once I got back.
Couldn’t get my foot in my work shoes.......
Just sent a picture to my boss and he understood......
This time however he may believe that I am sending last years pictures and making stories up.....

Lol. I'm telling you, it works...

You definitely want to wash it off before getting in a tent, though. Bears dig ACV.

i fully believe you. i know nothing about camping and the outdoors to even refute a scintilla of data on bug bite prevention. i just thought it's make a good marinade for his foot. the ACV convinced me. it works well on other proteins so, sure, the foot counts as protein (like chicken feet, right)?
