Pickerel and JD

[saltfly]

While since this week, they were calling for it to be warm. I thought I would do some pickerel fishing. Sooooooo Monday I get a late start and don’t get to the pond till 1. So I could only fish for a few hours. But what the hay. That’s better then sitn home. Watching the boob tube. Well at first I didn’t get anything. Then what do you know I catch a pickerel. Once in the boat he kicks up a offal fuss and gets out of my hand. Once on the floor. He starts swim toward a bottle of JD and grabs it in his mouth. Then tries to jump over board with it. So I grab him and tell him. Hey none of that. But if he calms down. I’ll give you a taste. Well I do and then I release him. He wasn’t in the water more then 5 mins. When I see this heard of pickerel coming my way. So I start casting like a wild man. And you know what. All of them wanted a taste of JD. So being a person that shares I give each and every one a taste. So I end the few hours with 21 pickerel and two yellow perch. Well Wed. was looking even better then Monday. But I made the mistake of going into my fly tying room. And their sitting on the chair was this high pressure side power steering hose. Which I bought two months ago to replace the one in my truck that was leaking. And their it was , glaring at me and just saying go ahead and ignore me. And I’m going to make something terrible happen. So I put the truck in the garage and replace the hose. So being to tired to go now. I decide to go thurs. Which is today. So I got up this morning hooked up the boat and go. Soooooo I start fishing down the lake from where all the moochers were. But I only get a few. So up the lake I go. You know them pickerel either know the sound of my electric motor, or they heard my sloppy casting all the way up there. Because I know sooner get around the bend. When they start jumping out of the water and saying hey you old fart. Over here. So once I get over there. I start casting and get hooked up right away. And you know what? The very first one, once a taste of JD. So I say ok ok, and give him a taste. Well that was all it took. You know. Those pickerel are chatty Kathy’s. Cause all the ones I caught Monday was their and so was a lot more of their cousins. But I caught only three yellow perch. So it goes to show you they know how to keep their mouths shut. I’ll tell you this. Pickerel love JD. I end the day with 57 landed. I had to quit, because they tour up all my flies and I ran out of JD and flies. I even caught one 12 inches and he wanted a taste. But I told him no you don’t youngun. I’m not getting a ticket fron the warden for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Now go away, before I tell you Mama and she smacks your butt. So the lesson to learn here is, pickerel not only have big mouths their terrible drunks. bwahahahahahaha

Great fiction. A few more sips of the JD and you'll start thinking that you ACTUALLY catch fish in the real world.
