Gaspergou (Freshwater Black Drum)


Lil' D, Lisa's cousin, caught this Gaspergou somewhere in Texas.  Gaspergou average from 5-15 pounds.  The record in Texas on rod-n-reel is 30 pounds and the trout line record is 50 pounds.  Way to go Lil' D.

Well, I've covered the boat until this crazy weather levels out a bit.  And I'm working around the house until it does.  Much love, grace, peace and increase to ya!

FISH & GRITS


Fish and grits was the main meal of the day.  There ain't nothing like some hot fried white trout with a plate of cheese grits.  Some of you may not know about that.  It's a southern thang.  If you ever make it to this area, let me know and I'll hook you up. 
The weather is beautiful today but I've got a "honey do list" to work on.  I'm also giving the water a few days to clear up after all the rain we've had recently.
Well, gotta go for now.  Sooo, grace, peace and increase to ya!

It was a beautiful day for a boat ride. Marjorie, Hiram and I decided the day was to nice to stay inside.  Actually, Lisa had to nudge me a bit and I'm glad she did.  There will be many more days like this to come and I can't wait.  It was a little windy but overall good.

Fellow boaters, as you prepare to get out on the water be sure to do the maintenance on your trailers.  Check the grease in the bearings, check the rollers, and the light bulbs.  Replacing blown bulbs was an issue for me.  So I started using bearing grease to protect them from corrosion and I just started unplugging the lights before launching.  Hot bulbs and cold water is not a good combo.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the water.  Grace, peace and increase to ya!
