I woke early this morning, wanting to run my crab traps before someone else did it for me.
I was too late. I only had 2 crabs in them. I am not going to tell a joke because I am so pissed that I might have tremors. I think if I could catch them I would tell the owner of the boat that he was up first and I would build a birds nest out of needles laced with arsenic or some other deadly drug and tell him to sit on it.
After running and rebaiting the empty crab traps I went to the north prong to catch more bait for the crab traps. While fishing for catfish a boat goes by me and I could hear the driver say, see that GUY with the waders on, He has a net out somewhere, that is what they wear when picking up a net. (Nets were banned in 1995.) Then he says HE is catching trout, I know how to catch trout, I have been watching those guys on U-Tube. I had a good laugh. Yep, he knows what he is talking about, NOT!! lol.
I caught enough catfish to add some to the traps and had enough left for 2 more runs. It took me longer to break all the fins off and cut them up than it did to catch them. I would have caught more but I was afraid I would not have room in the freezer to keep them all.
I went back to the south prong and added bait to the traps, I already had 2 more crabs in them, so that was nice. I picked up the last one to rebait and I do not know how this happened but it was hit by a prop. I had it in deep enough water so the only way someone hit it was if they tried to run it and got it in their prop. I brought it home so I can fix the holes in it. Geez, people give me a break.
