My Kinda Afternoon

Couldn’t ask for much better. Temperature was 81 when we loaded up the fishin poles, fishin chair, and plenty of worms in my new “baby”, Deja Blue. Deja is a 1993 Chevy Silverado Suburban with 4 wheel drive. Her previous owner babied her and it shows. Here is a pic of Deja at our destination. You can see the sand and the huge, old trees that grow right to the edge of the bluff. We turned the back speakers around, left the back doors open, and chose X-Country (Cross Country) for ambience. It wasn’t loud, sound carries real good around all that water.



The Ohio river is up just now. Not floodin anything, but at the top of her banks. Just right for catfishin from the bank. We unloaded the fishin chair, worms, and poles, and we had it made in the shade, literally. The fish were bitin, and we had river traffic to fill in the little lulls between fish. This is the first boat to pass by. I didn’t even get outta the chair to take this one, just turned my head to the right, and let the overhanging branches frame it.



This next one I took because I wanted to include my faithful Ocean City rod. I believe I got it in ’91, and it is well used. After I got home and looked at the pic, it almost appears that I have hooked the boat itself, lol.



And finally, the end result of some soul restoration, the catch of the day. Well, really only about 3 hours. Think I’m gonna get up early in the mornin and go again. Offer them a breakfast buffet. And it won’t be 90 degrees then. Sometimes it is good to live by the river.
