Last time I went on a 40 hour tuna trip it was a little rough. The sleeping quarters smelled like a mix of stale puke and diesel fuel and with constant noise of engines running. I've described a hitch in the navy as prison with a chance of drowning. That trip wasn't much better. $1700 will buy a pile of ahi grade tuna without the misery. So I guess you can count me out.
And leftover cheesy grits turn into polenta. Browned a few chunks of that, two over easy eggs and some of the home canned salsa from last summer made for a good breakfast.
I worked for DNR many years ago. It wasn't easy then and it's far worse now with the anti regulation atmosphere and a republican legislature and governor cutting budgets and mandating 1/3 reduction in existing regulations.
When I was looking for mushrooms, I discovered a bag that had two coho filets in it. Going to pan sear them tonight and have some cheesy grits and a spinach salad.
Wade in at Rim Shoals would be my non-wading fisherman recommendation. I've seen people there doing well before with the kind of water that's predicted.
I am bringing some polish, kraut, apples and potatoes for Thursday night too. Venison and hashbrowns for one breakfast. I also bring good coffee makin's.
