This morning was corn beef hash topped with over easy eggs.

I've eaten plenty of 11.5 inch bass from lakes that I have fished around Columbia. Got lots of grief about that practice but I like to eat fish and the point is to thin out the abundant small fish to ease the competition for food.

While my Betterhalf made dinner. I made cinnamon sugar nuts.. Recipe consisted of egg white and vanilla whipped to soft peaks. Mixed in e cups of mixed nuts. Them mixed into cinnamon and brown sugar mix. Cooked about 60 mins at 250 deg. Mixing the nuts every 15 mins.

So my Betterhalf used a quarter of the pork loin to make a pork and lemongrass dish. She cut the pork into 1/4 inch thick strips. Had lots of minced lemongrass, garlic, red chilis, chopped peanut and fish sauce. Served with thick asian noodles. Very tasty. Photo of the last bit in the pan.

Ventured out to the store..picked up a bunch of supplies including a pack of TP. Only one pack per customer. Shelves were not empty nor full either. Lots of folks in masks. Didn't have whole chickens to break down. Bought 10 lbs of chicken quarters for $10. Broke it down into about 5 meals worth of legs and thighs. Also picked up a whole pork loin. Quarter we used tonight and three portions into the freezer. Along with the venison we still have in there we won't starve that's for sure.

My buddy owns a restaurant in Daytona. He let me know that he is good for three more months if they remain closed. I hope that he is right. He's a smart guy. Didn't buy the restaurant without having enough backing for up to two years without drawing any money for himself from the restaurant. Again I hope that by June things have taken a turn for the better.

I have had the same $40 in my wallet for the last three weeks. That just means that there has been no bait or lures being purchased or convenience store drinks, etc.. We were trying to get some food using their curbside pickup for the local restaurant that we frequented BC (before COVID), but that was before the stay at home order here in MD.

Yes. Especially when I pass folks in the hallways here at work.

Great day all around @Fish 24/7! And a good meal to top it off! Congrats!

Would definitely apply to stinkhorns. Wouldn't have thought about calling small morels by that name.

Great day of snagging! Congrats guys! Only been once and snagged a blue cat. Bumped fish but no hookups. Love to catch one.

Only in a figurative sense . Hey I gave @Quillback a pass on saying that he wanted to go catch some bream on a different thread. I'm mellowing in my age .

Being German I could treat this statement as hate mongering , but I won't cause I know it was not the intention buddy

Technically this was your first bass of the day. First sunfish of the day taxonomically speaking .

Not sure, but that was my personal progression.

I went from Sluggo to banjo minnow to flukes. BM still had the greatest action. Still have some Sluggos around. Maybe even a BM in a less than effective color. Have to clean out the old tackle. If I was actually stay at home, I might get through all of that gear. But still working every day at the office.

Now bring back episodes of "The fishing Hole with Jerry McKinnis" and I am there . Loved that show!

I have a couple of those in one of my tackle boxes. Got them from a friend and never used them . I did really like using the Banjo minnows. Great action, but would get shredded after only a couple of fish.

Maryland and Delaware both have waived license renewals through the middle of April. Maryland is an annual from the date of purchase (mine is due for renewal April 4th) and Delaware is from Jan1 to Dec 31st only (I already have that purchased). I believe that most states will follow suit if they have not already.

I knew that but was too late seeing this post to respond before you gave up the answer 😌!

looks like they had fun. Sure beats Video games at the house!

@Dock-in-it those are some fat fish. Congrats on a great day of pre-spawners! Surprised that the spot wasn't dumping eggs or tossing up shad with that belly.

A wealthy blonde woman walks into a New York city bank and asked for a $5000 short term loan. When asked what she wanted the loan for she replied that she was going to be travelling for two weeks and needed the money. The banker asked her how she would secure the loan. She said that she would use her $120K Mercedes as collateral. The banker agreed and said that they would need to impound the car until she repaid the loan and its interest. They completed the transaction. Two weeks later the woman returned to the bank and repaid the loan plus the $120 of interest. The banker laughed and said that she is a blonde and how dumb it was for her to pay $120 to borrow $5K for two weeks. Nonplussed the woman stated where else could she park her car in NY city for two weeks and only pay $120!

A DEA officer showed up at a ranch that they suspected that there might be some illegal crops being grown. The rancher met the officer and said that the could look over the entire ranch if he wanted. The rancher pointed to a fenced off field a stated that the officer could not go into that field. The officer shoved his badge into the ranchers faced and shouted "You see this badge! I can and will go where ever I want with this badge and you or no one else can stop me!" The rancher said that he could search wherever he needed to and that he had nothing to hide. Then he went back to work as the officer began his inspection. About a half hour later the rancher saw the officer in the fenced off field running and screaming. He was being chased by a very large and very angry bull. The rancher went to the fence and shouted "Show him your badge! Show him your badge!"
