Dear I-fishers- Eight years ago, I was crappie fishing up north in Washington State--Lake Cassidy--in a small boat with a buddy of mine. It was the first time out fishing together and we commorated the event by sharing cigars and sipping some vodka in a brown paper bag. (On an empty stomach... ) We caught up on old times and boated a few crappie. We decided to clean our catch before the sun went down. I stood up to use the filet knife and promptly fell over the side of the boat. I fell into about 10 feet of peat colored water. Only then did I realize that I had consumed a bit too much of that brown paper bag. I don't exactly remember what happened from that moment on, so the rest of the story is what was told to me by my fishing buddy the next day. I was of course wet and a bit stupid. So, I proceded to strip down to my bare nakids at the boat launch for all to view. Thank God it was not too busy that night. I started rummaging through my buddies truck to find a dry change of clothes. I found a pair of shorts and dressed. The next morning, I woke up and wondered whose clothes I was in!

When you live in a small town, word spreads quick. My buddies close friend is a science teacher at a school two towns away. He told this story to his fifth grade science class. In that class was former wife's sister who immediately thought--hey I know that guy!

Whenever I visit my home town, I am greated with that special "knowing" smile from my friends.

That is my fishing story.

Hey wet net,
Know the lake! my parents owned 10 acres of land right on the lake when I was about 10 years old. Spent a lot of time at that lake fishing off our old dock. Caught perch by the hundreds and crappie as well. Was also good for catfish and bull frogs ( Yum!)
Caught my 1st large mouth there as well. What times we had. :grin: As I think back I wish my parents would have kept that place.

Opps got a bit carried away in the past.

Welcome Wet Net !! hope to hear lots of your fishing adventures and Tips in the future

Welcome to the best discussion group on the net. Everyone is so willing to share information on this board that it makes it nice for a green horn like me to learn. <'///>< Ken

By the way I believe this is one of those dark tules!

Cassidy is just down the road from here. The water is whiskey colored from the peet. I know where the launch is and pictured that whole scene...then got up off the floor, too funny.

One little detail I left out. Since that incident at Lk. Cassidy, I have never brought alchohal on board. :tongue: I prefer to remember my fishing time.
