The weather has been really nice this weekend. A cool front came through. The nights have been in the 40s. We took the granddaughter fishing yesterday. For such nice weather, the fishing was not too good. But we did catch a couple.
A bass, which we let go, as we don't like bass.
And a couple bluegill/pumpkinseed - one of which we let go because it was a female getting ready to lay eggs.
We also went to Harris Teeter last night. They often have really nice naval oranges. And they did. So we got 8 nice, almost softball size oranges. And much to my surprise, they had smelt! I fried some up with the bluegill that we kept. Yummy!
And here's a picture of just the smelt. :)
Really brought back memories of when my dad and older brother would get up really early to go up to Northern Michigan for the smelt run. I loved eating them growing up and I still love them when I can find them. I was just thinking of them last week, too! :)
Hope you've all had a really nice weekend, too.





Looks good! Makin me hungry
ReplyDeleteIt was good, Ed. I love fried fish!
ReplyDeleteI have my dad to thank for that. When we were growing up, he got laid off from work a few times, so he would take me fishing with him.
Good memories. :)
I miss smelt. Craig won't eat any fish. :(
