We've been fishing!

It is blowing like crazy today! Someone is going to find a nice blue bucket with a grey handle because the wind blew ours into the creek. Which empties into Slocum Creek - called, interestingly enough - Alligator Gut creek on Google maps.
Which empties into the Neuse River, though given the direction the wind is blowing today, it will probably end up in the North branch of Slocum Creek.
Usually the place we fish is protected from wind. But not today. We lost some hooks too when hubby opened the tackle box and the wind blew the packages out of it. ;)
We've been fishing a little Thursday, Friday and today. In the mornings. An hour or two. The first day he was really tired, but he's been catching the best keepers. Not a lot. Most of the blue gill are full of eggs, so we throw them back; but he caught one male yesterday that was probably 3/4 pound. Great fish!
We're freezing them until we have enough for a fry.
Today he felt good enough to clean the fish himself. Which is good because I can't filet to save my life and we end up with little mangled bits of fish.
No Wally today, but a Resource officer came by (yesterday and today, strangely; the one yesterday asked to see our licenses. ;) ) and asked us if we'd seen an alligator. Turns out they weren't asking us about Wally, but about Wally's GRANDPA. haha.
The officer today said the one they're watching for is about 12 FEET LONG! And he likes our little branch of water, too, because he can swim through the tunnel under the road up towards the pond where there is often a beaver dam.
Nope. We've definitely not seen that one, and frankly, I'd rather see Wally. ;)
Happy Saturday to you all! Stay safe and God Bless. ♥
