Diddy, here.
Today I'd like to talk to you about fishing. Yes, real live fishing... for fish!
Now, I want to discuss this because I've been away from me blog and facebook posts for a week... been on holiday! Anyway, I was talking to Pops over morning coffee, and I asked him if he had ever been fishing. He began to relate stories that were fantastic.
I'll tell you a couple.
Pops claims that when he and his friends went fishing, there was a certain language that only fishermen speak. Pops said that if you were having an "off" day fishing, the other fishermen would explain it away by saying that "maybe you weren't holding your mouth right."
OKAY...
That is really strange. "Not holding your mouth right?" Strange indeed.
Pops said that it was just the way country folk talked.
He also told me that folks always said that the best way to know if the fish were biting would be to look at what the cows were doing...
If local cows were standing up and grazing, then the fish were biting. If they were laying down, then the fish were not biting.
Let me illustrate the idea...
Cow laying down...
Fish not biting!
Cow standing up...
Fish biting!
I've been unable to extract any further stories from Pops about fishing... if I do, I'll title it
"Fishing Too!"
That's all I have for now.
Kahn wanted me to post this selfie:
