Pirates of the Mississippi

It was just before dark last night…a fantastic summer of 2005 night. Calm, warm, clear and ‘skeeterless night.

Silently the camo flatbottom snuck up on us…before we knew it the skull and crossbones were flying along side of our fishing boat.

The two Captains exchanged words…and once the ruthless pirateship found out the cargo of the fishing boat…tried desperatly to make a run for it. I offered to pay the salty barnacal to take my cargo…but he wouldn’t here of it….

Then my wife and daughter took turns slapping me for talking about them that way and referring to them as cargo…

Captain Mudcathook, pulled down his skull & crossbones and slipped off into the sunset…looking to clear his head of the cackeling noises echoing in his head….

As you can tell…it was a tough night catten….

If you are having problems with pirates, and by chance have a bullhead or 2 for me to throw out, let me know. I would be more than happy to set sail with ya Captain Brian arrrrh

He was a friendly pirate….

but didn’t want anything to do with my “cargo”

Pirates of the Mississippi…. Hmmmm…. We should make a movie!

Of course if we were making a movie last night, it would NOT have gotten good ratings.

Yes.. it was a perfect evening to take a nap on the river bank listening to the sound of the current… not even the bait would give us a desperate *click* of the reel to break the silence.

Tyler managed a couple sheephead and a 6 lb carp.. all was not lost.. he was happy.
