Seminole Ramlin's

December 18, 2005

Rumor has it that a river group us bringing suit, hopeing to get permission to dredge 2 places in the Appalachicola River to relieve the barge traffic.

The same rumor has it that a Catfish is a rough fish until he's caught in a net, then he's a game fish and you can get fined.

We also understand now why the Duck Shooting was so lite Saterday morning. The Game Wardens took a solid pile of folks to court Friday morning for shooting "Canvas Backs."

Bill Allen found a school of Bass. Took 10 and brought in 5 for a nice picture, he had just returned from a trip to Lake Wise with one of Seminole's old guides, Jerry Sims. They landed 15 Stripers up to 15 lbs. apiece and over 200 Specks in 2 trips out.

Pam Martin-Wells limited in Ducks Saterday morning. No, she didn't kill any "Cans" a tall, she knows the difference.

Fishing has not been that good on either Bass or Perch so we have to wait and see how it goes next week.

Tis Christ week and at this time every year I think back to the worst Christmas for me. In the mid to late 30's, in about the 3rd or 4th grade we drew names for our class for a 5 cent present to be brought to school. The presents were given out and one little girl was standing at the door crying afraid to come in. She was barefooted and a thin sweater over her shoulders, she didn't have a nickel to buy a present. The teacher brought extra presents or two for just such occasions. So long as I live, I'll always think of her and be somewhat sad on Christmas Day. "Merry Christmas" ya'll.

The pictures are of Pam Martin-Wells of Recovery, GA with her ducks from Saturday.
