Seminole Ramlin's August 6, 2006 Down home roun Faceville with 9 of us living in one house, wash day was a chore. My mother took Monday to wash sheets, pillow cases and underclothes in one pot and blue work clothes in the other pot. 3 tubs of water was drawn up to use the rubboard in and one to rinse in. She put Argo Starch in the third to stiffen Sunday go to meeting shirts in. My job was to get in the tub and walk round and round holding onto a rope tied to a limb overhead. Also it worked on the sheets as well. After the clothes was on the line, the wash water was toted into each room of the house. The floors were scrubed to a brite shine and the excess water would run out on the ground threw very small holes drilled in the floor. That’s the reason for this story, the small holes would not let skeeters in, nor snakes or rats. It being dog days everone was trying to look out for the bad things. So far as Bass is concerned we have had a poor week showing up. Only one boat reported a good catch of Bass and that was this past Sunday when Mr. Ball reported a good catch made on a type of Buzz Bait, one at 5 ½ lbs. Bream is another thing, we are proud of our Bream this week. Limit catches of Bream everyday, even the days it rained so hard we had 1.1 one day and 2.1 another day. A few Shellcracker was caught and eggs were everywhere. We still have small messes of Perch caught on Jigs. No one seems to be able to figure that one out. We all look forward to very good fall fishen as Sept., Oct. and Nov. has to pass over us. Top Water should be very good, that’s when I carry a Bass rod with Zana Spook also my Fly Rod and Floating Bug.
