Captain Judy's Saltwater Fishing Report
Which includes:
Inshore report, Offshore Report, Freshies Suggestions, and "Little Miss Judy's Believe It or Not!" (Story)
"Little Miss Judy's believe It or Not!"
Questions I should have asked but didn't!
My father was a "rounder" for sure! This means did a lot of things that some just dared to secretly dream about! He worked or should I say, "played" during all sorts of fun time eras! When there were shortages of any kind he would always figured how to have plenty of what wasn't available. Take hosiery for instance. There was a time when hosiery wasn't available making the demand unbelievable. My father had plenty somehow! To this day I don't know if he sold them or just gave them away to all of his girlfriends. According to my father he was around when you had to have ticket of sorts to purchase certain things like meat or gasoline. Once again my father had all the fresh meat he wanted and plenty of gas to pick it up!
I can see him now telling his tales with a smile on his face. It's almost like he was reliving everything he was saying! I can see him right now as he navigated his way out of the sound into the ocean. He always had plenty of customers standing around him as he told some of the tallest but very true tales. These stories could have been prompted by something as small as apiece of floating sea grass too a large boat speeding pass. The bottom line to these stories is that he always had a good one to tell. Not only that, but he could always work it into making it a part of the scheme of things!
If you have ever fished with me you already know that the story telling didn't stop with dear old dad. I am still to this day entertaining my own customers with his great stories. Heck, I now have dozens of my own! There is one thing about a tale that's for sure, it might change from time to time, but the truth can always be found in there somewhere!
Until now I never realized how important it was to hold on to all of those "daddy memories from the past." There are so many questions that I wish I had asked him, but didn't. At the time I didn't think that I would ever feel this way, because if I did I would have done a better job of getting "all of the rest of the story!"
Here's the line now bite my hook!
