Hi Jo        Bass!!!!!!!  We're Bass fishin so naturally we are eating fish. Here's a picture of fillets frying in my skilet coated with ground pork rinds. We had tarter sauce and broccoli with the fish. Mornings are bacon or sausage and eggs and lunch on the boat is a s simple as some jerky or a can of sardines    Tony, you should be doing this

Hi Doug!

That looks soooooooo gooooooood!!!
I've eaten fish many ways... But NO WAY beats frying them in bacon fat over an open fire.
YUMMY!!!

The weather is getting much better around here lately.

Bass fishermen have been reporting that the bass are in pre-spawn mode and not easy to find in any numbers.
Very soon, I expect they will be near their spawning grounds in shallow areas near deep water, then look out!

No Jo, no tents for Umpa.....here's a pic of the campsite

Wow Doug!  That's no camper....that's more like a rockstar tour bus!!   I can tell you that if I ever see that rig out anywhere, I am going to flag you both down for your autographs and big HUGS!!!   

[joagain]

I am with you Jan !!! That would be a little more comfortable then a tent  Where are yall in Alabama ? Nice weather this week !!!

[Doug Varrieur]

You girls are too cute We're fishing on Lake Martin about an hour south of Birmingham. Sadly our fishing trip is coming to an end. We will be heading to the cabin in the mountains of NC in a couple of days. The weather here has been hot, then cold, then perfect, now it's heading back to the mid 90's. That's too hot for me....sounds like a bowl of porridge doesn't it  It's in the low 70's at the cabin, I call that the "zone".

[joagain]

I live in Shelby county ,you will go throuh when you go to the cabin !  Yes I like 70's Alabama weather is too hot most of the time . Yall didnt stay in Florida very long ,Like the cabin the best I see

[Doug Varrieur]

We go where the weather goes.....always chasing the 70's

[snobles]

@Doug, it got 75 here today! It wasn't too bad! Anything hotter than that, I'm dyin! LoL...and I'm from Fla.!! Been living up north to long I guess!

[Doug Varrieur]

So, you'd think after eating fried bass for 11 straight dinners we would be sick of eating bass.....nope   It's sooooo darn good I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight

Hi Doug!

That sure is a dandy largie that Sherri is holding!

I grew up eating largemouth bass caught from some of the US's premier bass lakes of SoCal (like Castaic Lake).
But, the best bass I've EVER eaten came from rivers or streams.

The bass I've caught in the oxbows and backwaters of the lower Columbia River we absolutely fabulous!
But my very favorite were smallmouth bass I'd caught in the Columbia River Gorge in Central Washington.
If I did not have so many chores and projects around the property this year, I'd haul my boat over there and pop a few!
