The Fishing Trip
Sun Aug 11 2002

I'm not sure what it is about my fishing luck when I come to visit my parents.

My brother usually comes away with some impressive catches. My kids always catch something (be it from fresh or saltwater). Way back in 1996 Hubby and I actually caught some salmon and a halibut.

We have not caught anything since then. Well, actually we have. In 1998 I had a halibut on my line that was smaller than my bait. Other than that we typically get skunked.

I am contemplating going out on a charter before leaving for home this week. Either that or go buy some of the fresh catch someone else has caught. I would love to come home with a styrofoam cooler stuffed full of frozen salmon and halibut.

I have until Thursday to catch something other than a cold.

    sounds like my dad
    there is a running joke in the family that whenever he goes out fishing the fish are elsewhere on vacation
    he has most everything: a boat, fish finder etc etc etc, still no fish
    all the very best!!
