    When I was a kid in AL, there was a "fishing show" on the local TV station WHNT, Channel 19. The hosts of the show would just fish on camera for hours. Riveting! This was the theme song: https://open.spotify.com/track/4CtfrD23jvrOZFnplFYJJp?si=XVbNxWdfSN6j58opxXABvw

A Great Day Fishing with Earl

Image
Another epic fishing day. I had the alarm set for 5:20 a.m. Meeting Earl at the boat at 5:45. I woke up at 4 and could not get back to sleep. No problem - I did the NYT spelling bee. Got out of the house and got to the boat early at Treasure Island. Got things set up and started the engines. Earl arrived and we quickly shoved off. Motored across the bay to fisherman's wharf to get live bait. We were not alone. There was a line of about 20 boats all the way out of the cove into the bay, waiting to get bait. We slowly eased our way to the bait receiver and got our two netfuls of live anchovies which they call a "half scoop", poured gently into our live bait tank. Decision time: where should we fish. There were at least 25 boats fishing all around Alcatraz. I often avoid the popular crowded spots unless I know for sure that the fish are biting there. I tend to go to fishing spots where I have personally caught fish. When I catch a fish, I mark the spot with a big red X ...

Coast Trail

Saturday. Beth and I did our customary garden tour and maintenance in the morning. It is good for the garden when we look at every plant daily. My mole traps are idle. Since I set them, the moles have kept a  low profile. We hiked five miles in the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. A beautiful loop beginning near the Youth Hostel down the Coast Trail to Limantour Beach; and back up to the Youth Hostel.  Late afternoon, we drove to San Francisco for the night. Fishing again tomorrow. Years from now, when someone asks how I survived Covid 19, I'll tell them, I escaped by fishing as much as possible. Beth and I had a delicious takeout Italian dinner from the Ideale Restaurant in North Beach, courtesy of our friend David Zalob. David usually invites a large group for lunch at Ideale to celebrate his birthday. He turned 73 this year. Under the circumstances, he invited everyone to have a takeout meal or eat on the street.   While on the subject of food, I have been l...

Ebb Tide

Thursday September 24, 2020 Alas, this is the last entry of this blog. Bear's life will go on. The tides will continue to ebb and flow. I needed a break. I feel like I lost my mojo. Maybe I am depressed over the pandemic and what feels like the worst year of my life/our lives. I feel like I my life is on hold. Something is holding me back from everything. I feel unmotivated. Unexcited. I am just going through the motions every day; even with the blog.  I read through a bunch of my old blog entries. There were days when words poured out of me. I am pulling them out of me right now. Hard to be joyful about anything.  I'll start up again when the spirit moves me.  the bear
