The Onancock Chronicles the Eastern shore

Scallops!!!?

went out this morning ..... marked some fish on an underwater point that necked down the main creek channel. looked good. Hooked up what first felt like an old rope. After about twenty minutes (15lb test on light spinning rod) netted a 20 pond plus Cow Nosed Ray. That was a first for me.

everyone has to start somewhere...................

It was a strange looking creature cell ...... just wanted to get my spro back and get that thing back in the water !

When I was looking for a place down here last year, I wanted a couple acres of waterfront seclusion. Boss said no. No seclusion. Had to be some sort of neighborhood environment. I reluctantly agreed. Now I'm thinking it was for the best. After 2 months of a tough 24/7, I just watched her walk across to the house next door with a coctail, to join the four ladies there hanging out on the back deck. Ahhh ..... this might work out ok !

and she didn't walk over - she "moseyed on over"

that's what we do down here - we mosey..............

:)

You better mosey on over there...sounds like he needs help!?

Sitting on the back porch enjoying the quiet ....... just watched an Osprey dive and grab a fish. No big deal ...... then a bald eagle came out of nowhere, dive bombed the Osprey. The Osprey dropped the fish and the eagle swooped in and picked it up ! Pretty cool !

And when the eagle went to eat his prize, was he surrounded by sea gulls???

Flew out of sight ...... don't know. Is that what you have seen ?

just received an email from the Mayor - there's some sort of emergency Town Council meeting scheduled on ZOOM for 12 & they want me on there
:oops:

Don't now what it being called for - but I'm not on the Town Council. That's an elected position.

Anyone ever use ZOOM? Getting on looks a bit complicated..

Nope , sorry

Yes, and I thought it was a perfect microcosm of our political system. The tax payer (Osprey) works his butt off to make a living (catch a fish). Then the Government (Eagle) swoops in with taxes (stealing the fish).

The second the Government sits gets the money, the Lobbyists (Seagulls) surround it to get their share...

There are a lot of rays down there I see them all the time in the shallow water around tobacco Island,did you catch any specs?
