So are we talking about real shrimp, or is "shrimping" some kind of preverted sexual euphemism?  (I probably don't really wanna know)

I'm talming about fishing for Puget Sound spot shrimp.  In size they're probably closer to what most people think of as prawns.  6-10" long with the head still attached.  4-8" with the head removed.

I read that last one as 6-10' long and thought, "you really are going to need a bigger boat."  :laugh:

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

SUCCESS!  Caught 22 spot shrimp this morning.  And lived tell about it, though with considerably less skin on 4 of my fingers.  Had a G&F cop check me out just because he had to see some crazy mofo shrimping from a kayak for himself.

Current on the way home was rough.  Took almost 2 hours to cover what took less than 30 minutes on the way out.  Pics later.

I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

So, no orcas and tangled pot lines, then.  It would have been entertaining.
(Glad you safely caught your shrimp.)

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I don't suppose there's any room on that kayak for a hotplate, saucepan, butter, lemon juice, and some capers?   =D

Sadly, no.

But I did just cook four of them up (2 for me, 1 each for the 2 older kids -SWMBO is highly allergic).  Sauteed a little garlic in some bitter, then put the shrimp in.  Mother of Pearl it was good!  Probably my new favorite seafood.

BTW, the pics on my phone are apparently too large to post.  If I can get them to upload to Photobucket I will post them that way.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
