the Target species

Several years ago, we started out on a fishing trip on a lake.  Two of us had fished to-gether and were experienced ( sort of ). The third of our group was fairly new, who apparently watched fishing shows.
We get to our spot and the newby says " Whats the target species ? " . We almost fell out of the boat laughing. I guess we were fishing for bass but ... anything was going to do.

To-day, the SW wind was building all morning.
My goal was a walleye ( for food ). As the morning wore on it became apparent ' the target species ' wasn't going to co-operate.

I caught a nice size perch. Poor guy b/c he became lunch. 3 other perch added to the total.

Cleaned and dosed w/ soya sauce, the fillets were ready for the pan. Cook the leeks in butter. Save the leeks.
Add dipping oil ' herbes de provence ' to the pan. Roll the fillets in crumbs and fry away.
Homefries are cooked. Dinner is on the table.
Excellent lunch.

Warm, bright and windy. dynamic day, for anything. Trimmed the hedge, took out some landscape lumber and there's the morning and 1/2 the aft gone.
