" We usually go to Target "

in the movie ' Salmon Fishing in the Yemen ' , the topic of church comes up. Sort of , who goes to church anymore. Ewan Mc Gregor's character says the line line about Target.

I went to Giant Tiger , this morning. Very quiet in the store b/c of the rain. Only those who drive felt like going out.

I bought frozen Texas Toast ( garlic and 3 cheeses ) , Folgers coffee on sale ( $1. 97 off ) , Stewarts Soda ( for .88 cents c.f. 1.10 ) and Dole cole slaw ( $1.97 v. 2.30 )

Apparently , you can outfit your whole family at Giant Tiger , M guffaws at that.

It was raining , sometimes very hard.

Fiddled w/ fishing tackle. It is never ending.
Old saying ' the fisherman who dies w/ the most tackle ,  wins ! '
I used to be close

Segue into the story. While out fishing , end of Sept. , I took our English visitor for a run upriver. The guest noticed a fish floating w/ its back exposed , likely dead.
we finished our try at the spot and then I went looking for the fish that was floating , sort of crooked. We found it some yds , further on.
Closer inspection , revealed a musky lure about 11 in long w/ hooks the size of tablespoons. Wow ! , first one ever.
Homeward bound we stopped at one magic spot ( not this to - day ) and I saw a fish floating back side up ( ah , ha you say ) , this one was green.
You got it. another musky lure , a little bigger.
Both had 14 in steel leaders attached. Unfortunately , these are not edible or fishable - trollers use 60 # test line , me 8 #.

Working on that win
