Caught 2 walleye and a pike in the city yesterday. Trying to make the most of it before the mountain runoff hits and makes a mess of the nice clear water.

Today I went for a drive way out in the boonies and landed 8 walleye and one pike and hung out on a hillside with a couple hundred garter snakes. Never saw so many snakes in my life, it was amazing and completely unexpected. I chilled with them for a few minutes before saying goodbye, but I'll definitely stop for a visit next I'm in the area.

Anybody ever try mullein?? I have about 20 first year mullein coming up, next year it's on lol. Pretty sure it's illegal everywhere but its becuase it works. I guess the Indians used this technique but sparingly due to its effectiveness. For those who dont know the great mullein is a biennial plant. The second year it shoots out a spike with seeds. You crush the seeds and throw in the water. Once in the water it spreads out and paralyzes the fish, and the float up. It is considered a narcotic, so I think it wares off and the fish are ok after. Science rules!!!!

Yes...it was a Blacktip...don't know why they gaffed it as if you reach over and pick them up with one hand on top of the gills and one on the tail and drop him on the deck, then smack him on the head and slit his gills, tail rope him and throw him over to swim and bleed out...I mean that is how he taught me to do it if you are going to keep a black fin, spinner or mako...the only good sharks to eat.

I probably should fish more often being walking distance from the inland waterway here, but I tend to cook and eat more fish then I catch by far thanks to our Tribal Fishery and excess ?

When I commercially fished for Shark during the 90s we’d slice the top half of the tail fin off and gut and remove the bloodline from the roof of the stomach wall near the spine then flush i with water for an hour or two to help release the ammonia and excess blood . Our Northern areas of Australia they’d commercially fish for Blacktip shark but it was considered low grade flesh while down south we had a much better quality of shark with a multitude of species being School shark, Gummy Shark, Hammerheads of the smaller variety , Bronze whaler, Spotted Saw shark , Seven Gill shark etc . Was hard work and back then we got about $5.00 a kilo ( yes metric ?) . I know only too well what can happen if you aren’t aware of how to handle a shark . Not unlike a snake I guess. I had a Snapper get hold of my finger one day. Not much fun at all ?. Wobbegong Shark were the on deck . They’d literally live for hours out of the water and happily have a go at you as you walked past them while they lay on deck waiting to be gutted . Tough bastards, like gutting and old leather boot
