I've lost Focus
« on: May 10, 2012 - 10:00:04 PM »
Ever wish you could be at 2 places at once doing 2 different things?

Everybody has.

Well that's where I'm at right now.

Lemme explain.

Gotta work of course. O.K.
There's most of the week gone by.

Then the week-end comes and it's time to gear up for 2-3 days putting some hours in on the Cuda to get finished. Parts are still showing up in the mail though.

That's where I lost it!

We are having an incredibly epic Salmon year that hasn't been seen in almost 20 years.
The Salmon are literally biting the paint off the bottom of the boat. Add to the fact it's the best grade I've ever seen...deep dark red meat. Perfect for smoking. The heavy amount of Krill is making A+ quality meat this year.

The Salt water is burning in my veins.  :aarg:

And I don't want to miss another season like this we had almost 20 years ago.

This was a small one earlier this year. He fought harder than many 20+ lbers though.

17 lb'ers are the norm right now and they just get bigger and bigger by July / August.

I'll be re-focused again on the Cuda again. I swear!
I'm torn right now between trying to be in 2 places.

From one fisherman to another, the car can wait!  You'll always regret it if you don't get in on the great fishing!  :2thumbs:

No problem.  You are a fisherman and the salmon and the Cuda are both fish  --  so you are good to go....    :cheers:   :grinyes:

Very nice!! Beautiful fish & great eating; smoked, grilled or broiled  :drool: I took off all by myself about two weeks ago and took a bucket of minnows & a rod & hit the reservoir. It had been a while for me and wow, what a great time when the fish are hitting!! Any day of fishing is a great day!! :woo:

Here's a really good recipe for poached Salmon to try next time.

Season to your preference. Wrap in foil really good, water tight.
Wrap it again really good.

Stick it in dishwasher. Don't add soap.
Run it a full cycle. When the dishwasher is done, so is your Salmon.
