That's going to seem like the Ritz, Dan.
Up off the ground and all. That's really nice. ::tu::

I drove out to the end of McMillan pier in Provincetown today to ask about the Mackerel fishing.
Before I got out of my car I noticed this gull who was unmoved by my presence. I took these pictures through my windshield.

I used to love fishing for tinker mackerel from that pier using small diamond jigs. We'd catch a cooler full and have a fish fry. Do the locals still dive off the pier for coins Joe?

Thank you, Tom. So glad you have a connection here. I don't know if they still dive for coins but when my son and I came back here several years ago he and some of his pals were doing that. Great local stuff. I'm glad you thought of it. And the tinkers are in. ::tu::

We had a cottage in Eastham and frequently went to P-Town to see the hippies and fish for mackerel. The giant tuna being brought to dock were always 1,000 pounds and we were always amazed. I remember a VW in the parking lot filled with sand - is that still there?

Great memories, great fudge, great times!

Here's one, Tom. The fisherman who caught it said it weighed about 400 pounds.
They let me get in the back of the truck to take pictures. What a fish.

Being the city-dweller I am, I have to normally go pretty far away to get some outdoors time. Nearly a hundred pages ago I posted a few pics of some peacock families that had made their way to my neighborhood.

It seems they're now following me to work! :shock:

Well, one fella in particular, anyway. I was sitting in the office making a game effort at getting work done when suddenly I see some REALLY big wings appear in front of my office window, no further than 15' away. They were attached to this big fella who just decided to land in the staircase!

Something happened to his plumage, and my suspicion is it had something to do with some ***hat who wanted the feathers for decoration. Still, he calmly and coolly kept walking down the outside walkway, prompting other people to pop their heads out and take a picture or just marvel at the vibrant blue and green bird. For his part, he didn't seem to bat an eye at any of it.

Glad he showed up to make my Friday a little more interesting!

Nice fish John ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Thats one nice size smallmouth (prefer them over largemouths as they are stronger and love to jump ::nod:: )... and nice pike as well...

Tony - Those peacocks are a popular feather for fly tying and have been used from the early 1800s for many fly fishing patterns :wink: ... Just saying and clearly not asking for feathers :lol: ..

Big Monk - or Mr Candy Azzzz :) - Good on you bro - that's one nice buck ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Back straps ::drool:: .....
