My experience has been lake bottom as well. I once had 2 large bluegills as pets...they would eat cheese out of my hand. Whatever color the sand was.was the color of the fish,,,they would blend in perfectly...sometimes I wondered what happened to them..they blended in that good...

Activites today...I went to a football game to watch my student play...
I tried something new..I tried smoking 4 chicken quarters on the little Weber Smokey Joe...WOW!,,,,,turned out perfect..I saw it done on YouTube....took 2 hours ..but they were great..you pile up the coal on one side..fill a small bread pan half way with water...and open the top vent only 1/2 way...add wodchips on top..and a bunch wrapped loosely in foil...The chicken of course is placed on the opposite side of the coals with the vent over the chicken...I just ordered a grill thermometer off eBay...looks like a nice one..free shipping..10.00

They were golden brown and smoked through....and only 210 calories a piece..lost 26 Pounds so far.I ate 2 with a large salad and about 20 baked fries..200 calories for the frys. I'm allows 2190 calories a day..I drink about 8 big glasses of lime water a day..I have a lime tree..I also live close by a very clean Farmer's market..we eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.


Beautiful pics Phil..wish I was there...to hunt a moose(-;
