Under the bobber, insane, get a room

Here's the cartoons of the week. Enjoy!

Get away from the Big screen and get on a big stream!

 Finally, finished the post about the "flat tire fishing trip" that happened at 5:17am on a Saturday morning four weeks ago. I was headed to Old Hickory Lake in Goldilocks (my SUV) to fish. All of a sudden, I heard the RAP RAP RAP noise coming from the right rear tire as I drove onto the interstate. At this point, I realized that my plans had suddenly changed. 

Well, after AAA arrived and a total of about 1 hour and 15 minutes went by, I was finally headed to the Lake. Unfortunately, this day was one of those 100 degree days that's now common in the south. I was hoping to finish my fishing by 10:00 am. However, I was so late to the lake that the fish were not biting so I spent the day taking pictures. Enjoy.

There must be a Canadian running for office? He or she is the one on the stump! You should have heard all the quacking. I don't think they are republican or democrat, but could be the goose party and what a party it was.

 What a beauty! 

Looks like this fisherman is relaxing in 100 degree weather. Boy that certainly is a white shirt, no.... wait a minute, that's a farmers tan? Hey, that's Greasy Ham my fishing buddy. 

I cast my lure right to the edge of that log in hopes of hooking a big old hog. I didn't get a bite, but I might......have.

Here's a Great Blue fixing to fly into the shade. Did I say fixing?

Often on the lake you see some unusual things..... Holy Mackerel, Paul Bunyan has moved south. He must be inside under the air conditioner. Did I say under?

Life's short, get away from the big screen and get on a big stream!

The Best Fishing Gear, Ever?

Do you want to be the best fisher-man or woman? If you do, then you must have the very best gear. Here's my top gear choices to make you the very best. First, you must dress like a fisherman and the very best company for that is Fishionista Outfitters (pronounced fish-ion-knee-sta-us, like in Fashionista),. Their motto is simple, "Don't just wade, wade in suede." Click on this ad and read, you will see what I mean!  

Next, you must have superb flies. Here's a company that will not disappoint. Believe it or not, they grow their own feathers. Read their ad and I think you will agree!  

Lastly, you need a quality boat. This company makes the finest kayaks on the water. I bet they will be the most comfortable kayak you ever sat your butt in. Take a look at this ad.

Okay, you have likely figured out that this is all humor, in fact this is the Baitrageous Cartoons of the week. I am planning on improving the graphics of these and putting them on my web site, LeoLakes.com for folks who want a little fish humor in their life. I hope you enjoyed and remember: Get away from the big screen and get on a big stream!!!!!!!!

Philosophy Under the Bobber

You probably never thought of what happens under the bobber, but now you know.

Gaston Lake

I just completed painting Gaston Lake, which is located in North Carolina and Virginia. When I paint a new lake, I often look for unique and unusual names given to rivers, creeks and islands. Most of time I find such a name, for Gaston Lake it's Six Pound Creek. I am not sure how this name came about, but one must consider that it may have been named after a six-pound fish. Speaking of fish, this lake is known for great fishing. In fact, a monster blue cat at over 143 pounds was caught on the Virgina side of the lake, a new world record. 

Here's my finished painting of Gaston Lake with a simple poem on the perimeter and an artistic flair. Click on map to see it a little better.

The dam was built in 1963 along the banks of the Roanoke River.  Gaston Lake is a beautiful blue lake covering about 20,000 acres. The area surrounding the lake is home to more than 150,000 residents. Recreational activities include, boating, swimming, water skiing, jet skiing and wake boarding. The lake has become a popular retirement area and vacation spot.

Fishing on the river of OZ......

Ok, here's my fishing cartoons of the week. I got real creative this week and went fantasy fishing on the river of oz. Actually it turned out better than my last real fishing trip when I had a flat at 5:15am. Anyway,  I have learned a lot about the river of Oz as you will see in coming weeks.....he...he...he. Wait till you see the really bad wicked witch jig.   

I just couldn't pass up more about the Mayan Fishing Calender. I do wonder if the Mayan fisherman had a real fishing calender?

The "Oh man, bob" cartoon is from a worm's prospective.

Hope you enjoyed and remember "Life is short, get away from the big screen and get on a big stream."

Fishing Hole

This post is not so much about a fishing hole, than it is about a hole in my tire on the way to the fishing hole. It all happened at 5:17am on a Saturday morning two weeks ago on my way to Old Hickory Lake in Goldilocks (my SUV). The plan was to meet up with Greasy Ham (That's my fishing buddy) and kayak fish. All of a sudden, I heard the RAP RAP RAP noise coming from the right rear tire as I drove on the interstate. At this point, I realized that my plans had suddenly changed. In the back of my mind, I thought "Dang these tires are only 8 months old, how did this happen."

Anyway, here's a picture of the RAP STAR that ruined my fishing trip. I don't have time to post the complete write-up so stay tuned. 

The fishing adventures of Witch, Bob and Jim

The weekly cartoon has been finished. Enjoy!

I should have waited until Halloween for this one, but I was too anxious. Eye of newt must be some good bait. 

It's obvious,..... a hook job. One of my favorite cartoons.

Hey, I wonder what the Mayan fishing calender looked like? Probably the best time to go fishing was on sacrifice day! D'hat be my plan!
