Fishing in the bayou
I stopped Blue at the end of the bayou today when three men were fishing there and asked them if they were catching anything – yes indeed, they said, perch. I asked if they were using a cricket or a worm and they said, bread. Just bread, I said, astonished. They said, just bread.
I’m going to go get a junior rod and reel for Jake and maybe even Louie (Tony’s kid, the waitress at LaVita) and take them fishing. Now I just need to know how to fish first. I asked Ham tonight if he knows how to fish and he said, you’re asking a Southern man if he knows how to fish? I said, well I just want to be proficient enough to show a kid.
