The Block Party

The Block Party

I guess you never get too old to learn. You try to be a good host and invite all the neighbors to your Block Party and soon, it is a complete disaster!! I was warned. Several friends said the Squirrels would crash the event hosted by the Captain’s Cafe, but I had no idea!!!









Well, maybe there was a silver lining even in this story. Before the 25 lb. block was completely gone, I cut it in half. I dropped my chunk off our dock in hopes of chumming up a Carp in the crooked creek that runs in front of our house. The next day I had a Proper Pulldown and brought this fine lady to the net!



But the question remains. Was it the chum or was it the fat juicy Nightcrawler that finally made a party out of this otherwise dead event?

Looks like she's got a gut full of something....chum,maybe?

I would say it was a combination of the 2 ! It’s to bad Max isn’t about 10 years younger , he’d teach them squirrels a thing or 2

Squirrels just wanna have fun!

Squirrels can be down right destructive if they can’t get to food easily. I store bird seed and dog feed in metal trash cans inside my garage. Anywhere else the squirrels will get into it and make a mess.

Carp sure are fun to catch. That one would make some great garden fertilizer.

Was there a "lick and release"?

I'm afraid not. Max and I both have lost some enthusiasm for that sort of thing.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut ever now and again.
