words from fishman

An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a victim. Jim Pruitt.

The awkward fisherman does nothing but disturb the water.

Marine Corps Integrity, is doing that thing which is right, when no one is looking."
ATTITUDE makes the DIFFERENCE between ORDEAL and ADVENTURE .

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. ~A.K.

Remember it's all about the ..............pause.

Shoot Low Sheriff, They're riding Shetland's


Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW, thats what its all about boys n girls.WALTZING ON THE SAND WITH THE BIG GALS!!!!!!!!!

"Anything worth doing is worth doing right"

Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning.
You should have been here yesterday!"

Just one more cast....

TIGHT LINES TO ALL

Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Simply mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter!

A friend will help you move . A good friend will help you move a body. Do I need to bring a shovel!

"Beaumont" French word meaning beautiful mountains

空中有朵雨做的云

经过这片云,大暴雨,大概两分钟,一过又是兰天。但我的车速必须从70迈降到20迈,,当时的天空大部份是兰天。这是回头看。

A Map of North Jetty


The long jetty is the longest jetty in the world in Galveston. One of the hottest spots for crabbing and fishing which is 6 and 1/2 mile long. But usually you can only walk about 2.5 mile to a boat cut.

笑话-我的金鱼死了

当邻居从篱笆缝里看过去时,小强尼正在填平后院花园里的一个洞。
邻居对此很感兴趣。他有礼貌地问这个长着胖嘟嘟脸颊的小男孩:“你在那儿干什么呢,强尼?”
“哦,我的金鱼死了”,强尼含着眼泪说,没有抬头看他,“我刚刚埋了它。”
邻居很关心:“对于一个金鱼来说,你那个洞挖的有点儿大,是不是?”

强尼拍拍实最后一堆土,回答:“那是因为它在你的猫的肚子里。”

(comment: I like this one.)

Houston-Galveston 海邊釣螃蟹


钓螃蟹是挺简单的,只要你有鸡腿或者火鸡颈,那麽方圆10米的螃蟹就会过来。如果你把鸡腿扔到水里,发现5分钟没有螃蟹来吃,那就说明那里没有螃蟹。臭鸡腿不一定好, 我不喜欢使用 ,因为螃蟹是用来吃的美味. 臭鸡腿让人感觉不好 。

至于潮汐的影响,是浅水地带(2-3 ft 深)会比较容易钓到螃蟹。就是说,在潮水没来的时候,你可能需要走得深一点,涨潮了,反而要往浅滩的方向走,螃蟹会更容易上钩。在冬季(1月份和2月份)较少, 几乎全年可以钓 。

水深是关键,风不要太大。建议还是在去之前了解一下潮水和风的动向。


我是用蟹网(每个$1.19 single ring/$1.24 double ring at Academy). 系 (tie)火鸡、鸡颈或腿在网的中心. 丢在水里,每5至10分钟拉回. 效率远远超过了单一的线钓,1小时钓100只螃蟹是平常的事。(Teaxs法律不限制数量,只要大小超过5英寸(两个角之间),母蟹无子就可以.) 我最好的纪录是一网11只螃蟹。

钓鱼的三境界: 钓鱼放回(catch and release)乃是最高境界

钓鱼有三境界。
第一界(hooked):初进门槛,急于有所为。当第一次钓上鱼的时候,就与钓字结下了不解之缘(hooked)。这时候,求钓欲望是十分强烈的,急于置全钓具,什麽钓法都想学,什麽鱼都想钓,什麽水域都想去试钓,什麽时间都想钓。钓欲如炽。但是常钓不到鱼,就休竿不钓了,真正的钓鱼人这时候就锲而不舍地继续往前走。


第二境界(Catching):登堂。迈过了第一境界,对鱼情、对天气、对季节、对钓饵都有了比较深的理解和掌握,经过磨炼终于总结出了属于你的那一套。这时候就想“出人头地”,钓得更多更大,想创造惊人的成绩。周周钓鱼不止,钓了白天还想夜钓,痴迷于钓事,见了同道乐侃钓经。更还想著这些鱼值多少钱? 好吃与否? 这时候是五分清醒五分迷,是在忙于“建功立业”。这是钓鱼阅历还不够,是对“钓”还没有彻悟的表现。


第三境界(fishing for entertaiment): 钓乐。 碧波大海让人 彻悟了大自然的妙趣。面对鱼们为生存忙著 , 想到岸上的人们也做著同样的事情, 几十年後, 大家灰飞烟烬。 再想到李白的 “人生得意须尽欢,莫使金樽空对月。天生我材必有用,千金散尽还复来。” 鱼赢或者人赢?大彻大悟 。 这时候钓鱼,是更深层次上的钓鱼。钓鱼人追求的是那种难以置信的成就快感。要知道,大鱼一咬钩瞬间产生的兴奋, 鱼试图逃跑时给人的紧张刺激, 到最后鱼认输,给人的胜利快感,那种快乐是普通人很难理解的 。放鱼回去,下次再来,是你自然的选择。是你乐观自信的自然体现 。 钓鱼放回(catch and release)乃是最高境界 。 那时候,可以要钓什麽鱼,就钓什麽鱼 。 甚至信步到水边转一转,看一看,也就有了钓的乐趣,因为一到水边心里已经在钓了 。此时,已经到钓道的上界了。You are the King.

after 做学问之三种境界, still hard but better

做学问之三种境界

王国维 《 人间词话》 曰: 古今之成大事业、大学问者,必经过三种之境界。 “ 昨夜西风凋碧树,独上高楼,望尽天涯路 ” ,此第一境也。 “ 衣带渐宽终不悔,为伊消得人憔悴 ” ,此第二境也。 “ 众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人正在灯火阑珊处 ” ,此第三境也。此等语皆非大词人不能道。然遽以此意解释诸词,恐晏、欧诸公所不许也。 愿君早日在“灯火阑珊处”找到您的理想。
附: 王国维引用的三首词
一: 《蝶恋花》 晏殊 槛菊愁烟兰泣露。 罗幕轻寒 , 燕子双飞去。 明月不谙离恨苦。 斜光到晓穿朱户。 昨夜西风凋碧树。 独上高楼 ,望尽天涯路。 欲寄彩笺兼尺素。 山长水阔知何处。二: 《凤栖梧》 柳永 伫倚危楼风细细, 望极春愁, 黯黯生天际。 草色烟光残照里, 无言谁会凭阑意。 拟把疏狂图一醉, 对酒当歌, 强乐还无味。 衣带渐宽终不悔, 为伊消得人憔悴。 三:《青 玉 案》辛弃疾 东风夜放花千树,更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。凤箫声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。蛾儿雪柳黄金缕,笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度。蓦然回首,那人却在,灯火阑珊处。

get some new from past.

子曰:吾,十有五,而志于学,三十而立,四十而不惑,五十而知天命,六十而耳顺,七十而从心所欲,不逾矩。


荀子·劝学
                                       
君子曰:学不可以已。青,取之于蓝,而青于蓝;冰,水为之,而寒于水。木 直中绳,揉以为轮,其曲中规,虽有槁暴,不复挺者,〔车柔〕使之然也。故木受 绳则直,金就砾则利。君子博学而日参省乎己,则知明而行无过矣。
故不登高山,不知天之高也;不临深〔奚谷〕,不知地之厚也;不闻先王之遗 言,不知学问之大也。于越夷貉之子,生而同声,长而异俗,教使之然也。
吾尝终日而思矣,不如须臾之所学也。吾尝〔足支〕而望矣,不如登高之博见 也。登高而招,臂非加长也,而见者远。顺风而呼,声非加疾也,而闻者彰。假舆 马者,非利足也,而致千里。假舟辑者,非能水也,而绝江河。君子生非异也,善 假于物也。

物类之起,必有所始。荣辱之来,必象其德。肉腐出虫,鱼枯生蠹。怠慢忘身 ,祸灾乃作。强自取柱,柔自取束。邪秽在身,怨之所构。施薪若一,火就燥也。 平地若一,水就湿也。草木畴生,禽兽群焉,物各从其类也。是故质的张而弓矢至 焉,林木茂而斧斤至焉,树成荫而众鸟息焉,醯酸而蚋聚焉。故言有召祸也,行有 招辱也,君子慎其所立乎!
积土成山,风雨兴焉。积水成渊,蛟龙生焉。积善成德,而神明自得,圣心备 焉。故不积跬步,无以至千里;不积小流,无以成江海。骐骥一跃,不能十步;驽 马十驾,功在不舍。锲而舍之,朽木不折;锲而不舍,金石可镂。蚓无爪牙之利, 筋骨之强,上食埃土,下饮黄泉,用心一也。蟹六跪而二螯,非蛇□(“擅”换虫 旁)之穴无可寄托者,用心躁也。是故无冥冥之志者,无昭昭之明。无〔忄昏〕〔 忄昏〕之事者,无赫赫之功。行衢道者不至,事两君者不容。目不能两视而明,耳 不能两听而聪。□(“腾”中“马”换“虫”)蛇无足而飞,梧鼠五枝而穷。诗曰 :“尸鸠在桑,其子七兮。淑人君子,其仪一兮。其仪一兮,心如结兮。”故君子 结于一也。
昔者瓠巴鼓瑟而流【沉】鱼出听,伯牙鼓琴而六马仰秣。故声无小而不闻,行 无隐而不形。玉在山而草木润,渊生珠而崖不枯。为善不积邪?安有不闻者乎! 学恶乎始?恶乎终?曰:其数则始乎诵经,终乎读礼。其义则始乎为士,终乎 为圣人。真积力久则入,学至乎没而后止也。故学数有终,若其义则不可须臾舍也 。为之,人也;舍之,禽兽也。故书者,政事之纪也。诗者,中声之所止也。礼者 ,法之大分,群类之纲纪也。故学至乎礼而止矣。夫是之谓道德之极。礼之敬文也 ,乐之中和也,诗书之博也,春秋之微也,在天地之间者毕矣。
君子之学也,入乎耳,箸乎心,布乎四体,形乎动静。端而言,蠕而动,一可 以为法则。小人之学也,入乎耳,出乎口,口耳之间则四寸耳,曷足以美七尺之躯 哉!古之学者为己,今之学者为人。君子之学也,以美其身。小人之学也,以为禽 犊。故不问而告谓之傲,问一而告二谓之〔口赞〕。傲,非也;〔口赞〕,非也; 君子如向矣。
百发失一,不足谓善射。千里跬步不至,不足谓善御。伦类不通,仁义不一, 不足谓善学。学也者,固学一之也。一出焉,一入焉,涂巷之人也。其善者少,不 善者多,桀纣盗跖也。全之尽之,然后学者也。
君子知夫不全不粹之不足以为美也,故诵数以贯之,思索以通之,为其人以处 之,除其害者以持养之。使目非是无欲见也,使耳非是无欲闻也,使口非是无欲言 也,使心非是无欲虑也。及至其致好之也,目好之五色,耳好之五声,口好之五味 ,心利之有天下。是故权利不能倾也,群众不能移也,天下不能荡也。生乎由是, 死乎由是,夫是之谓德操。德操然后能定。能定然后能应。能定能应,夫是谓之成 人。天见其明,地见其光,君子贵其全也。

another 2 cases of fishing law ticket from website

Texas story 1: I Had A Buddy Who Caught A Bull Red Tagged It ,But Did Not Have A Ink Pen In The Boat So He Got A Ticket For That 75 Plus The Bill For $325 To Replace The Fish 400$ Bucks Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Becareful!

Texas story 2 : a buddy get a ticket for keeping an oversized red drum $ 150 fine plus the state sent him a bill for $325 to replace the fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fishing law, a story from internet.

"Went to North Jetty on Saturday with my father, caught two Red Drum over 28 inches near the boat cut. Boarded by the Game Warden and given a ticket for one not being tagged. Anybody knows the fine amount ?? Also I thought a person over 65 was exempt from this law."

Some Replys:

1. Fine $ 219.00 dollars will be real close if the warden gives you a brake.I just paid one on a black drum 1 inch to long measured by my son.I had at that time one of those strips with the numbers on it,and it was hard to acurately measure a big fish in a bouncing boat.All in all the warden was very understanding and talked to me very respectful.You will have to wait a couple of weeks to for the paperwork to get to the judge [appell i think]texas city.

2. If you violate fish and wildlife laws, in addition to civil restitution you may:
be fined (Class C - $25-$500; Class B - $200-$2000; Class A - $500-$4000; State Jail Felony, $1500-$10,000);
be jailed (Class B and higher offenses);
face automatic suspension or revocation of licenses for up to 5 years;
forfeit hunting gear, including firearms, used to commit a violation.CIVIL RESTITUTION: In addition to the criminal penalty for hunting and fishing violations, the department will seek the civil recovery value for the loss or damage to wildlife resources. The civil restitution cost is payable to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and is in addition to the fine assessed by the court. Failure to pay the civil recovery value will result in the department's refusal to issue a license, tag, or permit. An individual who hunts or fishes after the refusal commits a class A misdemeanor which is punishable by a fine not less than $500 or more than $4,000; punishment in jail not to exceed one year; or both fine and confinement. For questions concerning civil restitution call (512) 389-4630.

3. Red Drum Tag:This tag is required for an individual to take one red drum per license year over the maximum length limit of 28 inches, and is included free with the purchase of a saltwater fishing stamp endorsement or any package that includes the saltwater fishing stamp endorsement. See tagging information. Persons who want to obtain a red drum tag and are EXEMPT from fishing license requirements may purchase an Exempt Angler Red Drum Tag for $3.

4. I was fined for having an oversized black drum years ago. The ticket was $218. The fish was still alive and released. So i would imagine close to $200 plus replacement fee which could be a lot more!!
