Don't leave for a work trip to California when the temp goes from 65 to 90 in the bait tank overnight.

Don't ask the wife from over 1000 miles away to dispose of the carcusses.

Don't expect to get any daddy time when you get back....

BTW thanks to HereKittyKitty for running over to my house last night to take care of that minor environmental disaster. I owe ya one.

Credit is given where credit is due. She was brave enough to round the garage corner for a peak. If I wasn't such a weirdo and found dead things decomposing interesting and cool looking, I would have been a little squeamish also. There were tons of bullies ready to pop just floating there. Not to mention about a million flies floating in the water and another million laying eggs in and on the floaters. I did manage to pop one, and let me tell you what. You could have thrown that thing to the bottom of the river and it would have looked like it was trying to swim away. The maggots were strong with that one. All in all I found the whole thing interesting.

I should thank HKK too, because I was probably next for cleanup duty. I just happened to be out on the river and I bet it would've been even worse the next day sick

Tip of the hat HKK.... (I had to say I was a little relived when I got the text from John stating that you had it covered) I had fire drill that night and was faced with the prospect of going over the next day to do... sick

I did toss Capt. Firemans name under the bus as he was one that lived pretty close to WWG.... grin

Oh I'm sure Andy is just thrilled to read that haha. I wasn't that bad at all. Its a mind over matter, People have gotten to soft in the stomach over time. Its as if people see themselves floating there not a dead fish.

And Gordie I should have keep some for you boat. Its the new age bug spray just in chum form. They say bully slim relieves minor pains. So it could help with bug bite and deter them from coming near. Or turtle repellent fro Ed, I think he needs all the help he can get in that category.

I will still have to deal with the soup when I get home Friday night. Wife says the smell is creeping around the garage still. MMmmm.

It may take a week or so to get the bait tank back in order after that little hiccup. If I do go fishing this weekend.....someone else has to bring the bait.
