Crappie Fishing Guide Quits

So last night I’m having a conversation with my husband about our upcoming fishing trip to Barkley Lake Kentucky.  Apparently the Rootin’ Tootin’ Fisherman called and decided to hire a crappie fishing guide for one of our days there.  After many years of fishing with the Tootin’ family this would be our first year having a guide.  And with the 4 of us and only two allowed on the guide’s boat … we have a decision to make …

  1. Should Troy and Denise fish with the guide and Mark and I follow with our boat?
  2. Should Denise and I fish with the guide and Troy and Mark follow with a boat?
  3. Should Mark and Troy fish with the guide while Denise and I take my boat off to fish on our own?  (I like this option.  I get to drive the boat!)
  4. Should Mark and Troy fish with the guide while Denise and I go shopping?

It sounds like the best scenario would be for Denise and I to fish with the guide and Troy and Mark tag along with one of the boats.  If that were the case, Denise wouldn’t have a problem at all.  She’s a big girl.  She puts her own minnows on and takes her own fish off the hook.  But me … well … I have a problem …

Denise:  Here fishy fishy fishy.

Me:  Umm Mr. Guide – Can you please put my minnow on?

Denise:  Here fishy fishy fishy.

Me: Umm Mr. Guide – I think my jiggy thingy is stick in the brush?

Denise:  Here fishy fishy fishy.

Me:  Umm Mr. Guide Sir – Can you take my fish off the hook please?

Denise:  Here fishy fishy fishy.

Me:  Umm Mr. Guide – Umm my hook is stuck in my hair.

Denise:  Here fishy fishy fishy.

Me:  Umm Mr. Guide Boss – Can you please tell Denise to stop saying here fishy fishy fishy?

Umm yes … Denise thinks she’s all that and a bucket of crappie …

And her redears …

Have a good day all … I think I might be shopping that day.

Or maybe I should hire my own guide.

Or maybe I’ll just resort to, “Here fishy fishy fishy.”  Apparently it works.
