Catch & Release

I’m Tackling a little Tabletop Fishing on the Dock

for Kathleen’s Let Dish~

Summer Fun Table Challenge.

I toted my supplies~ sunscreen, a book, glass,

and fishing map in a vintage minnow bucket~

all essential to enjoy a little outdoor scenery

which is the lure of fishing for me.

Fishing net and rod at the ready~

I fell for these aluminum fish on sale at Pottery Barn~ hook, line & sinker~ netting some savings. . .

a rare occurrence and almost as rare as reeling in

a fish at the dock for me :)

I’m consulting our waterproof map

for fishing tips & techniques ~

With my husband’s grandfather’s

old lures and reels for inspiration~

We had a temporary break in the weather this past weekend with low humidity after a hot & stormy week~ perfect weather for fishing and outdoor dining!

My idea of “fishing” differs from my husband’s. . .

(shocking I know :)

His idea of “fishing” is “catching”.

I prefer fishing over catching~ unless it’s catching up on my reading or catching some rays.

“Catching” requires you to pay attention~ no day dreaming, bird watching, or reading allowed~ otherwise you miss your chance to set the hook.

I’d rather read and set the table :)

so I prefer to fish~

My Mother-in-Law’s fish planter is angling

to function as a wine chiller

for a Pinot Grigio I was able to catch~

Which I plan to open and

release with my Fish Corkscrew~

I reeled in some

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Bread

for a dockside sandwich~

To accompany a few

goldfish crackers~

Snackwell’s Yogurt Pretzels are standing for Life Rings~

or a Type IV PFD approved device, designed to be thrown

to a person in the water with a minimum

of 16.5 pounds of buoyancy :)
