WhoDaMan got word that the bite was on for catfish and goo so of course I had to investigate being I hate missing out on a bite. I had some crawfish from last year frozen in water and figured that would work but it didn’t. I only had 4 goo and I brought them home and after filleting them I baited a few traps.

It was kind Biblical turning 4 fish into a 48 quart ice chest of fresh crawfish.

So I figured the Good Lord wanted me to go back and thin out some of the goo and who am I to argue with him so I went back on my way to the job site.

If it looks like I am straining to pick up these 17 fish it’s because I am…so I will continue to work out by increasing the amount of fish I catch. One thing I learned was to know the capacity of your ice chest and try not to exceed it.

That way you know when to stop fishing when the ice chest is full.


And always pack light. I found out 1 rod was all I really needed. WhoDaMan was fishing by Cecilie and her family that had a great Mothers Day Catch.

Well we built the Mother Of All Traps II (MOAT-II) Friday. It is in a place that is still holding water after a couple of weeks so it should catch them this winter and fall and maybe before. I stopped at a bait stand and there was a picture of a giant prawn so might have to look into trapping some of those too. It was caught on a rod and reel.

Here on the Redneck Riviera we experienced hurricane force winds with the passage of a front. Santa wanted to make another duck hunt after delivering all the Christmas presents so I said sure (who am I to tell Santa no). When we got there the camouflage duck sledge was all torn to heck and back. Needless to say the elves will have some work to do getting it back in shape. I told him to consider landscape timbers and plywood next time and plan on just leaving it down here. He said it would take a few more reindeer to get it down here but would be worth it.

I kind of propped things back and threw out some decoys cuz there was bunches of ducks flying around. Yep if you look close that isn’t smoke but a cloud of ducks on the horizon.


Well a little expert calling and Santa bagged the 13 species of duck since I have been down here. A really nice bufflehead that he is planning on having mounted cuz there aren’t any of them up on the North Pole.

He said he was ready to head on back and I said “What’s the hurry? Dove season is open lets go try for some.”

SonOfDaMan came along and made a most excellent shot almost decapitating a dove with his shotgun.

Santa’s shooting was not quite as good as with the duck hunting but he still got 4 in an hour and it was time to head back to the North Pole and start working on next years gifts.

WhoDaMan was on his way to Houston right after the blizzard hit the Redneck Riviera when who does he run into at the Whataburger but none other than Santa Clause.

I asked him what-da-heck he was doing in South Texas and he explained he had been invited to help decorate the Whataburgers down here.

I must admit he had to have been to Whataburgers before to come up with some of the ideas he had.

He said he was through with the decorations and I asked him if he wanted to go duck hunting…he said sure so I took him.

He was an OK shot but the hunting hat he insisted on wearing made decoying the ducks a little challenging.

There was lots of action both on and off the water here on the Redneck Riviera. I did 2 cooking demonstrations for the deaf and hearing impaired. The first one was for the senior group.

I called to the Kiolbassa Sausage folks in San Antonio and told them what I was doing and they sent them all $5 coupons for their sausage.

Then Friday we did the youth group…

When they surveyed the kids they said they would rather have a cooking demo than go to the aquarium. That really made me feel special and I was glad I could get them coupons also.

I shared recipes and they ate up all the demonstrated recipes.

There will be lots more pictures on the website http://www.buddysblends.com/ later…all that cooking made me hungry for some more fish…so

And the son caught one only its mother could love.




The all filleted up good and I will probably work in another demo for the senior group featuring fish.


For those that voted for the dessert thanks and you can keep voting till the 19th once a day Red White and Blue Contest. It is the Red White & Blue Rice Cream Sundae and it sure was a hit with the kids down here. Sorry yall I didn’t know there was some kind of sign up to vote and I won’t ever get in one of that contest again. I will give the prize money to the Deaf and Hearing Impaired Center here in Corpus to help them out a little. I have a post on the site back about page 12 that says so too.

Well it has been awhile since the last report and I don’t want folks to think that we have stopped catching fish because of the heat down here.


The mangrove snapper have really been thick and there are not enough people helping WhoDaMan and SonOfDaMan with catches of the fish.

I now have evidence that the mangrove are eating up the stone crabs.

No wonder these fish taste so good all they eat is stone crabs and shrimp.

WhoDaMan was asked by the city of Corpus Christi to do some cooking demonstrations.

There wasn’t an empty seat in the room…everyone must have enjoyed the food cuz there weren’t any samples left.

WhoDaMan, WifeOfDaMan and DaughterOfDaMan took a little side trip to Pennsylvania to visit some of the relatives that weren’t born south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Real pretty country up there and it was like some one left the AC on as there was frost one morning the 1st week of June…we didn’t even have a frost in the middle of winter here on the Redneck Riviera.

I had to drinks some of their beer just because of the name.


Their driving leaves a little to be desired…look at this horse drawn wagon tailgating this camper…I don’t think any of them were warring seatbelts either…

Well most of the butterflies are heading north on their spring migration.


Yep all of those little black dots and the big yellow smears are butterflies.
