A PELICAN IS NOT A GOOD FISHING BUDDY..I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND A PEACEFUL SPOT ON THE CAUSEWAY TO SIT FOR AWHILE AND PRETEND TO FISH.. ACTUALLY IM STARING ACROSS THE WATER WATCHING THE BOATS COME AND GO AND WONDERING WHERE THEY ARE HEADED OR WHERE THE BIG ONES ARE SHIPPING FROM.. AS I SAT DOWN UNDER THE SHADE OF THE SMALL TREE I SPIED THE PELICAN SITTING ON AN OLD BRIDGE PIER..JUST WATCHING ME..THEY HAVE DISCOVERED THAT A HUMAN IS A GREAT SOURCE OF FREE EASY TO GET SNACKS THEY THROW AWAY BAIT AND FISH THEY CATCH AND IF THEY ACT QUICK ENOUGH THEY CAN CATCH IT...I OBLIGED BY CLEANING OUT MY BAIT BUCKET FIRST GETTING RID OF THE OLD SMELLY ONES THE OL BIRD RETREIVED IT AS SOON AS IT HIT THE WATER.. SO I BAITED UP AND GOT A GOOD CAST..THE OL BIRD MARKED WHERE IT HIT THE WATER....IN A FEW MINUETS I GOT A STRIKE A SMALL ONE BUT A JUMPER..THE FIRST JUMP THE BIRD WATCHED THEN HE LIFTED OFF THE SECOND JUMP THE BIRD DIVED AND GRABBED SO NOW I HAD CAUGHT A DAMNED PELICAN...WHAT TO DO HE WAS RISING AND HEADED OUT..IM STANDING AND WATCHING THE LINE REEL OUT.. HEY IS LIKE A LIVE KITE...BUT THEN I JERKED THE FISH AND LINE FLEW OUT OF HIS BEAK AND I REELED AS FAST AS I COULD I GOT IT BACK THEN SAT DOWN AND CAREFULLY LOOKED AROUND..THANK THE GOOD LORD NO ONE WAS STARING AT ME LIKE THE FOOL I FELT LIKE...I SAT DOWN AND GOT A COOL DRINK AND WAITED TIL THE BIRD GOT TIRED OF WATCHING ME AND FLEW OFF..I CAUGHT A FEW MORE BUT I THREW THEM ALL BACK CLEANING FISH IS NOT A HOBBY OF MINE.. JUST LIVING DOWN HERE SEEMS TO BE HOBBY ENOUGH...SO I STOPPED BACK BY THE SAVANNAH WILDLIFE REFUGE AND WENT OUT TO THE BIG DEAD TREE WHERE THE ANHINGAS DRY OFF ..LARGE AND STRANCLY SHAPED THE AHINGA IS A WATER BIRD THAT SWIMS WITH HIS BODY UNDER WATER ONLY HIS LONG NECK AND SHARP BEAKED ABOVE WATER SO THE INDIANS CALL THEM SNAKE BIRDS AN IRIDESCENT BLACK COLORED BIRD THE FLY TO THE CRAGGY OLD TREE AND SPREAD THEIR WINGS FOR THE SUN TO DRY....ITS QUITE A SIGHT TO SEE THAT BIG OL BLACK BIRD SPREADING ITS WINGS AND GREEN AND PIRPLE LIGHTS FLASHING WHEN THE SUN HITS RIGHT.. I PAINTED A PICTURE ONCE SO I READ UP ON THEM YOU CANT PAINT RIGHT IF YOU DONT KNOW... THE HAWK FLIES LOVE TO ALL... FRESH VEGGIES FROM THE HOOD CORN OKRA AND TOMATOS..MOM WOULD HAVE CALLED IT A SOUP MIX AND SO IT IS LOVE BILL
