Welcome

Welcome to The Fishing Reports, the official journal of The Ancient and Honorable Order of the Blind Hog. These are the most comprehensive accounts available of the fishing adventures, and of the ruminations on fishing, of the Blind Hogs. In fact, these are the only accounts available, because hogs ain't all that literate.

Bottom Bumping With Basho

Red napper season, during which Hammerhead was subjected to a half dozen bottom fishing trips with a dozen different anglers, closed yesterday, July 18. It is tempting to write a Fishing Report on each trip, or at least to write a summary mentioning each trip and every angler, but I am mindful of Pat Dineen's observation that I do run on. So, I am going to distill the entire season into a single photograph of my wife and one fish she caught, with a haiku as a caption

In pools of summer shade
waitng red snapper
hear smiles unborn above.
