Dorothy's Fishing Rules

When it comes to fishing Dorothy doesn't get in my way too much. I can go when I want to and come home only when I've caught enough to satisfy my wants. But there is one rule and it's hard and fast. I can only bring home the part of the fish that we are going to eat. That means cleaning and processing right on the lake. So I got me a cleaning station. My camera is not working too good so I just pulled a sample of what my dockside table looks like. I have actually hooked up a garden hose to mine and have a little rooftop for shade, but you can get the idea. When I walk in the door with my fish they are ready to hit the skillet, grill or oven. Before I married Dorothy and was living down by the lake in my little cabin I brought everything home and prepared it there. I will say when somebody walked in to my little place they had no doubt it was a fishing cabin. Dorothy wasn't going to have any part of that.
