From the land of the Bluenose....unable to sleep more then the usual 5 hours after a 1800-0600 hr shift I got up around noon and noticed that it was one of those typically delightful Nova Scotian "4d" (drab, dull, dreary and desolute) days so I decided to go "aquas excavatos" at a local lake. Donning my water gear I headed into what I thought was a vacant swimming area but soon found to my dismay, something was a fowl and that fowl was a flock of water fowl which began to beseige me looking for a meal and just a quacking away. To boot a few trout were swimming around obviously attracted by the pulse of my machine or the stirring up of the sandy bottom.
Nevertheless I continued on undaunted and it wasn't long before the first target was retrieved......a Ford (found on the road dead..just purchased a Ford....um) car key folllowed by several coins. At neck level (eye to the ducks) I got a real faint signal which took me 3 tries to dislodge from the bottom and into my sieve. Turned out to be a whale of a catch without a doubt...a silver shaped whale's tail earring....where in the halibut did that come from? Anyway returned home sanken not stirred and with enough coins for a couple of cups of Tim,s!
