Word of the Day

[BarryBobPosthole]

so Keith and I were fishing along a bank last weekend and he used a word I'd never heard before. You learn something new every day around that guy, I swear. Anyway I was wondering if anybody else had heard the term. the word is 'catkins'. Before you google it, are you familiar with it? Is it a regional term? A scientific term? What? HellifIknow. But it does sound exactly like the thing it describes.

Had no clue ... I just called 'em "Pussy Willow buds/flowers", etc. etc. etc.

Cat tails? Since I'm a noticer and you said you were bank fishin' and what not.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Nope. Good guess though!

Must be a catfish, then. That's all I got. Unless short shit was revealing his wife's pet name for him which seems highly unlikely.

Another name for "cattails" ?
Sorry Len, didn't see your post

[BarryBobPosthole]

A cats kinfolk?

[BarryBobPosthole]

That's probably the most logical response yet. But nope.

Yeaahhhh....it's that high protien/low carb diet fad.... The Catkins Diet.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Yep! About all the nut trees get them, as do ash and willows and some other stuff too. The pecan catkins stain my sidewalks for a few weeks every year.

Word up.

We have a heck of a problem with the oaks every year. 'Course when I was pressure washing, I made a literal fortune cleaning stained driveways, walkways and pool decks. For a quick fix P-hole, just pour some swimming pool chlorine/water mix in a pump-up sprayer and spray that concrete. Do it on a nice sunny day and it'll really bleach out as it dries. (note: it may "burn" the grass a bit along the edges, but it'll green back up)

Not a word in this post about whether either of you caught a fish.

And I am the one ridiculed around here. Harumph.

[Thumper]

That doesn't belong here anyway ... we DO have a Fishing Forum ya' know. Ummm, at least I've heard rumors of one.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Yep caught a 7 lb 6 oz largemouth. My first really big bass in a couple years.
