Bait Digger Prints

The sea angler likes to dig his own bait whenever possible...and to learn at first hand the intricacies of the tides and currents.

Mac's Bait and Sushi Shop

Couple of Pikeys.

"Just a couple of ninety cent seed packets, and you can have fresh garden vegetables for heaven knows how long."

Two vending machines for fisherman: 'Live Bait' next to 'Dead as a Doornail Bait'

'Let's see. One dozen red wigglers, two dozen nightcrawlers,three dozen crickets. Want flies with that?'

"The pay for field testing our new lures isn't much, but you get to keep all the fish you catch."

Clam Spearing

"And everything from my dig is brought here where it's identified, classified, interpreted, and the eaten."

Sooners! Opening day of fishing.

"Rehearsal's off! Our first violinist was apprehended early this morning poaching clams in Great South Bay! The authorities have confiscated her rake and long tongs!"

"Of course, it might help if we actually found something every once in a while!"

'Well, Dad, you said for us to use our initiative to make money so we went into the worm business.'

'Don't forget. When this photo shoot is over I get a bucket of shiners.'

'One's a worm,one's a minnow and one's a cricket.'

Of feeling the balance and whip of a favourite rod.

'I found a whole bunch of worms in the wheel wells!'

Salesman at Buzzbait Manufacturers sees door sign 'Out for a spin'

Of course nothing grew --- You just put drumsticks in the ground! I was trying to grow beets.

Museum. Digging dinosaur bones is hard work, but it can also be thrilling! Last year it was electrifying when we found an intact t-rex mandible with a complete set of deadly serrated teeth! We carefully unearthed it, but it slipped from our hands when we picked it up! No harm done. It was not damaged. That was totally anticlimactic. It was educational. Next time I'll know to not get excited when a paleontologist says he has a jaw-dropping story.

'I hate it when they use invisible line.'

Archeologists found a set of 9.7-million-year-old teeth in Germany that might belong to a primitive relative of early man. Totally unrelated question: Are you missing any teeth, Sadie. That's funny. Speaking of which, there are many ways a person could lose teeth. Threats of violence aren't funny in 2018. That's like a rule. A good pummeling never hurt anyone.

"Let's face it - we're much better at digging up new dinosaurs than naming them."

'Wet flies, dry flies, they're all the same to me - help yourself.'

"I'll rent one out as a Dirtbnb."

'Because I paid ten bucks for that lure, that's why.'

'Who's he trying to kid? Real worms don't shake like that!'

'Gee, looks like I'm all out of worms. YOu want to buy a boat?'

The Evolution of fish

'I know I shouldn't bite, but I keep thinking about that poor slob up there...hot, tired, hungry...'

Fly fishing

Boy shows digging dog a Dig Safe sign.

"Extracting proteins from ancient bones is a complex business. . ."

"Remember, one way or another, this time we find out what mystery bait he's using for those record-breaking catches!"
