I can't think of the right words Bart, we are in your corner sir. Guilty by association it sounds, and unfair to your family. This separates those that claim to be your friends from those that are your actual true friends. Thank you for trusting us enough to share this with us.

Folks,

Just scored 6 lbs of sour cherries from a house in our neighborhood. On one of my daily walks noticed this tree loaded with fruit and about 2:30 went over and as luck would have it the owner was home and on the way out somewhere.

They usually make jam with them but this year being new parents don't have the time so I offered some jam in return for the free berries ain't bartering great.

Picture to follow.

Wow those look good !!

 

[Blak bart]

Bart,

When the shtf you were probably feeling like this.....

Ha haa ha !! Thats great bill !!

 

[Blak bart]

Sometimes you just got to cut wood bill !! And yes I did do it in my flip flops.......probably not smart !! Flip flop loggers !!




That should be better ?

 

[the_mad_cladder]

that’s a pretty good one.

 

[Simon1]

wow, looks like you have your work cut out Bart. Comfortable as they may be, you are right about the flip flops, but after a few glasses of rum the pain goes away.

Bart I hope everything works out. It sounds to me like certain people are not looking at the facts! Believing unproven BS allegations is not cool! I would have to smack someone! I heard.... my sister's cousin's brother's mother told me....hearsay.

well......I guess I should come clean with some things that have happened in the last month. This is going to be uncomfortable for me but I have to deal with it and get it out in the open. You all know that shark fishing is a big part of my life, and has been for 20+years. While I was gone on my trip north the shark boat was pulled over for a running light that was out. That was the first mistake the boys made while I was gone. Upon further investigation it appears that 2 sharks were forgotten in the fish box from the day before wich is a violation of federal law. On top of that there were several shark fins unaccounted for in the bottom of the box. This is a big deal and we are now under federal investigation for illegal shark fining. The press has run with the story and has really made us look bad with a series of articles that are completely false and very damaging to us in the eye of the public. I have been weathering a s**t storm of epic proportions in the last few weeks. Ive had to change my home phone number, ive had the tires on my boat trailer slashed, ive had death threats on my cell phone, everyone in the community knows what happened and they are either supportive or down rite hostile. I feel that in the end we will be vindicated, but there is a chance that we will lose all rights to commercial shark fish. We have 2 shark permits so if we lose one we have another. Each one of these permits cost in excess of 150,000$ and thats if you can even find one for sale. We are expecting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fines. We are also halfway done building a new shark boat at a cost of 250,000, and now we may not even be allowed to fish. What we are in trouble for amounts to a violation against our license. Just like not stopping completely at a stop sign, or jaywalking. I now know what it is to be on the other end of fake news. We rolled through a stop sign, we weren't reckless drunk driving !! I cant help but think that if I were there this wouldnt have happened, I would never have let it !! Automatically we must give up our research trips, wich is huge money. And not being able to fish has alredy cost us tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. 4 entire families are affected and lots of people who depend on us are out of work now. This is why I havnt posted or said much about fishing, especially shark fishing. Ive been so worried that I havnt even posted on my fishing pic thread. Im sure I will be called into federal court to testify. Who knows I may even be fined or banned from shark fishing. Anything ive posted could be brought up in court so im temporarily not posting any shark fishing pics. Even though we have been cleared to continue fishing while the investigation continues, we just dont have the heart to go right now. People are watching and waiting to make a big scene protesting the second the boat moves. I may have to pull my kid from the school hes in because his teachers and the owner are very left wing and are some of the ones writing some very hateful stuff toward us. Cant see my kid getting fair treatment there now. I cant tell you how many calls ive gotten saying things like " I wish someone would cut your arms off and throw you in the sea" we have never finned fish and thrown the sharks back, but the press wants it to sound that way. Anyway thats enough for now, ill post a link to some of the articles that have been written. I dont usually let things bother me and try to keep a positive attitude, but this is getting ridiculous !! Its bad enough to not be able to go out in public and to have to hide from the public. Ive been carrying my 45 when I go out to shop and eat for fear of confrontation !! I can take the heat but you better not mess with my wife and kid they have nothing to do with my fishing. I actually had a friends drunk wife spit at me !! It took every bit of restraint not to slap the crap out of her !! Im laying low so that my temper does not land me in jail. I definitely know who my real friends are now. Several of my friends have faced an onslaught of ridicule trying to defend us on face book/hate book.
