Strange, weird or odd or whatever beach finds thread….

No pictures due to names and addresses, but found some stolen mail on the last beach I fished today. Dropped it off at the post office on the way home. Lots of scumbags out there these days.

Brian between you finding the stolen mail and numerous tubes of abandoned lukewarm meat (let alone the ripped pillow toy, the ducks unlimited bucket, the mysteriously shrunken one-armed cosmonaut, the perfumed swimmer and so on) you pretty much have plot elements for a new Hardy Boys mystery. Maybe rope in that always hungry and chunky friend Chet Morton, Get Frank And Joe Hardy on the case to solve the mysteries of Bayport! Actually who needs Frank and Joe, I vote Stones and Dimebrite, finding clues, sleuthing, solving tricky crimes that involve ground meats, body parts of animals unknown, stolen mail, giant squid and so on.....

That Chet Morton really pounded the sandwiches after a tense stake out of those suspicious men on the edge of town. Nancy and the gals supplied the sandwiches and Chet made them disappear faster than a platter of ribeyes at the Travers residence. Chet didn't find many clues intentionally, but he stumbled and bumbled into them. Those Hardy brothers owe a lot to Chet and the Drew girls.

Chet probably had a BMI back in sophomore year right around 31. These days he'd be lost in the crowd, at least until the crowd forms a circle around him, chanting his name, Chet Morton, while he polishes off a large cheese pizza and a couple of ice-cold colas. All the kids are filming him on their cellular phones, except for one, the butcher's kid, Porkchop Jones. In between chasing down some cheese stalagtites, Chet noticed Porkchop's one gray eye, his newspaper-stained fingers and his sinister demeanour. A couple of value -pak envelopes peeked out of the front moron pocket of Porkchop's railroad overalls...

In today's soft world Chet Morton would be feared. Toxic masculinity with a taste for pie and fresh milk. Let's also not forget the role his jalopy played in transporting the Hardy brothers to key locations. I mean the guy was pretty critical.

I'd thought both of you would be too young for HB, I read them 50yrs ago, but you all talking jiberish as I remember none of that!

Great idea, but best include Biff Hooper for security.

Is that a humpkin smolt that didn't make it out, or a kelt that died ?

I’m thinking it wants to attempt to be a rebright….

Nothing I found, but if you see any engagement pictures with a guy fishing in the background wearing blue nitrile gloves….

Anyone know someone in the Seattle area who may have lost or had stolen a small boat with a Evinrude kicker on it? The boat looks like it might be an Olympian boat, but I’m not sure.

Could you get me a measurement on that oar?

I’d like to know the story behind this one.

Stopped working, the fisherman got mad and threw it overboard.

I bet it worked just fine. This is what happens when your fish finder shows you roughly 800 fish underneath your boat and you can't buy a bite. Good riddance to the FF, I get it.
