J.Mudcat Mahoney’s Fishin’ Memories- The Spillway

May 13, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized | No Comments

My name is J.Mudcat Mahoney and I have been a fishin’guru now for going on 48 years. I have a lot of memories and great moments that I want to tell you about. These boys here at this magazine want me to spill my guts for all of you in the Pickwick area. I agreed to the whole thing and I hope you enjoy some of these funny and not-so-funny shenanigans that have happened to me over the years. It was early in August and these two boys from Nashville were visiting our beautiful area. We fished for a while from a boat along the banks and were doing quite well and they asked if we could move to another area. So John Ed, and Bob Robert had been sitting for hours on the rocks below the spillway fishing. Suddenly John sat up, rubbed his butt, and announced that his butt had gone to sleep. Bob Robert said that it was no big surprise, as it had been snoring for some time. Made me laugh so hard, I spit tobacco all over my new fishin’ vest. That’s it for now and I’ll have more for you reel, no that’s real soon. Mudcat

Mudcat Mahoney And Fish & Chips

Well, another great day of fishin’ on the lake. So much fun in one day should be against the law. Me and my boys, Knucklehead and Halftrack, fished our hearts out and I can tell you we will be eatin’ good tonight. Being an old fishing guide out there on Pickwick, I sure know the certain places to go and in what time of year. Anyways, we finished the day with a couple stringers full.

We were drivin’ back home and had this flat tire. Knucklehead said that we probably could have made it home because the tire was only flat on the bottom. He’s a couple points higher than halftrack, on the IQ test that they give these young folks.

Well, anyways, we had this flat in front of that Monastary. The head Monk came out and invited us all in for some food and shelter. It was really a cold day and now it was raining pretty good. So we went in and were glad to be there.

After a delicious meal of fish and chips, I spoke up and asked the cook if he was the FISH FRIAR and chuckled. He spoke up and chuckled, ” No, I’m the CHIP MONK.
