Welcome to Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] Late Edition 2025 (2-15-25 Sat. Late PM):

I finally had time to set up the 2025 thread.

This delay has been due to some of the problems in order to set up my trip to rendezvous with Wife Elena there. We had to switch from February to March because of some of the hurdles. My 3 week vacation will be spent in Hurghada next to the Red Sea about a half week, then we fly to Cairo for a week there. Our hotel room is very near the Giza complex. You can see the pyramids very well from our room, our balcony, and the roof (of which we have access. We have it for 7 nights/8 days, then we fly back to Hurghada for my final week there. The Red Sea is just across the road from Elena's apartment. It is also right where her favorite beech is. Oh, the water is not red, but blue.


OK, as for my Catfish Calendar...

Perhaps you are just tuning in. Here & there, in previous years, I have shared some tips. And in the 2010 thread, there is my share on the Catfish Calendar.

Even though I discovered the YC pattern & my Catfish Calendar back in 1981, I mapped it out in 1982 for 3 years- 1983 thru 1985, just to confirm it. That was on the Trinity River downstream from TX 21 bridge. I also had tried it off TX 21 on the Navasota River & Brazos River in 1981, which is how I realized something was different. I also found that Gator Gars use the same days as do YCs, but run (feed) a few hours earlier. It is very close to 7 off, 2 on, 7 off, 2 on, 7 off, 3 on, then repeat. There is a slight overlap from time to time to re-adjust. My PYC (Personal YellowCat Days) days are the actual pattern, which most of the time coincides with the Catfish Calendar. The Calendar shows one of my 4 "sigs", which is the strongest for that day. Of course, there are other factors that can weigh in.

And then I hit (found) a more chaotic pattern of the BCs.

And then there is Bleedover (overlap), which like Dave learned, if you play it right, you can capitalize on it to increase your volume on an outing. See the KEY for several tips & findings (observations) to assist you.

I discovered what I term or call a "roam-feed circuit switch". You might say, it is a sort of built-in pattern (instinct), in which a certain variety of fish must leave comfort & go out to gather food, instead of laying low, and waiting for iot to come to you. My estimation is that 66% to 75% of that species follow this pattern, and the rest that do not . THey are what I refer to as "rogue". In other words, they dance to a different tune/beat. The KEY shares my 4 sigs, as well as tips & pointers learned over the years, from me & my three prize YC/Calendar students- Jeff & James S. & Elvin L. They had never caught any YellowCats before. Once they finally applied what I shared, within 30 days, their 4th YC weighed in at a hefty 62.4#. Even bass fishermen come over to the Catfish section to get the Calendar, as they also like to catch YCs.

IF'n I finally get higher speed internet, I just finally might share some pics.

Well, I got higher speed finally, but have had fairly little extra time for many things.

OK, let's get started.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is a Big Brief, in case it is your first encounter..

My Catfish Calendar is mainly for Yellows, Blues, and Gator Gars. I did not research CC (Channels) or MC (MudCats aka Bullheads)..

I post the KEY every so often, or note which month to back up to.

There are 4 main "SIGs".
They are as follows:
YC = YellowCats
BC = BlueCats
BFT = Buffet (a mix)
ZIP = Poor or NONE

PYC days are separate from the Calendar days, to clarify.

I share that the Catfish Calendar seems to be based on a roam-feed circuit switch. In other words, it is Nature's way of kicking them out of the house to go roam for food.

I also note that my estimate is that most (the majority) follow this pattern, being between 66% to 75%. The others, ranging from 25% to 33%" are what I call "rogue". They dance to a different beat or pattern

In comparison, it is like 3 work shifts of people. Most work the day shift 8 AM to 4 PM. Night shift runs 4 PM to 12 AM. And the Graveyard shift runs from 12 AM to 8 AM. So, most Cats run the main work day. The Rogues work the other two shifts. Now, I am using this as an analogy, it is not that the fish run those certain times. It is just to illustrate that most (the 66% to 75%) run this pattern & the others run the rogue (the least work shifts).

There is also what I refer to as PYC days. These are my Personal YellowCat Days according to the pattern I discovered. In general, it is an off 7, on 2, off 7, on 2, off 7, on 3, then repeats, but there is a slight variation, so I have to adjust those days according to my experience with the calendar. I first discovered this pattern back in 1981. I had been taught by one YellowCat teacher in 1979, and another one in 1980. However, even with all their knowledge, I was still not catching any more fish, including YellowCats.

That is, until 1981, of which in March I started working for The Western Company. After all the training, I & a few got transferred into Cementing division. Most of the Trainers did not know much about the Cementing division, just the Stimulation. We heard stories that Cementing guys were sometimes gone for days at a time. Yes, there were a few times like that, but not always. One job I got 72 hours in, and we never got to do the job, due to problems. We spent a lot of time in the drilling team's quarters. They even had their cooks cook meals for us.. Anyway, our days off pattern was those 2 days, then 2 days again, then 3 and back around again. I went fishing on those days off. It was Tues/Wed off, then the next Thurs/Fri, and finally the 3 day weekend- Sat/.Sun/Mon.

All of a sudden I started catching fish. And I started catching YellowCats. I would bait out my lines one day, come back the next & reap my rewards. One week, I caught a 28 # YC where my co-worker & 2nd YC instructor had caught a 35# YC, 2 19# YC & a slew of smaller ones, well over 100+ pounds worth. The following week (after catching the 28#), a friend's father & myself camped out on a gravel bed just below my trotline. I caught 5 Yellows that night, a 15# being the largest. Later I switched from the Brazos River upstream on TX21 to the Navasota River upstream from TX21. Again, I was catching other Cats, but especially YCs on my days off. So I figured i may have stumbled onto a pattern for Yellows. I decided to do some research. So I took off in 1982 to set up my plan of investigation. I had my flat bottom worked on. It was my Dad's 12 foot Elgin he bought from Sears for $70 in 1962. Very sturdy boat, deeper hull & rated for a 7 HP. I braced the center, the upper back corners & also had 3 straps attached to the transom. The reason- I bought a new Ward's Sea King by Chrysler 15 HP short stocky shallow shoal motor (47 pounds). A friend had loaned me his 7.5 HP Chrysler. At first I did not think much of it, but it ran good. Ward's had it (the 15 HP) for half price (about $800) & my brother-in-law put in on his account & I made the monthly payments on it. Running without gear, it would go 25 MPH, 20 MPH with gear. Very little wake, almost none. The water would hit somewhere between the center seat to halfway to the back seat. I even found if I was careful, I could go down the river sideways. Of course one error, well, had I ever messed up, it would have flipped at that speed.

The reason I braced it was I had twice the HP which was a lot of torque. Plus I realized you also had to take that into consideration with speed & steering (no fast turns).. I had it rewelded & patched here & there, plus a co-worker spray painted a deep metallic blue. So, I mapped out this calendar accordingly & was going to test it for 3 years. I chose the Trinity River 25 bends down from TX21 bridge. My first father-in-law had access to what they called "The Park" by way of a church member. For 3 years it was like a second home there. Actually 3 1/2 years, as I continued fishing their until April 1986. I started in Spring1983 and was going to run until 1985 Summer)

I confirmed for sure, the Calendar was correct as to the pattern I found for Yellows. And I also found a pattern for Blues, but was a little more erratic. And in the midst of that, I found that Gator Gars run the same day patterns as do YellowCats, but a few hours earlier. And in August 1983, my father-in-law went with me one foggy morning. It was a YC day and according to the pattern (PYC) as well. We were checking a throwline off on a big stump about 5 to 10 feet from the bank. It dropped qwik and was 15 to 18 feet there. He grabs the line & raises it up enough for me to grab. About that time, something dove & almost took me with it. I was in the middle of the back seat & got slid to the side and my arm was into the water. I made a split second decision not to let whatever caught me off guard over & out of the boat. So I let go & bobbed back up in my seat. We both looked at each & I said Wow! that was a big one. He grabbed the line again & this time I braced myself. Sadly it had gotten off & bent out the Eagle Claw 4/0 SS O'Shaunessy hook . We caught a couple of Blues & a Yellow on other lines that run, but was disappointed in losing the big one.

So, I figured it was a big Yellow, not a big Blue. So I baited out perch when I could. It kept bending hooks, so I kept using large ones. I finally set a diagonal trotline across the river
in order to see if maybe I could catch it & have better leverage. I forget what size hook I had gone to but I was off on vacation for a week & had gotten a dozen big tilapia (or African perch) from Larry at the Bait Barn in Bryan. I, my first wife & a brother-in-law were baiting out headed towards the other side, putting those 12 big perch on the side that Big'Un resided on. About 2/3rds of the way across, the main line starts tugging fiercely and going up & down river. Ah, we got Big'Un so we backed up. She was boiling water trying to dive. Just before we got to it, it got off. But I stayed on it, always hitting on the YC days of the calendar as well as my PYC days (the underlying pattern). I had finally gotten up to 9/0 Eagle Claw SS O'Shaunessy hooks. We had July 4th off, so we checked the river at TX21. It was 6 inches low, and the water was clear. I decided I & my daughter would come back that weekend in July 1985 & try again. My daughter was just under 4 years old. Lo & behold, Sunday morning about 10 AM, we were checking the trotline & I had a few small Blues on the first few hooks, Then the big tug began. I think it was about the 7th hook out, but it was clear & at first it looked like a Blue, but as it was heading back & forth, I finally saw it was an Op, a spotted Yellow. It was the clear green color that made it look like a Blue.

In case you did not know, when Yellows are trying to get away, there are two patterns the will choose. One is a had dive. The other is they will run a figure 8 pattern. Because I knew that, and Big'Un was doing exactly that, I timed scooping the dipnet from right to left & come flying around to drop it right in the boat. We stayed that night & I staked her out. Monday morning we got to Madisonville & my father-in-law said let's go to some meat market there. They brought their slide scales out & we weighed it near the P/U. It was about 4 feet long. It's tail drug the bottom of the scale & it showed 59#. But the guy told me because its tail was on the scales, it should go at least 65#. I decided to just call it as 60# so nobody could claim I beefed up the numbers. Then we went to the Madisonville Meteor & they took a pic of me, Big'Un & my daughter. Big'Un (other pictures) were featured in the Bryan-College Station Eagle (along with a write-up on the story of the Big 'Un & my log books, but he did not mention my calendar. It was also featured in the Pictorial Press's Fish & Hunting Guide that Fall. (1985).

In my testing of the Calendar, I also found a few tips which I share in the KEY.

OK, so further, as to the Catfish Calendar, the 4 SIGs indicate which one is the strongest for that specific day. It may be a BFT day on the calendar, but if it is one of the PYC days, I will note it.

That was Phase 1 River Research. Phase 2 started the Lake Research in 2002 at Lake Limestone at Running Branch Marina, where i fished until T-Day Trip 2011. However, the lake was 10 feet low & I was having to use my sister's Porta-Bote (a portable fold-out vinyl v-hull. And I fell out of it down at the bottom of the lake, as I had to tote it some half mile out to water (or seemed like it).

After a 2 day hospital stay in early 2012, I finally returned briefly from 2013 to 2014 with the Porta-Bote. Then it tapered off until I got an AlumaCraft 12 foot flat bottom in early 2018 & had my last encounter with "The Giant" on May 5th, 2018. An even bigger Yellow, my estimate from 100# to 150# . As I jerked the size 36 leader line, it dove hard & snapped the leader & took the hook. I am thinking it was a Mustad triple strength 9/0 short J SS.

Phase 2 proved the Catfish Calendar also worked in lakes.

There are also further findings that for me, it seems I catch more Channels during BFT days. Now, as I said, I never researched ChannelCats, just an observation.

There is also Bleedover. In other words, the gates do not open at midnight, nor shut at the next Midnight for sure, like the day according to TPW , as to the daily Bag Limit (which is Midnight to Midnight). There can be up to about a 12 hour bleedover in front or after.

I suggest if you are going to fish during ZIP days to use an unnatural bait, such as a punch bait. See the KEY for more tips.
I have found that Blues also bite real good on YC days. But on BC days, they bite even better.
While the calendar does not specify exactly when during the day they bite the best, this is how running set lines can prove the most as to the calendars focus upon the strongest SIG for that day.

Take Dave for example. I taught him how to not only bait as you go into a calendar day, but use Bleedover to to your advantage. So he would set out juglines the night before, even if a ZIP day going into a BC day. And in the morning run the jugs with unbelievable results. His neighbors saw his change in results of his catches and started giving him nicknames related to "Catfish". He once posted his results on a lake with the pics of a pile of Blues on a table he & his fishing partner caught on one catch. Towards the end of his post, he let everyone know he used my calendar & noted further he had been using it for 6 years. So as you use it, you learn how best to work it, to your advantage.

I know of at least two guides that recognize the assistance of my calendar. By knowing what it shows, you adjust your strategy to maximize your results. One told me I should do a podcast. The other pushed along with other catfishermen/women to have the Calendar be a "sticky", meaning to stay posted up front on page 1 for easy access.

Another YellowCat fishermen used the PYC & YC days to target Yellows with trotlines. Then they went towards Rod-n-Reeling and still exceeded in the use of the calendar. One bass fisherman stated he also liked to catch Yellows, and the only reason he came over to the Catfish section, was to get the Catfish Calendar & any tips I might give on Yellows. One Rod-n-Reeler said if I ever came to Lake Conroe, they had a seat available for me. They used a spoon for catching Yellows & finally decided to only fish for Yellows on the YC or PYC days, as it yielded such better results than at random. In other words, they did not waste time on Yellows on other days not designated according to the calendar.

My prize YC & Calendar students, a team of father & son on Lake Limestone watched me for years, and finally put everything that I shared into practice. In the first 30 days of that decision, they caught 3 Yellows. One was over 30 pounds. But the 3rd was an impressive 62.4# bluish tinted Op. I happened to catch up with them & see it, as I arrived at Running Branch Marina, just before they were headed home with it. They were still shaking with the excitement & adrenalin of caching it. Of course, I got to take pictures of it & them before they headed out.

They also shared results over a few years, They noted that they seemed to catch the most Yellows towards the first of a YC or PYC run, and towards the end of a YC or PYC run, so I shared that as well, in the tips in my KEY. By others utilizing the calendar, it also helps to enhance its use by sharing their results as they recognize them.

And one night in 2008, "The Giant" hit their trotlines & was caught on it. James (the son) was the only one of us who has seen the head & its tail. He said there was nothing but head in his spotlight. By the time his dad (Jeff) had handed him the dip net, it went under & then the tail came up to the surface. James said it had to have been at least a foot as to its span. And then it was gone. I forget if they said it snapped the leader or what, but it easily got off.

I myself have caught the Giant many times, but it has gotten off. Once (the first time it hit my trotline, it was running the direction of it, taking me & my cousin's 14 foot MonArk with it, till it slid the leader to a knot & weight, then bent the hook out as it just kept going. Another times, I had a three-way swivel broken off & the leader & hook gone. So I quit using 3 way brass swivels. I stuck to 3/0 Brass barrel swivels. Then went to 4/0 & 6/0 brass & SS barrel swivels. One time. me & my Uncle started running a trotline set in another position, and feel the pull & we watched as I held it up, to see the mainline headed on its path, until stopped & slowly come back, of which it finally pulled off going in its "granny gear", never stopping. And a few other times. After the 2011 drought it had to move out of its normal domain & path. But my last encounter with The Giant was on May 5th, 2018 as it was Sunday morning & I was about to take off bait & pull the trotline. I started on the near end. As I started, I felt a tug which felt like I had perhaps a 10 to 15 pounder. As I went further, the tug now suggested this seemed to be about a 35 pounder. To my surprise, the further I went,. its tug indicated it was a good 60 pounder. Only to stop & look around where I was at, in that area. It "clicked"". I was right in the normal path of "The Giant". Oh [censored]!!! I'm in my new 12 foot AlumaCraft.

The Giant, estimated to be a Male coming in from somewhere of 100# to 150#s, had the advantage & possibility of turning the 12 foot over easily (as I knew its strength & "granny gear" run). And I was now right over top of it. I had the leader (of about 24" long) it was on. So I knew, to prevent that, I would have to get the upper hand by truly powerlifting this monster & not hesitating from hoisting it up into the air by surprising it & somehow tilting it to fall into the boat. This way the constant pressure would not allow it to roll or dip the boat on the side I was running the line. It was Do or Die, in a sort of manner. In that split second, as I shot my arms up bracing for its weight & resistance, it dove hard. To my surprise it snapped my size 36 leader line taking the hook with it. I had a mixed array of hooks on that trotline, but I think it was a Mustad SS short "J" style triple strength 9/0 stump hook. I prefer the 3 strand twist or diamond braid size 36. However, it snapped to reveal somehow, I had used a core type size 36. I would not have willingly used it, so I failed in not knowing I had some leaders with it.

Anyway, I now have THE trotline ready for The Giant, consisting of a minimum of size 72 to size 96 three strand twist nylon (be it leaders or mainline). If everything goes according to the plan, I have a few shots at once again catching it from November 8th thru 10th which consists of BFT/YC/YC & those two YC days also being PYC days. So unless rain prevents the trip, I'll be on a Giant run. If I don't catch it then, I hope to have another chance in 2025 between Spring & Summer after returning from Egypt. My research is not limited to just Catfish. One portion relates to the Great Pyramid & the Sphinx. Sadly though, if I don't catch The Giant by then, I may not have a further chance. Because my destiny veers about this point. China invades Russia in the Spring, which begins this 13 year (2025) portion of the Mayan cycle of major changes- 2012 thru 2038. You see, I study patterns. In a sense like Einstein's thought experiments, or as I call them- "scenarios", so that repeated adjustments eventually show how the dominoes will fall.

When you use set lines, you utilize the calendar the most, as basically you have the lines out for a straight 24 hours of a day, 7 days a week as to fishing, which is why for Rod-n-Reelers, I suggest you also use the Solunar tables to assist in targeting the best times to fish, since you may not be out there for the whole day & night. And as noted, they still hit paydirt with the calendar.

I hope this brief has helped.

I almost forgot. During Full Moons, it seems the YC & GG (Gator Gars) run (feed) a few hours later. The Yellows for sure hit best during the New Moon. YCs will come up more, the darker it is, compared to times that is more lit up.

Here's the January 2025 calendar again, as I tacked it on the 2024 thread, until I had time to get the 2025 thread up.

Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] JANUARY 2025 (12-15-24 Sun. PM):

Current Updates are noted in DECEMBER 2024 LCC, so you may need to back up.

This Early Bird Special for January 2025 will appear here at the end of the 2024 thread & also will be posted in the new 2025 thread. I hope to set it up, as well as post February too, so I won't have to worry about it until around March 1st or 2nd, but I may be working on the first to make up a day of recuperation after I return.

I almost forgot to add, Elena said they have catfish in Hurghada. Cool!!! I'll have to fry some up & try it.

*** And be sure to not get them (YC) confused with PYC days, as this (PYC) is my reference to the YellowCat underlying pattern. The YC days are the hardest pull for that day of the calendar, as to the 4 possible 'sigs" of mine [YC/BC/BFT/ZIP].


For the KEY, go back to November


Wear that Life Jacket!

OK, Here is a glimpse into February 2025. I have not had a chance to set up the 2025 Calendar thread, plus try to post enough before I head for Egypt. Due to many hurdles, we had to shift from February to March. Everything is now pretty well secured. My Egyptian visa & Passport book came in just over a week ago. Saturday night, I secured a 7 night stay at a hotel next to the pyramids at Giza (a mere 3 minute walk to the gate to the pyramid & Sphinx complex). Pyramids are seen from our room window balcony, and the roof (we have access to it). Elena secured the air flight round trip tickets from Hurghada to Cairo on March 11th, then the return to Hurghada on March 18th. Then I fly back to Texas on March 26th. I head out March 5th & arrive on Friday March 7th. I hope to taste some catfish,. as Elena noted they have some. Bought two new cameras, so I hope to take plenty of pics.

Eric & Kristina (son-in-law & daughter) may start back fishing in March while I am gone, but my eyes are on a May trip to go after "The Giant". I have a youth kayak to rig up, so I can check the trotlines between the new flat bottom & the kayak, and not get turned over.

I hope to be on Saturday PM (possibly AM) to catch up.

Meanwhile, here is February LCC only, along with noted PYC days afterwards. Here goes ...

Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] FEBRUARY 2025 (2-15-25 SAT. PM):

Looks like 18 day Countdown for heading to Egypt for 3 weeks. Everything has finally been set up. I do plan to try their catfish. Hopefully they fry it. If not, I will.

As for me, I am getting ready to look forward to a "Giant" fishing trip in May. Hopefully the water level will be up by now, as last November (2024), it was too low to get out of Running Branch. I can finally set up my rig, as I got a youth kayak to ride shotgun (to my side) with, so I can pull up the Giant with no chance of rolling my new 12 foot Tracker flat bottom.

Special Notes ...

** ALWAYS ... be sure to note that YC days are also great for Blues. So when you have a clump of BC & YC days, press forward. Like they say in pool (or billiards), Rack 'em Up!!!

*** And be sure to not get them (YC) confused with PYC days, as this (PYC) is my reference to the YellowCat underlying pattern. The YC days are the hardest pull for that day of the calendar, as to the 4 possible 'sigs" of mine [YC/BC/BFT/ZIP].


Lynn’s Catfish Calendar [LCC]- 2022 KEY:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
YC = YellowCat // BC = BlueCat // BFT = Buffet (assorted) // ZIP = Zip (not very good)
Tip- Always bait out lines the night before a YC or BC day.
Tip- Gator Gars (GG) run ahead of YellowCats, so bait out late (between 11 PM to 1 AM).
Tip- BlueCats also bite good on YC days, but you can rack ‘em up on BC days.
Tip- Some variations or alterations are due to weather or other external influences.
Tip- For Rod-n-Reelers, use Solunar Tables (etc.) also for best times with my calendar.
Tip- Near Full Moon, Gator Gars & YellowCats seem to feed a few hours later.
Tip- Your biggest YellowCats may hit best towards beginning & end of YC or PYC days.
Tip- My PYC Days keys in on the YellowCat’s Feed/Roam Days Underlying Pattern.
Tip- Bleedover works both ways- Before & After a calendar day. Take advantage.
Tip- For better luck on ZIP days, try a stimulant (not natural) type bait, such as stink/punch/dough.
Tip- In my experiences, it seems ChannelCats (CC) bite best for me, on BFT days.

Plans are to post March & April in the next few days, that way, I can have a little breather after my return from Egypt.

Wear that Life Jacket!

Lynn's Catfish Calendar [LCC] APRIL 2025 (4-12-25 SAT. PM):

Long time no see!

Finally I get back to the keyboard for the LCC (Lynn's Catfish Calendar). I have not looked back on the TFF, but If I recall, due to shortness of time, I basically posted the RTF calendar & noted the PYC Days. Currently I am in he Library. I am on U-6 (Dell tower with XP- June 2006) typing up April w/ brief look into May & should be getting back to normal once again. The past 2 weeks have been stretched thin since I got back. Then transfer the files by way of a USB stick. I post now from U-10 (HP laptop with WIN 10- May 2020) which is in the Living Room.

I flew out about 9:30 PM Wednesday March 5th from Houston Intercontinental (IAH). Arrived in Istanbul (IST), which I agree that it is the largest airport in the world, as it is like a city inside a building. I got dropped off at F-15 on one end. When they finally assigned my gate D-4, it was a mad dash. Took me 25 minutes of hustling to get there. As you get to the last of the E-s, the sign points upward to the right. Ye Gads!!! Looked like a 2 story (4 tiered staircase). No elevator in sight. After a breather for the heart, I skipped the next conveyor as I did not want to backtrack. I was right D-4 was tucked out of site about the middle of the conveyer belt. Sat down & I got a nosebleed from those massive stairs. But I was about 30 minutes from boarding. I had a 7 to 8 hour layover from when I arrived. Luckily Turkish Airlines had internet service, so I was able to get on E-1 (HP laptop with WIN 11 for Elena- January 2025). I let Elena know I was almost there by Skype. Then I touched base with family by email. Then on to Hurghada (HRG).

Well, what can I say? It was a well earned 3 week vacation, of which I think the last I took was in march/April 2004 when I flew to Elena in Kiev, then we drove to Lugansk. I only had two weeks then. So it has been 21 years apart for us. But as I walked out of the Hurghada airport, I saw my smiling Wife Lena already there, even though it was between 3:20 to 4 AM. In Egypt, you refrain from Lovey-Dovey stuff. It could get you into trouble.

We had a half week, before once again, heading out early for an early flight on the 11th (Tuesday) to Cairo. I & my sister Jo, got my tickets from Texas to Hurghada & back, plus she found the room at the Pyramids Homeland Inn (a 3 minute walk to the Giza Complex gates) on Airbnb. Lena got our tickets to & fro to Cairo & back. Believe me, I did well. This Inn was not a fancy Marriott, but very nice. It was $40 a night, but I booked it for 7, then 8 nights & they gave me a discount- only $31 a night. We were in Room 301 facing the pyramids. I could sit on the edge of the bed, type on the laptop on a small table while looking slightly forward to my left out the sliding glass door & see the full view of the GP (Great Pyramid) & about a top 3rd of Chephren pyramid behind a building. Up on the 4th floor was an open cafe (as it does not rain in Cairo). Plus free breakfast was served for guests from 7 to 11 AM. Up there, you could still see the GP fully, 2/3rds of Chephren, the face/left side of the Sphinx, and 1/3rd of Menkaure (pyramid which was behind another building). Me & the Sphinx always stared at each other from table #3. Sadly, due to Ramadan, no light shows while we were there. But here & there they did put colored lights on the pyramids & Sphinx.

Thursday 13th, we took horse & double carriage with a driver around the complex. Got a few pictures with a camel by Menkaure. Stopped by the GP for awhile. Lena almost got us into trouble as she climbed up a stone or two. The guard was talking to Sammy & I saw him bribe him. He went back to his chair, but she stayed up there, As he was yelling at Sammy again, I said, Honey, time to go before we get in trouble. This round the main bit was the Sphinx. We had a guide take us all the way around. Very nice gentleman. Then it was time to head back to the Inn. Ali-#2 was the one who was either manager or owned the horses & carriages, as well as was over the museum across the street. He was wanting to fix me up on a fishing trip on the Nile River as Lena told him I was a fisherman. But I declined as I was there mainly for the GP & the Sphinx. And of course, rendezvous with Lena.

Hossam & Mona are like brother & sister to Lena in Hurghada, so Hossam set us up with a friend living in Cairo. We went in car this time with Ali-#3. It seems for vehicle entry, we had to circle around the whole huge complex which has a high fence now. It was like a 20 minute clockwise ride around, almost to the area we started. I had plans to go up to the King's Chamber. They all did not think I could make it, as to my legs. I got bit by a spider on my back tendon of my left leg 1.5 weeks before the trip & the emergency room prescribed some super anti-biotics for 1.5 weeks to get the swelling down & the red band all the way around tamed down. Plus my heart had them worried too. And Ali-#3 was worried that with my broad square shoulders there was only one meter of room, as there is one steep angle stairs with a very low ceiling and you cannot se the end of them, which you have to climb crouching or stooping. One couple told us an elderly 85 year old was determined & crawled all the way up. Anyway, I made it to the top of the never ending stairs & stepped back in a small corridor to wipe sweat, and let my heart tame down. The next set of stairs was not as long & you could stand up. And then you had two areas of crouching & you then came into the corner of the King's Chamber. The longer portion of the room was left to right, so as I entered, the great coffer (sarcophagus) was to the right but not up against the wall, maybe 4 feet out. Well, it just was not as sacred, nor could you be able to get an idea of the resonance in this chamber. Why? You have about 50 tourists in here, so it is hot, and super humid, despite the 6 dehumidifiers. I stayed about 15 minutes. but there was just way too much chatter. It dawned on me, where was the Queen's Chamber. It was behind that locked gate where I got that breather. It is only open for private tours after 4 PM. It was about 2 PM & luckily, going down was much easier and you felt cooler as you descended. As I emerged, Lena had come back up to the entrance. She got worried as I did not come out yet. So she asked a guard if he had heard of anyone that had problems. He said no. She asked if they could check, but he said to wait a bit. I emerged a few minutes later soaking wet, shirt, cap, pants, my reading glasses, and my vest on my arm had been like a sponge. She was relieved. I had gotten hot & sweaty, and now came out into the bright hot sun. I forget where my sunglasses were. I was wiped out though. Needless to say, I was done for the day. Time for a shower back at the Inn. But I was waiting for Big Sister (Sphinx) to share something. That did not come until one morning at breakfast be it Sunday or Monday. So I am still trying to decode the message, or figure out the puzzle piece I was given.

They said the employees treat you like family & they did. We got along with everyone there at the Inn. We did a few odds & ends, such as take a shopping ride in those 3 wheel scooters (taxi) going wrong ways in a one way, and dodging cars. Needless to say, Lena did not want to take another spin, so she paid someone to bring us items from nearby stores. Then we checked out about 10:30 AM on the 18th Tuesday. Hossam had already set us up with a driver & car to pick us up, to go to the airport. Cairo stretches from the pyramids to the Red Sea (where the airport is next to). There is nothing but city as far as you can see. The driver pointed to a digital sign which showed how many were currently in Cairo due to Ramadan. Over 107 million, over double its normal 43 to 47 million.

Cutting it short, we flew back in the afternoon & Hossam was waiting to pick us up & take us back to the apartment, which is about the 3rd building back from a highway. Well we were under the weather & the winds were high in Hurghada, but they laid down Monday. So we walked across the highway, thru the gate to Beach #9 & paid the entrance fee. You get a handwritten ticket & they get it from you at the beach, before you are allowed to get a lounge chair. And we walked some 15 minutes to the shore. Beautiful deep blue waters. We had about two hours to just hang out. There was a thatched roof cafe there near the water, I ordered a cheeseburger. Not bad. Lena had a frozen fruit smoothie. The next day, we came back after Noon. I was going swimming. However, as we arrived, there was a commotion over at the pier on the right. It seems it was family of dolphins- Papa (which was much darker), Mama & Baby. Everybody was taking pictures & videos, including Lena. From a guy from Finland, I was told the water was cooler today, than the day before. So I was not actually swimming, just wading out. Lena told me not go out where we were at, nor go deep (due to sharks), but come in over at the cove to our left. Well, I found out why. Rocks, so it took me awhile to get over to the sandy side. I finally took the plunge. Definitely quite cool & salty big time. I waded around & plunged again & decided that was it. Time to warm up in the sun. There were a few who had fishing rods out, but I never saw anybody catch anything.

Lena had said there was catfish there in the markets, but her kitchen was open and she really did not want the fish smell thruout the apartment. I had taken some Tony's Crispy creole batter, but finally decided not to go get some & fry it, as she would not eat it due to being on Ukrainian Orthodox Lent. Sadly, that was a good choice. As this apartment had a draft she could not seal this winter & was always waking up with the sniffles. Olga-1 let her know after I left there was a new apartment that just hit the market & had been well insulated. And the word was rent was to rise in April or May in Hurghada. So she took it for $400 a month. The one we were in was $320, but might go up to $370 or more. So she moved to it this past week & cleaned the one we were in. So I guess it would have been fun to get the fishy smell tamed down to get her deposit back.

She cooked tame duck for me Monday night & it looked familiar, as to the meat. The taste was unique, not like our wild ducks or geese which I am not really into. I finally realized it looks & may be similar in taste to veal cutlets, but it has been years since I had any. I was supposed to eat more before my flight on early Wednesday March 26th. But Lena made me lie down at 10 PM for 3 hours for some sleep before we were to head to the airport. I had just finished off the last of the Shish-kebabs from an Armenian restaurant, which was about 4 meals worth for $30. Hossam was to pick us up at 2:15 & he arrived on the dot, if not a minute before. We had to say our goodbyes there at the apartment, as she was not allowed to go in when I did. They are very strict in their security. I did get a Coke & a double whopper at BK (Burger King) there in the airport. The only problem was it had sweet pickles (only two), so they got chunked. It is hamburger Dill or Polish for me.

Wrapping it up, at IST this time, they dropped just passed D-4. Again a long layover but only 5 to 6 hours this time. I debated going back to F-15 areas with all those comfortable chairs, but then I would have to hit those stairs if I had to come back. So no way. I sat for quite a few hours until my gate number was posted. Well, no rest for the weary as it was A-6. So it looks like I basically will be touring the whole city inside. So I start scrambling with my personal & carry-on bags & puffer vest & corduroy light coat. I did not jot down the time I left the Billboard of flights there. But I was buggying. When the conveyers came up, I took them, but rested while it did its work. I finally get thru the C-s & Hmm, it seems we are coming to an end, but there is an exit on the right. No wait, A/B goes down straight ahead (at least it was down and an escalator. Well, this portion turns left. So here we go, I got thru all the B-s & finally go to A-6, but I had to go further as you had to enter past A-6(B). So, i pretty well walked the Turkey International Airport. Then after we took off, it was about a 12.5 hour trip back to Houston. I must say, I like Turkish airlines. Very friendly crews. It took Eric & Kristina about an hour to find me. It seems this new section Terminal D & E for international arrivals was opened in December and was underground partially & the signs out there were very confusing, so I had to give my phone to a deputy sheriff (while he was still directing traffic) who stayed talking with Eric giving instructions, wo was relaying them to Kristina (she was driving). Finally 15 minutes later they pulled in. We ate at a Whataburger in The Woodlands off of I-45. And arrived home after crossing the river about 1 AM. I had estimated getting home between 1 AM to 2 AM & told Lena I would call. But sadly, I could not get thru on her phone lines or Skype. I finally gave up and crawled into bed about 5:30 AM. And after 4 hours, had to get going again. We finally touched base Saturday morning (2 days later).


We've got stuff planned thru the 4th of May here. BUT, I was just looking at the May calendar & I think a "Giant" trip is in order for the following weekend as the 10th/11th/12th (Sat/Sun/Mon) is YC (as to LCC), as well as PYC days. I guess I will need to check on the water level, at RB Marina. I need to make sure I can get out to set my lines. So I will decide which boat, probably the new Tracker 12 footer with the youth kayak stabilizer attached once getting to the lake.
