We dont have to fish for Lent either, It just comes round, all by itself.

We dont have to fish for Lent either, It just comes round, all by itself. Around here LD most Catholics eat fish during Lent as do some of us Lutherans. The walleye we catch out of that ice cold water taste a lot better than the crap you buy in a store and believe it or not cheaper too. The phrase "Lent Fish" is a term used between my Catholic friends and I during a more sombre part of the year when religious differences are put aside and we bond in common fellowship in the frigid cold.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

I was making a joke! Down here right now, we are having a good bite on Yellowtail, not big, 15-25 lbs and Amberjack. For us, we are having chilly weather, 57 this morning. Feels colder in a boat at 25 MPH. I do understand walleye fishing, having had to break ice at the launch ramp in McGregor Iowa to get in. My Hunting fishing buddy is our Lutheran Pastor, who I think will be down soon to help me with the fishing. So many fish, so few fisherman....

RCC, I thought those were buffalo berries. In all my years, I have never heard of bull berries. ??

They are one and the same...or so I have been told all my life among them, by ranchers and farmers here in MT and the Dakotas.
Addition:
It is an hour or so later and being bored to death waiting the sub zero temps to lift so I can go hunt pheasants, I googled both buffalo and bull berries. It seems the old ranchers are correct and that they are one and the same. One of those things like goobers and peanuts.

They are pretty darn good eating after the first frost. They sweeten up with a nice hint of tartness.

RCC, yes, goobers and peanuts. Montana seems to have its own name for a few things. The first hunt in the spring is for gophers, which aren't really gophers, but ground squirrels. In north Colorado, they call the same animal "rock rabbits". Then in Montana and Saskatchewan they can call pheasants "chickens". and the same name applies to sharptails not far away.
