Cermele: Seen Any Good Shows Lately?

By Joe Cermele

When I got home Monday evening, the sun was shining for the first time in what felt like months around here. So, with no great expectations and just an itch to get out, I grabbed one rod, two lures and took a drive a local park with a lake therein. The fishing was awful, but I was treated to a show, though not nearly the best I've ever seen.

On the far side of the lake was a young couple laying on a blanket. From my distance, it was hard to tell exactly what was going on, but it involved more than soaking in late-day sun and conversing. There was, er, much rolling. If you spend enough time fishing areas highly visited by the public, you're bound to see something along these lines eventually.

And if you walk dark beaches after the bars close like I do in the summer to surf fish, you end up saying "whoops, sorry" more than you'd think. Couples also apparently assume nobody follows long trails to trout streams in August, but I do.

I fished with a musky guide not long ago who told me he once came around a bend in the Delaware River and found a couple "having fun" on the bank. "I thought they would bolt," he told me. "But they didn't. So I dropped anchor and so did another boat. When it was all over we gave them a round of applause and they loved it."

Have you been treated to some shows out there? Keep it clean. Use metaphors if you have to. Don't make me delete your comments.

Was given my first real life viewing of the female form on several rafts trips on the Salmon and Snake as a kid. My dad would smack me on the back of the head and tell me to look the other way as he rowed away, my Uncle would always row his raft up to visit, I soon learned to demand to ride in my Uncle's raft....Something about the backcountry makes certain women decide to go natural in all kinds of ways.....

You think its bad just fishing? Try hiking to remote hotsprings. Its like an outdoor porn arena. One time, we came down the trail to the hot pond and saw this guy's face buried in her...
Well, anyways, it was an eyefull! People have no shame!

By the way Joe, I hope this post doesn't get out of hand! Good luck!

I was fishin' for Muskie, in the Daniel Boone National Forest on Cave Run Lake many moons ago, and saw a huge whitetail gettin' a drink from the waters edge in the middle of the day.

I watched this beautiful specimen for several moments, when it began to walk away. Not wanting to let the moment get away from me,I decided to motor to shore and track the huge whitetail.

It proceeded to go up a point and out of the cove I was docked in.The whitetail continued along a small ridge that went into another cove, several hundred yards from where I had gone a shore.

The whitetail stopped and glanced down into the cove,as I wondered what had caught his attention. I had my binoculars with me and scanned the waters edge down into the cove and watched as another beautiful white tail came into focus.

There was a beautiful couple engaged in love making,in front of the huge whitetail,me and God,from inside their boat.The woman was staring into the mans eyes as she prceeded with her push-ups.

The funny part, was the pulsating of the boat that was creating ripples in the water.I tried not to stare, and kept lookin' at the other whitetail, that was still lookin' at the action going on inside the boat.

The pulsations from inside the boat became more frequent,causing bigger ripples on the surface of the water. The boat slowly moved away from shore,as the ripples became small wakes.

Forty-five minutes later I'm still observing,the huge whitetail,that is still staring at the beautiful white tail inside the bass boat.

All of a sudden,the man lets out a WOO HOOOO ... the huge whitetail flinched in my binoculars and silently walked over the ridge ... I followed him!

From time to time I take teenagers in my community who never get to go fishing to one of the local spots to introduce them to the sport.

One very hot summer I had a 15-year-old boy in the boat and we were making our way up the river channel from the lake in hopes of finding some walleye. As we approached a big bend, which has a large sand beach formed by the current, our jaws dropped. A group of young women were playing topless volleyball on this beach, which is accessible only by boat. My fishing companion said, "OH MAN! I'm gonna get me a boat!"

To which I replied, "You better start by getting a job, then a tow vehicle, then a boat. And stop staring."

I caught a distrbing glimsp of a girl on the bank doing God knows what to a dude. Let's just say if I could have hooked her it would have been an all tackle world record.

I think there is a relationship between good fishing and ugly woman. If you find ugly women, the fishing has to be good.

yeah, so I have a remote canyon that we like to fish near Boulder. It has the propensity for lots of nude men to be running around... together. ;)

Unfortunately the fishing is outstanding, so it's hard not to go back. You just never know what you're going to see scrambling around the next corner.

Once, a long time ago when I was much youger, I took a young lady for a boat ride to a secluded (so I thought) beach to ... um, get to know her better. We were enjoying each other's company in our all-natural attire when we noticed 2 people approaching. Before we were able to put on more traditional beach attire, they came close enough for us to see ... pretty much everything. We were a little more modest--hiding behind a towel. The young couple turned around and gave us a nice view of the other side as they casually walked away. True story.

I was just up on one of the Deschutes lakes in Oregon and could clearly see a couple err... getting comfortable with one another out in plain sight. This lake had a campground attached to it too! No long hike up a windy trail required.

I have come across several incidents like this one in the past, people take in the outdoors and really believe they can do what they want to do in the outdoors.

Some people are not shy at all relish the opportunity to go as far as they can before they get caught, while some actually want to be seen.

Makes your outdoor adventures even more exciting and hey you always have a great story to share.

Just this past May I went for my first fishing outing on a secluded lake in SE Portage County WI and took my ex along to try and rekindle the flame. We were doing well with catching panfish and an occasional bass when I noticed a couple sunbathing on the shore where we could clearly see them from my canoe. I made the comment that the girl appeared to be very scantily clad, but focused my attention elsewhere to stay out of trouble.

About an hour later, I looked back and the couple were seriously engaged in "getting to know each other". I mentioned this to my ex and her jaw dropped. We both tried to focus on the fishing, but kept turning our heads and watched the couple. To this, we joked that it was like visiting the zoo for the first time and coming across animals engaged together. You know its wrong to watch, but you just can't look away!

I have had one instance where I went night fishing on the beach and a couple was walking the beach, they stopped in the back of me and I thought they were going to watch me but next thing you know, I turn around and look to see them "making sand angels". I picked up and went to a different spot... the sound of the ocean waves could not even drown out the sound they were making.

Timely topic as I just had a good peep show last Sunday on Big Mac here in Nebraska. A young lady decided she needed to shed her bikini top to make some adjustments to it. Right in front of about a dozen boats. Her b/f made a pretty poor attempt at shielding her from us, but I did get a good side view. Too bad I was trolling against the flow of traffic and had to keep at least one eye on where I was driving. Still, the quick peek made up for the bad fishing.

How funny...I have been on both sides of the coin too...

Got caught once parked by the river with my wife. It was awkward, because we went to great lengths to park out of the way and stay out of sight, but along came the deputy- a little short guy all the local kids called "Willow". We saw the lights coming and tried to get covered up, but he musta been bored out of his mind, because he was on that car like flies on stink. Next thing I know (pants half up now) there's a light shining through the steamed glass-right in my face- and a 'bang bang bang'. "Mam, is everything alright in there?" I wanted to come unglued, I know the little bastard knew what we were up to. But of course, all smiles, we both acknowldged that indeed everything was more than "alright". So off he went, I could hear the little dork laughing before the door to his cruiser shut.

The other time we got busted was in Grand Teton Park. She (yes, it was her idea) wanted to take the picnic blanket and go for a "walk". I was a little nervous, but consented. We parked at a small pullout- vacated of course- and went a little ways over a berm and back into the woods. Things were going great there for a little while, but that is when the minivan with California plates pulled up and 'squeezed' in to the tiny pullout. We could see them, but for obvious reasons were pretty well brushed in. The gypo tourists and their kids were staying near the road, but it was their damn lab that started making me nervous! Sure enough, here comes Rover- making a bee-line... what do you do? Yell at him, throw rocks? Jump up with your pants around your ankles and make a break for it, hoping that:
A.) you don't trip yourselves and sustain puncture wounds to places you never wanted to discuss with the ER doc, or
B.) Scare the hell out of the Waltons, who would surely be scarred for life, and undoubtedly find time to grab your plate numbers before they peeled out of the turnout.

Well, we played it cool- okay not cool, scared sh**less, but we did not move or make a sound. They called the dog, who was staring over the bank at us with a look that was somewhare between, "What the he...?" and "Should I bark, or attack, or just introduce myself?" Reluctantly the pooch turned and "shaking his head" went back and loaded up in the Caravan. Obviously, the moment was ruined, but the only ones who knew were us and the dog. The laughing and scramble to get covered up and back to the car were almost as euphoric as the other activity. That was the last time we ever fooled around where getting caught was likely... I am just glad dogs don't talk!

I got a show was when I was 17. I went on a Grand Canyon float trip for a men's family reunion with my dad's side of the family- about 20 guys went- I was the youngest in attendance. We did the lower portion of the Colorado out of the Canyon and into Lake Mead- two days on the water, and the usual associated amenities.
Those of you familiar with the Grand Canyon Park policy know that you are not allowed to relieve yourself on the bank or the shore. Number two’s had to go in a pack along composting toilet, and number one went right into the Colorado. This is one reason no one "hollers" when they go through rapids on that particular river- it’s the large-scale version of drinking from the toilet! I was assured that the volume of water diluted it sufficiently, but none-the-less, I made sure not to get any river water in my mouth!

Anyways, back to the subject... My seventeen year old mind had already been aroused to the notion that the chances to come along a bunch of pretty gals taking a bath or some other similar circumstance were pretty good, so I was particularly observant of the available scenery- geologic and otherwise.
I think that God wanted to teach me something about dirty minds, and chastity and all of those good things, because about noon on the second day of the trip we pulled in to a beach for a lunch break. Other boats were using the same beach- some were pulling out as we arrived, and others coming and going while we ate. So along comes this other group of rafts and docs a stone's throw up river. Casually I glanced at the group, being fairly unconcerned.
Then it hit me- like a couple 700 grain slugs from a Twin .50. At first I felt pale and listless, and remembering to breath, I thought to myself, "Is that, wha...wha...what I think it is?" And the answer came quickly- yes it was~
She looked like Larry the Cable Guy's sister, only about three times the size, wearing a sun dress the size of a Montana Wall tent. This mountain of a woman-casting her shadow on our boats, dropped her drawers and was taking a leak in front of the Heavens and everybody. I almost choked on my granola bar- I am sure my eyes were the size of saucers!
Then I found my voice again, which I am pretty sure found a mud covered rock at the bottom of the Colorado River to hide under. In an almost hoarse, inaudible whisper I said, "Hey guys, … look at… THAT!" About that time 20 other men turned. That is when the "cringe" became contagious- it was like the wave at a ballgame, except the looks on faces were not happy ballpark looks- more like facial expressions from Calvin and Hobbs after they discovered the largest booger known to man.

So the "ye-gads" and "Ohhhyucks" bounced down the raft until at the end poor Cousin David had no place to go but over backwards into the river, until he realized the we were down- stream from the spectacle. I have never seen anyone levitate out of water like that!
The expression about cows and flat rocks was nothing compared to what happened right in front of our horror filled faces. The comment that lingers with me still was "Dear Lord, burn the eyes out of my head!"
Of course everyone was pissed that I made them aware of the indiscretion. I can tell you one thing, there was not way in hell I was going to suffer that kind of trauma solo- I had to share the horror- I was afraid of PTS and didn’t want to go to counseling on my own. I quit looking for naked women after that. I even ignored the cocktail girls in the casino hotel when we got back to Vegas. All I can say is be careful what you wish for!

I was walking down the beach surf fishing at night when I heard a strange noise. Thinking nothing of it I turned and shined my headlamp towards the dunes.

You think its bad just fishing? Try hiking to remote hotsprings. Its like an outdoor porn arena. One time, we came down the trail to the hot pond and saw this guy's face buried in her...
Well, anyways, it was an eyefull! People have no shame!

By the way Joe, I hope this post doesn't get out of hand! Good luck!

I caught a distrbing glimsp of a girl on the bank doing God knows what to a dude. Let's just say if I could have hooked her it would have been an all tackle world record.

I think there is a relationship between good fishing and ugly woman. If you find ugly women, the fishing has to be good.

Once, a long time ago when I was much youger, I took a young lady for a boat ride to a secluded (so I thought) beach to ... um, get to know her better. We were enjoying each other's company in our all-natural attire when we noticed 2 people approaching. Before we were able to put on more traditional beach attire, they came close enough for us to see ... pretty much everything. We were a little more modest--hiding behind a towel. The young couple turned around and gave us a nice view of the other side as they casually walked away. True story.

I was just up on one of the Deschutes lakes in Oregon and could clearly see a couple err... getting comfortable with one another out in plain sight. This lake had a campground attached to it too! No long hike up a windy trail required.

I have come across several incidents like this one in the past, people take in the outdoors and really believe they can do what they want to do in the outdoors.

Some people are not shy at all relish the opportunity to go as far as they can before they get caught, while some actually want to be seen.

Makes your outdoor adventures even more exciting and hey you always have a great story to share.

If you haven't seen it all yet, you don't go fishing often enough.

I have had one instance where I went night fishing on the beach and a couple was walking the beach, they stopped in the back of me and I thought they were going to watch me but next thing you know, I turn around and look to see them "making sand angels". I picked up and went to a different spot... the sound of the ocean waves could not even drown out the sound they were making.

Timely topic as I just had a good peep show last Sunday on Big Mac here in Nebraska. A young lady decided she needed to shed her bikini top to make some adjustments to it. Right in front of about a dozen boats. Her b/f made a pretty poor attempt at shielding her from us, but I did get a good side view. Too bad I was trolling against the flow of traffic and had to keep at least one eye on where I was driving. Still, the quick peek made up for the bad fishing.

Dang. Some of you guys are lucky. All I get are fat chicks and gay dudes.

I've been on the other side of the coin but we won't go there and I sure as heck didn't get applause when I was done. People usually applaud good movies, not commercials. :)

I was walking down the beach surf fishing at night when I heard a strange noise. Thinking nothing of it I turned and shined my headlamp towards the dunes. Not ten feet away was a couple who were probably in there fifties engaging in quite the spectacle right on the sand. Can't imagine the sand they got into their...uhh...places...
