CARTOON ANSWER:  THE FISHERMEN WANTED TO REEL IN SOME FISH, BUT THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO:

SHYCOCMATSARE = CATCH SOME RAYS

Mike, This one’s for you! 🍹

Good morning, everyone!

Happy National Pretzel Day!  CARPe diem!

Like shooting FISH in a barrel! That’s how we can look at today’s words. Easy, breezy. Filled them in REEL quick.  As for the answer, nothing to TACKLE here. It’s a very commonly known phrase; and even if it’s not one you’re that familiar with, the dialogue: “Pass the sunscreen”, and the cartoon showing the men relaxing with rays emanating from the sun, tipped the SCALES!

So, Puzzle CHUMS, you may be wondering “What’s the CATCH”? ….”Where’s the beef”?   (Not everyone likes fish)!  I guess today was simply a little treat, just for the HALIBUT!   WATER  you think?   Let MINNOW!

Raining here in NY for the second day, but I wish you all a day in the sun.

Until tomorrow.🎣  🚣 🙋🏻
