In this saddening daily world in which we reside, freedom to do as you used to is becoming a rare item. The ole just stop wherever and get out and wander is a thing of the past , not much in the way of the wide open running free range types of settings exist these days .
There are a few spots left though and even those are getting less free daily. Case in point is a place where it used to be walk in whenever and have at the fish and now they got cameras and an automated pay station at the entrance as of this year.
Now does it bother me much , not really , I have a yearly pass that allows entry without extra cash that I use in other areas like it to hit to ketch fish , swim and launch a boat if I am so lucky to have one in tow.
So we often take our dog to a huge area that she can run free , makes her day to run like the wind and chase the ducks and deer and swim and so forth . Also serves as great exercise for the family 2 leggers too. Now this spot is on the upper end of the lake and fish like to spawn around there so sometimes I carry a rod and pitch my jig for a few minutes.
Yesterday we went over there and even though I thought it might be a waste of time and energy to carry a rod in on that there LONG walk , it was a pleasant surprise to find a few fish still in short water . It wasn't exactly on fire , but to be sure there were fish biting and even got to "see" a huge colored up male do an enormous cartwheel is his rather successful attempt at freedom !
All the fish were just barely hooked in the lip and the bites were not really aggressive , but it was nice to ketch a few fish.
the bad news is this about that , the phone is now the one on the leash ,not allowed to be running free and not the dog, this time ...... rotflrotflrotflrotflrotfl
KABOOM is the word ya"ll :highfive
