Nobody Panic... Remain Calm...

:yikesI realize that some of you will assume the Apocalypse is nigh.:yikes
I actually went fishing today. :yikes:fish:yikes

It gets worse......

I actually caught some fish!!!!! :HandsClapping

Lone Star Lakes... Butler tract.

1/64 oz unpainted minnow head Jigs and Gulp 1/2cm Cricket was the only thing that would get a bite. Tried everything from 1/8 oz to 1/64 oz jigs with every color in the rainbow... including my go to Cajun Cricket and BGBS Blue Ice. A lot of surface bugs so I tried the Gulp Cricket and BAM First fish was a Bass.

No Crappie... a few Bass and a lot of Bluegills.

Fished from 8am until 3pm.

First trip in the Kayak.

Sore as all get out now. You think 7 hours of paddling might have been a little too much for the first time in 5 or so years?

OMG! This changes everything. A buddy warned me about a stock market correction around 17000 and now Doug goes fishing at 16908. Tomorrow should be a heck of a ride..

Congrats Doug. Looks like fun.

OMG!!!!! He can fish! Must all be connected. Corn and Wheat made bullish reversals on the charts Friday, Dayton is calling resistance at 17000 on the Dow and CG went and caught fish! Something cataclismic is going to happen.CF

I work 6 day work weeks every week too. Sometimes You have to just let the yard go for a week. It will still be there when You get back to it.CF

For a long time I have wanted to try a Kayak. I've looked long and hard but I have found no public docks with a davit to assist in getting my large self out of it once the day is done. The only option I can think of is to roll over into the water and get up from there, and that's not much of an option. Looks like you had a good time, always good to get out. A little at a time, you'll do just fine.

Glad you got out for once. I know about them six day work weeks. As I am on commission you have to push it to the limits.

Busted... you caught me.....

Here is the real pic of me fishing Sunday....

.Attachment 165205

Loved being out there......
The gentle lap of water at the hull
The birds singing in the brush
The soft rocking of the Kayak
The murmuring whisper of the wind blowing though my rib cage.....

Wonderful day all in all don't you think?
