Thread: Took A While To Find "Em...But I Did!

Gerald, as I get older each year I have to MAKE myself go fishing sometimes. I've been getting up pretty darned early and getting to the boat ramp before day breaks, getting everything ready with the boat and getting unloaded and underway by daylight. I try getting to my fishing spot as soon as I can because I know I aint fishing much past 9AM. (My problem is I dont quit while it's cool, thinking I can get an extra 30-45 minutes in before I hafta quit.) Quitting at 9AM gives ya about 3 hours of fishing before loading back up again so if you get on some fish you can easily catch a good mess or three. I also carry along a 52" umbrella that helps alot since on these hotter days it's already warm at 8AM. I'd say the worst part is getting the boat loaded, organized, and ready for the road...especially if youre fishing by yourself. I work up a pretty good sweat doing that but it gets old sitting in the cabin all summer long and I just gotta go fishing cause I love it so much. Gotta admit though...this heat does take alot of the fun out of it. Go early and leave early (according to plan...before it gets hot:rolleyes and it aint bad at all though.
