    Default Time to train BUBBA to find the water


    Many of you knew I had been grounded by my doctors and the wife from going bank fishing for a while due to health reasons. I had even given up my lure making business in January of this year for the same reasons. I still will make my own lures and those for my pastor and a few close friends though. Well, I have been given the all clear sign to resume fishing from the bank starting July 1, 2016. I have to get my war clothes on and train Bubba to find the water. I have some Bluegill and Crappie to catch. Some of you might laugh at Bubba because he is old like me. It is true I wanted a newer model Bubba but this is what I found and could afford David. We took the Greyhound to Ohio in May to attend our granddaughter's graduation from THE Ohio State University. The bus ride was so horrible, consistently late, and had an accident in Huntsville Alabama which shattered the window right where we were sitting. That resulted in another four hour delay which made us miss connections in Louisville, Nashville, and Cincinnati. I refused to take Loretta on a bus ride back so I bought Bubba and we drove back. We did sneak out fishing while in Ohio and nailed some Bluegill and White Bass. Anyway here is "Bubba" and the White Bass I caught in Ohio using my teardrop Pinmins that were tipped with wax worms.

    That's all good news except for you bus ride. Judging by that cooler you haven't lost your touch. Take it easy now when you get back in that fishing saddle at home or you'll get put on waivers again. lol Hope all is well for you now.
