    Default working on my lesson


    A little while back, I got to go out with Skeetbum and he showed me how he fishes the river. this morning I got to go out and practice the lessons that he showed me and to try and put a few fish in the box for lunch.

    Well, the key words here were "TRY" and "FEW". Tim made it look a whole lot easier than what I was doing. But I did get to make the rod bend. But the fish just kept getting smaller and smaller. I was starting to wonder what I was going to do for lunch.

    I moved in closer to shore where there was an old tree trunk on the edge of the water and made a pitch to the trunk. It dropped right at the base and started to fall. Then the line moved , I pulled back on the rod and the rod bent , and then the reel started to sing. Fish on and it had some size to it.

    I worked that section of the river some more and got the rod to bend one more time. That was two in the box and that was enough for fish tacos.

    I crossed the river and tried some more but I was back in to the tiny fish again.

    But I got in some much needed practice ( still need some more, I may have go out again soon ) , got to bend the rods a few time and still managed to bring home lunch.

    Tally for the day was 10 fish with two making the ride home. Name:  river bluegills 7-12-19.jpg

    I’m glad to be reading this, more than you can imagine. It isn’t always that I teach someone something new and they follow my lead. The word is confidence. You were confident in what you know would produce a few fish, and did exactly that. Glad you got lunch out of the deal, those were respectable fish for around here. Now when you ride around you will be looking for the components of the shoreline we fished together, and there’s enough of it around. Good Job Mister, and thank you.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    Never too old to learn. and I enjoy learning new things. I love to find new ways to enjoy fishing and I thank you so much for taking the time to show me what you do. It is going to add to my joy of fishing.
