Finally going fishing (In which I admit to having a problem.)
Don't know about the photo, but I'll take a copy.
TNBass and I have scheduled to meet in the morning. This will be my one
chance for the next four months to fish. I am looking forward to one last
chance to fish with Joe . After that I can't say when I'll get another
opportunity. Didn't even buy a license this year, I'll just pick up a temp.
three day permit this evening. not that it matters all that much. The thrill
escapes me these days!
I guess lives & priorities change, I remember spending almost every weekend
out on the local lake in a rented jon boat with the wife. Those days are
long past , it seems the more I strived to get better the less I enjoyed it.
Anyway, I will try to drop in here as time will permit .

After months of pretty much no fishing what-so-ever (Here in the Southern
Hemisphere that means I've missed the last Autumn, Winter, Spring and
Summer) I'm finally going on a camping trip to a dam called Bulshoek. I'll
have to row in a 10ft inflatable canoe and the dam is narrow and about
9km's
long so it looks I'll also be working off some of the flab I've picked up
over the last few months.
I have come to the conclusion that fishing is worse than crack cocaine.
The
withdrawal symptoms that you get from going without crack can't be half as
bad as what I've gone though lately and the feeling when I'm on the
water...
I'm not even going to mention the feverish anticipation now that I know
I'll
be getting some quality time on the water. It is really unfair on my
employer. I can't concentrate on a single non-fishing related thought for
more than a minute before my mind gets back to planning my attack on the
water. (I can actually feel the adrenaline picking up when I think about
it.).
I'll be cleaning out my box and respooling my line tonight. Then going
through my box tomorrow night again.
What can I say. I'm a freak. I have a picture of me and the most beautiful
largemouth I've ever caught on my desk instead of a picture of my
girlfriend. This is not healthy. I need help.
Speaking of which, there was an advertisement for Zebco that was a picture
of a woman in a bathtub with someone casting a plastic worm in it. The
caption was "something along the lines of "Larry you weirdo.".
Does anyone know where I might get a copy of that picture? I think it
would
look good as a desktop on my PC.
