After a relatively decent day at work, I came home to find Shugah had made dinner and all I had to do was sit down and eat it! Afer finishing up a delicious dinner of grilled portabella mushrooms, pork tenderloin and veggies... Looking out the window I spied a very calm atmosphere... barely any wind... It was at this point that I looked at the Wookie and said " I am going to do my best to convince Shug that we should all go out in the canoe tonight." Well, that ended up not working out so well... he suggested that I just take out the Wookie... so I looked at her and said "Are you ready to learn how to fish?" i think she had the gear out the door faster than I ever have.
So off we went... when we got down to the pond we found it was the calmest and most serene it had been all year.... No waves. No wind. Just glass. So off we went... and SLAM! Wookie caught her first fish... a good size SMB. She reeled it in with just the right grace and finesse , no beginners panic... there it was, her first fish right by the side of the canoe... and here it comes, right into the canoooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!! It does the infamous SMB freak out and off the lure it comes. Oh, poor Wookie.... I thought. She handled it well though... a few swears and she was over it and on her way back to casting.
After about a half hour or so, I was on... a 6 inch perch... not much bigger than my lure. Cute little guy just the same... but go tell all your big friends we are out here...
We spent another forty minutes or so out there... and caught nothing but a good time... which sometimes is the thing that I like best about fishing... you can not be catching anything but you are still enjoying yourself just the same... because there is no peace like being out there on that pond with the sun setting, the frog orchestra playing and the canadian geese flying overhead.
As for the lack of photos... the batteries were dead on the camera... and Wookie did all she could to try to snap the shot before the camera woulf shut off... but no such luck... so I am going to dip into the archives and post a picture of brother Bob... the fisherman i aspire to be and post one of his beauties from last year...
Thanks for reading.
Fish On!
