In the month of April, thus far, one year after (regrettably) moving to a subscription model, the numbers ain’t good. Ain’t bad, but ain’t good, neither.
Oddly enough, one of the subscription perks is the weekly audio file/recording. It’s accounting for 10% of the bandwidth burned this month. Only available through the subscription side, sorry.
Fishing notes (aka the nature channel):
I got up early, for some unknown reason, looked at the clock and decided that a quick trip the shoreline would be in order. Fish seemed to be hitting the surface so I used a topwater with no luck. I switched to a plastic under a long-distance bobber, and just as I was getting in close to the dock, I had a strike. Half-hearted attempt, more like a nibble, but – at least – someone was interested.
Sun rose, waterfront turned quiet, I went back the computer and work, such as it was. Took a couple of panic calls, and then thought I’d try the “suspending minnow” lure, just for a laugh. What I like about fishing: as I was getting that lure into the dock, a couple of babies attacked it, one almost registered as a real bite. Get this: in the clear water of the Colorado? I could tell that the fish hitting the lure, the minnow, nay, the fingerling hitting that lure? The lure was bigger than the fish.
That’s a fish with some fight, attitude and spunk.
