Wednesday morning, I was hoping I would be suiting up for fishing. Before I crawled out of a warm bed, punctuated with the cat singing the blues, that phone rang, “It’s 22 degrees at the airport.” When I got around to checking, moments later, it was 21 degrees, here.
I’ll lose part of a garden. I’ll wonder who didn’t drip water and has frozen pipes.
Unrelated:
Too cold to fish in the morning, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about a new hairstyle. I’ve got to consider, especially after the blustery boat ride, and what that did to my hair, I’m thinking dreadlocks would be a good idea. Far more manageable.
After Tuesday morning and afternoon? I’m halfway there, already.
Unrelated retail fish tales:
“Man, you got to love this place,” my buddy was telling me. Smart shopper (Virgo).
He had a new reel, two, in fact, so I picked up my xmoose present to myself, a shiny new Capricorn spinning reel. Got home, strapped it on, tied a cotton-candy colored grub on, and went to test it.
Third cast. Solid hit. Felt like I was struggling with a submerged branch, only this guy fought hard.
Daiwa Capricorn Spinning Reel – CA2000A – $99.00
The reel’s model name is Capricorn. Means good things are in store for the future.
December 15, 2004, nice piece of bass
plus one at night
I got to looking at the pictures, one’s from the phone, the other is from the “el-cheapo deluxe digital” jobbie, and both pictures look like the same fish. Almost as if I’d seen him before, earlier in the afternoon. Maybe not the brightest of fish, but a nice fighter. And the fighter is free again. Very different baits, too.
