A FISHY STORY

I learned some interesting things about fishing last week, the most important being: when an avid fisherman asks if you want to go fishing be sure to ask for how long.  Make sure his answer is specific (as in minutes/hours).  Here are some other things I learned.

1.Apparently four hours on a boat is really a short time.

2. You haven't really nearly died lived until you've driven in a boat going 60 mph.

3. It takes two days to detangle your hair after riding in a boat going 60 mph.

4. Sitting in a boat for four hours in the hot sun will turn you into an animal. Lobster (sunburn) or raccoon (sunglass tan), take your pick.

5. When a fisherman refers to the bites he got he is most likely talking about mosquito/deerfly/horsefly bites not fish that have attempted to take the lure.

6. Casting near trees is not a good idea, right Nathan?

7. Four people fishing+ four hours= nothing, nada, zilch. (well a couple of little ones that were let go but we came home with nothing)

8. I don't get it.


I probably would have felt better about the whole ordeal experience if I had actually caught something. I was the only one that didn't even get a nibble on my line but maybe that is because I sat and did crosswords for most of the time.  Yeah, that must be it...that or Matt Fuller gave me a bum lure because he didn't want to be shown up by a newbie.

Proof that he actually does catch a fish from time to time.
