fishing 2009

This fishing season is not getting off to a good start. Was out again today on Lake Petty. Not a single fish, I am sure the bass are around there somewhere. This was my second trip with a new fishing buddy.If things dont soon start happening, my reputation as a fisherman extraordinaire will be damaged beyond repair. I have made about 6 trips on the Shepody river and got skunked on three of them, entered two bass tournaments and only caught 1 bass total, very dissapointing!!! I guess I will have to sacrifice a virgin to the fish gods or something equally impressive. Well thats enough ranting, I better go get the boat ready for the next trip tomorrow!!!

campfires

Was up to my camp last night for a couple of hours. Had the first campfire of 2009. It was a beautiful evening with no bugs. Didnt do any work yet or anything, just sat on my bus driver seat sipping on a cold beer and watched the fire. Even the dogs were not running around, just laying down watching the fire also. Next week I will go up and take off some winter covers and install the screens and start on some yard work. (i better get my garden in next week also) I plan on staying several nights this year , probably me and the 2 dogs. Didnt get much camptime last year. There just seems to be something special about sitting around a campfire, even if you dont have any weenies!!
