CONGRATS, Clogs!!! nice work!
God Bless that baby girl and your bride!!!
MAY~~~~ has been bittersweet for me.
SWEEEEET first!!! got turned-on to the Canal. having never fished it before,,,,,,,,,,,i am hooked, and LOVE everything that makes the DITCH what it is. dropped two fish there. one, i just completely was so "buck fevered" that i prolly lost a decent sized fish due to several factors, the most of which were not playing the fish, and assuming that the fish was much smaller than it prolly was. hard tellin',,,,,,,,not knowin'. also, i met and fished with some truly quality, top-notch Stripermen within their chosen disciplines, and to a man they were humble and a pleasure to fish with. i was able to ASK and BE much less knowledgable than them, and they were free and gracious with their expertise. life-affirming stuff there, and i am humbled by both the freedom with which the info was shared and the ease in which these Gentlemen were able to make it understandable, doable, and teachable. my THANKS, by itself, can never be enough and i hope to repay their wisdom and kindness, sum haunt, by landing sum LAHHHHHHGE~~~~ some night sooooon
the BITTER??? snapping my pluggin' rod about 10 casts into jigging the ditch for only the second time, EVER!! equally as bitter, more like BRUTAL, was having to keep reservations to go camping with the family in SoCo, while the BITE is awwwwn at the Cape and i was begining to apply technique/learn spots,,,,,,,,,,,,and THEN, when ya get to the Ocean State, the effin' trawlers and the tides have got so much MUNG and everything VEGGIE so stirred up that the outside is UFF. everywhere i was able to get to while attached to family, SUCKED! the bonus??? my Girls and i had a GREAT time camping, beaching, playgrounding, Gentleman Farmer Dining, CTown MemDayParading, sunrising, and just BEing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ahhhhhhh, but this IS a fishing thread! SOOOO, with 3 trips(2 Cape, 1SoCo) i am fishless, picless; but the NShore awaits and so doesn't the NEW
