let me try. I fish with my black lab Luther. He Knows when I am going fishing just by the clothes I wear. If I put on my waders he starts going nuts knowing he's going fishing. At first it was tough keeping him off my plug when surf casting. He would try to swim out to it and grab it. But after catching a few fish he got the hang of what we were out there to do. He can hear a fish strike my plug from anywhere on the beach and comes over to help me land my catch of the day.
One day after fishing the morning tide, we came home and being to tired to put my fishing gear away, I put my plugg (atom popper) on a unlit cooking grill and leaned my rod against the shed. I went to sleep. Luther loves one thing more than fishing and that is food. Luther went sniffing around the grill looking for leftovers and found my atom popper and buried the treble into his nose. The noise the dog made was demonic sounding and my wife runs out to find luther running around the yard with my atom popper hanging off his nose. Not being able to calm him enough to get the hook out, we piled into the car an off to the vets we went. They sedated him and removed the hook. They still remember him there. He is truly a saltydog.
