What a ritual! It?s down to a science ? first he gets up like he?s been awake the whole night, just waiting for this moment, and is dressed in minutes. ?Next Wholesale Jerseys China , he figures out how to get our 14-foot boat to the car around the combination of the living room door corner and a 6-foot hallway to get out the front door in one move. ?Then down the porch stairs and onto the small Toyota Yaris he?s got temporarily (illegally) perched on the sidewalk at the base of our porch!?
Then he wakes us up as he goes for the equipment; 4 boat seats, 4 oars, 2 anchors, 3 life jackets, 2 trolling motors, 1 cooler, 1 net, 1 fish finder Wholesale Jerseys , 1 first aid kit, 2 tackle boxes, 9-12 fishing rods, 2 batteries and more (he?s got a check list)!? That?s a lot of stuff stuffed into our small car! ?He?s ready to go so we better be ready too. ?There?s no time for laggards.? The coffee and drinks come just before he?s kicking our half-asleep bodies out the door.
?On The Road
So we?re riding in our car on our way to our fishing spot, it?s still dark outside, there?s no one else on the roads except 1 or 2 cars, (why can?t the roads be like this all the time). ?James is forever chasing the night before dawn touches it. ?He?ll say ?Do you see dawn in the horizon over there?, pointing in one direction or another. ?Let?s hurry so we can beat it? Cheap NFL Jerseys Online , or ?Can you see the quantum change in light ? it?s gonna be dawn soon ? we?re late?.? ?Quantum what?? And as we pass other ponds and lakes along the way James will yell out ?do you see the mist on the water.? That means we?re still on time??? The only mist I see is the misty realm of being half asleep.? That?s where Arthur and I are.
At Our Fishing Spot
????
We take our fishing boat off the roof and set it up. It?s 14 feet long and weighs 150 lbs!? I don?t know how he does it. ?Then we have to load up our boat with everything we?d packed in the car: ?fishing rods, net, bait, tackle boxes, fish finder, etc., (you get the short story here).? This takes 35 minutes, all this before sunrise Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale , with him rushing us all the way. And No, I?m not bitchy!
The Ghostly Mist
And we had better be on water before sunrise while the mist is still on the water!!? (James likes to see the mist on the water before the morning sun evaporates it.)? He says it?s imperative that we get to the fish at their breakfast time, not when it?s convenient for us. ?To him the mist is some kind of fish breakfast signal.? But to me the mist kind of gives the lake a ghost like feeling.
On The Water
At last we''re in our boat and on the water just before the sun starts to rise; I have my coffee so I?m finally waking up, and good to go.? It?s so beautiful on the early morning water, the sky and trees reflecting off the glassy surface as the scattering mist yields to the rising sun and we enjoy soft waves and cool breeze.
?We start to see signs of fish, a ripple here, a ripple there, and then all of a sudden a fish will jump out of the water and make a splash.?
That?s my magic moment Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping , when the sun hits the water, the mist evaporates and the fish start jumping, and I think to myself ?Gee, this is really peaceful? then James breaks my reverie by yelling ?Grab your rods and let?s get to fishing?.
Catching Fish
We catch all types of fresh water fish: yellow and white perch, trout, crappie, sunfish, pickerel Cheap NFL Jerseys From China , blue gill, the occasional turtle, but mostly we love to catch bass, that?s our favorite. ?It?s hard to describe the feeling of actually ?fighting the fish?, but it?s so different it?s not a feeling you?re likely to forget. ?When you actually land a fish, or for us ?BRING IT INTO THE BOAT?, (the fish doesn?t count if you can?t touch it), you feel like you?ve accomplished a major feat.? It?s very satisfying Cheap NFL Jerseys China , especially when everyone else is catching and you?re not.?
Oh Yes! Sometimes we keep our best catch in the cooler (livewell), so we can see how many we caught as we try to keep count.? And we use at least 2 aerators to keep them alive because, by the way, we?re STRICTLY CATCH AND RELEASE!! ?We like the idea of there actually being fish to catch ? or of catching the same fish again and again.? And CAN WE FISH! There might be a problem if we kept what we caught.? We?ve got hundreds of pictures!
Oh Nature
Like all fishermen, some days we catch next to nothing, and other days we catch well over 30 plus and boy are we exhausted but we always have a wonderful time. ?We clearly have far more good days than bad. There?s nothing like it: you?re on the water, catching fish, surrounded by swans Cheap NFL Jerseys , ducks and sometimes, singing birds. The sun?s shining, there?s an island over there and here, you?re with the one?s you love.? You actually feel like you?re one with nature. ?And speaking of nature, it?s so easy for you guys, but for us girls we have to get creative and those islands certainly do come in handy. Oops, wrong Nature?s calling, again!
