Taking a child fishing is can be one of the most rewarding experiences an angler experience. The smile that crosses a youngster’s face when the fight is on, and the fish is landed is priceless!

One Blue Worm at a Time

I’m sitting here with a pack of tube jigs, 4” smoke color, and two Rapala Countdown minnowbaits, CD-7’s, one in Trout and the other in Perch. Everything is quiet. I’m drinking a Diet Coke.

It’s been a typically long week at work, so after my Saturday errands and chores, even though I’m exhausted, I decide to go fishing this evening. I pack way too much gear into my car (’94 Toyota Corolla, black and rust) in hopes of catching a few bass or channel catfish. The evening is too beautiful to not at least put out a line and sit quietly, absorbing the humid summer breeze and the brilliant red/orange/pink sunset. I’m exhausted inside and out, and the only thing that seems right is to fish. Without delving into the spiritual, most of us know that we fish for other reasons than catching fish.
